Warriors The Fourth Apprentice

After my previous book, "Divergent", I have now started a new series called "Warriors: Omen of the Stars" by Erin Hunter. The 1st book in this series is called "The Fourth Apprentice". It is about a group of cats that have seperated into multiple clans called the WindClan, ShadowClan, ThunderClan and RiverClan. These clans have been at peace for many years, but the main characters, Lionblaze, Jayfeather and Dovewing feel trouble brewing in the shadows. Currently, I am on page 152 and this book is very nailbiting and very interesting.


I chose this book because I wanted a feel of different genres of books. This book is very unique in how it utilizes talking cats in a fantasy setting. This book features many different characters which have very crazy names. Some examples of these names are Skeletonfur and Dovewing. A very enticing and interesting moment is when Lionblaze says, "Hurry! Call a medicine cat, Firestar is losing another life!"(Page 31). This was a very huge moment because I wasn't aware that clan leaders had multiple lives. This book also supports the rumor that cats have 9 lives. 




This is a map of the location in which the clans live. The cats refer to the humans as Twolegs because we walk on 2 legs. This map id very important because we need to know the location of the cats to really understand this book. The Gathering Island is a very important location in the map because it is where the clan meeting is held to discuss issues or changes that need to occur to make life peaceful and happy for all of the clans. Sadly, these clans always have problems with food and territorial markings, this leads to fights breaking out between the clans.


The most important line in my book so far takes place in chapter 12 where Jayfeather says, " Firestar's dead!" This is very important because after this scene, war takes place between all 4 of the clans because the Thunderclan declared war on all of the clans if they didn't speak up and tell the clan who murdered Firestar. I'm very surprised that Firestar died because he was a very privileged leader and had a great reputation. He was also a symbol of anti-clan war. Sadly, after this event occured, that's exactly what happened.
