EMILY’S REVIEW
Fire and Ice
Warriors: The Prophecies Begin
5/5 bushy tails
Emily’s age guide: 9–12
Before I start, I just want to say how great this book is, the second book in Warriors: The Prophecies Begin, by Erin Hunter. It’s one of my all time favourites, and could not put it down for a single second. I highly recommend this book, but like any book in a series, it makes more sense if you read the first one first, in this case, ‘Into The Wild’.
It stars a cat called Fireheart, formerly known as Rusty, during his life as a housecat (in the book called a ‘kittypet’). But his kittypet days are over for good, because he is a part of ThunderClan now, one of four cat clans in the forest. This is a story of survival in the forest every year, from dealing with cats from other clans trespassing on ThunderClan territory, to hunting for scarce prey in winter. Meanwhile, RiverClan is becoming restless and WindClan is weak, and facing threats everywhere they look!
On top of all that, Fireheart and his friend Greystripe know something no one else does: there is a traitor in ThunderClan. As they are the only ones who know about it, they feel that it is their duty to prove that Tigerclaw is a murderous traitor, but who would believe two young warriors who always get into trouble?
