About the Author

Erin Hunter is inspired by a love of cats and a fascination with the ferocity of the natural world. As well as having a great respect for nature in all its forms, Erin enjoys creating rich mythical explanations for animal behavior, shaped by her interest in astrology and standing stones.

From AudioFile
This fifth book in Hunter's Warrior Series brings more unrest to the feline warrior clans, who face growing internal divisions. Hunter's cat characters (with names like Firestar and Mosspelt) each have their own virtues and demons. Nanette Savard is an inspired choice for narrator; there's a feline quality to her voice that's perfect here, a kind of purring undertone. Savard also brings a quiet dignity to lines like "you're a warrior, not a moonstruck rabbit" and conveys the serious nature of the cats' situations, and the often ferocious world in which they live. Her dazzling variety of voices (and tonal variety within voices) astonishes, and helps listeners keep straight the many, many cats they'll meet.

Hunter does it again
Twilight, the fifth book in the new prophecy series, is mainly a plot filler, tying up lose ends in the previous books all in preperations for the 6th book Sunset. this time we switch to Squirrelflight's point of view with some chapters for Leafpool. the clans are begining to settle into there new homes and life seems to be returning to normal again but trouble faces Firestar's two daughters. as Squirrelflight becomes more distant from Brambleclaw cause of his friendship to the shady Hawkfrost, she must also deal with the fact of Windclans sudden bitterness towards Thunderclan and as for Leafpool she must struggle with her feelings for Crowfeather that may affect her duties as medicine cat. the book starts out slow in the begining but really picks up at the middle mark and goes into hyper drive at the end which ends in a cliffhanger for Sunset. some people will be dissapointed as a beloved character dies but at the end people will realize it is a logical choice. another great read that will have you at the edge of your seat during its climactic showdown get as soon as possible.

Brilliant story, Bit of a sad ending
I am a majour fan of this series, I have been for years. So obviously I was looking forward to this book. But I was disapointed with the outcome. The authors seem to want to stamp all signs of "Love conquers all" from all of the books. I mean, sure firestar and sandstorm go together, but that is so basic. What I hate is that all scandalous romances are destined to fail. Personally I found Leafpool and Crowfeathers affair alluring and sensitive, incredibly fulfilling. But of course, just like Graystripe and Silverstream, the clans had to get in the way. Its a great storyline though and I found the badger bit a little sad, but very realistic. I am hoping that Squirrelflight and Brambleclaw will get back together. There relationship is very complicated. One minute they are going to fight to the death. The next minute he's offering to travel into windclan territory with her to look for leafpool. I thought they might have something going on, but then there is Ashfur. Squirrelflight is in a magour love triangle, which, either way, will result in sadness to say the least.Ashfur will become incredibly sad if Squirrelflight goes back to Brambleclaw. And Bramblwclaw will be driven even farther towards his father if he is not rescued by love. That is why I read these books.

Another suspenceful novel that keeps you guessing till the end =)
Erin really does it every time! I really loved this book! And it really is sad at the end because in the previous book, Erin was talking about the end is coming for a cat all too soon. For a second I thought that she was talking about Firestar and then I thought..."Wait..that can't be right! If Firestar dies then the series would end!." And then I got a letter from author tracker saying Erin is writing a book called 'Firestar's Quest' coming out Fall 2007.
And when I found out that the former medicine cat dies (find out for yourself =D)at the end, I was really crying lol. =(

I also frowned at one part in the book when Cloudtail was training Daisy. When Cloudtail asked her to fight him, she said she didn't want to hurt him. And he said you can't say that to an enemy in battle. I have to say Daisy is a peaceful cat and Cloudtail shouldn't try to turn her into some cat she's not, espically a peaceful cat for goodness sake! She's actually the only cat with sense in the whole warriors series! Trying to being peace to the clans not bloodshed!
I also agree with one of our reviewers that there should have been more romance in this volume. There was surely more romance between Firestar and Sandstorm but between Leafpool and Crowfeather, there was really only romance when they weren't together.

Overall, I truly reccomend this to any cat lover and hope the series goes on and Erin you rock! =D
