Erin Hunter

277 books10.7k followers
Erin Hunter is the pseudonym of five people: Kate Cary, Cherith Baldry, Tui T. Sutherland, Gillian Philip, and Inbali Iserles, as well as editor Victoria Holmes. Together, they write the Warriors series as well as the Seekers and Survivors series. Erin Hunter is working on a new series now called Bravelands.

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 astronomy and standing stones.

Four books into the series; and it still is a page-turner. I think of it as the kid's version of Game of Thrones. The brutality and deceits become more tolerable when they are set in cats. Despite the many characters there are, I was able to keep track of them all. The author is definitely mixing the right potions. On top of it, this is a shared experience with my son. The stories and characters in the books have helped me explain real life topics, which recently evolve around leaders and countries - not the easiest to explain in plain terms to a 9-yr-old - but when I give politicians cat names it becomes more relatable.

A nice read especially for cat-loving individuals. It offers detailed and intense moments, yet maintains a tone that is not reminiscent of a children's book, making it a good option for those looking for a relaxing read after a long day.

How does a book series manage to cover government affairs, loyalty, betrayal, love, healthy and unhealthy family dynamics, parenting, friendship, duty, honesty, and honor all through the eyes of cats? I don't even know but the Hunters are masters of it. I started reading the book series in Elementry school and almost 8 years later, I'm still in love with the series. The characters have so much depth, the plots are beautifully crafted, and the subtle lessons are impactful. The world-building alone is incredibly amazing. I have read almost every book and still love it as much as I did when I began if not more.

Never trust a fox. Looks like a dog, behaves like a cat.

First published way back in 2003, Into the Wild is part one of what equates to an episodic-esque set of novels by Erin Hunter called Warriors. I was pretty in love with these books as a kid, though as I got older I ended up getting rid of my copies only to purchase and return to the series as I near my 30s. And I have to say, I definitely have a nostalgic love for the orange kittypet turned Warrior. I have a stronger emotional attachment to this series than I ever realized.

Fire Will Save Our Clan

Kittypet Rusty's short life has consisted of a comfy home free of hardship. But it is also free of adventure and purpose. So, when he is presented with the opportunity to join the warrior clan cats of the forest, he takes it. Soon, he is given the name Firepaw and begins his journey to become a warrior. To do so, he must first prove to his new clan he is worthy of the life they have given him. With the help of his new friend, Greypaw, he will brave training, fierce battles, and the shadow of treachery that exists inside ThunderClan.

Soon he learns about the three other clans of the wild; River, Wind, and Shadow. Soon, Firepaw is making decisions that will shape not only his, but also the future of all clan cats. As the name Erin Hunter is a pseudonym for seven different authors throughout the series, Into the Wild was written by Kate Cary.

The World

What's interesting about these books is just how well the system of the world works. You very quickly find yourself understanding the ways of clan life and the systems by which they survive. For a middlegrade novel, this story is a bit more violent that you'd initially expect. Wounds and deaths are fairly commonplace throughout the book.

The overall themes are very mature, though not in a way that is inaccessible to young readers. And this continues to be true for the subsequent sequels. Important to note is that middlegraders who are easily upset by death, especially of animals, may struggle with this read. Looking back, I can say that overarching ideas made an impression on me. In general, though, the finer and darker details were a lot clearer this time around.

The series presents itself somewhat episodically, kind of existing in what presents to me as a season with six episodes. A lot of young reader books are like this, generally focusing on smaller plots that eventually lead to a grand finale.

Fire-

Firepaw is a fairly young cat, new to both clan life and the world in general. He has a lot to learn and shows this often with sometimes incredibly brash actions. Even so, he is thoroughly intelligent. It's easy to grow attached to the main characters, particularly Firepaw, Greypaw, and Ravenpaw. Even Bluestar and Lionheart, the clan leaders, evoke an emotional reaction. They sort of exist as caring authority figures, very reminiscent of mentors kids respect.

The focus of the first "episode" of Warriors centers around the evil deeds of one cat in particular, the monstrous Brokenstar. Clan leader for ShadowClan, this cat has dangerous ambitions that put all of the cats in the forest at risk. And while the cats of the forest focus their attention on him, Hunter expertly builds the series plot beneath the surface.

Firepaw's tale is impressively written. His journey is just beginning, with readers lucky to get a brilliant glimpse into his life and legacy. I had a lot of fun reading the books, as a child and even now. I'm certainly glad to have the novels back in my collection.

So here I go these books are not something I would normally read. However my 9 year old daughter had expressed interest in them and as I read to her every night before she goes to sleep I figured why not give it a try. I was pleasantly surprised at how well these books are written and how well the story flows. The authors are able to make you genuinely care for the characters and tear your heart out at certain points throughout the stories. We are currently beginning book #6 of The Prophecy Begins and we both sobbed like fools the end of book #5. I look forward to continuing on this journey with Fireheart and cannot recommend these books enough!

Read all of these, absolutely brilliant!
I love to draw and read them over and over and over, the topic, writing and characters are nailed and the action doesn't stop coming! It does get a bit calm or uninteresting sometimes but its still a great series you should definitely try!

Oh my gosh I can't think of much words to explain how much I love this series.
First of all, Warrior cats is the first series I've ever read, and reading the first book last year literally changed my reading mood set completely! So thank you so much!!

Pretty good, but some of the books seem to drag out certain things to fill more pages. Books 1-6 were good though.
