I genuinely love Ravenpaw and Barley so much, they're so cute! You can really sympathize with Ravenpaw for falling for the rogues' tricks, and it was cute to see Crowkit!

It's fun to see the cats in manga form. This is the start of a three-book series that's perfect to read right after finishing The Prophecies Begin series of novels. It tells a story about Ravenpaw and Barley on the farm. The graphic novel format allows the story to be less intense than the novels, with more space for humor.

I had to drop this down from 5 stars because I didn't really think anything that important happened?
To be honest, I don't know why they made this trilogy in the first place. Even without reading the last two, I know that Ravenpaw will simply return to his status quo with Barley and things will just carry on... being the same. I guess this was made due to fan demand, but the whole thing is pretty pointless. Not to mention Ravenpaw and Barely won't become the couple we all deserve. They could have at least thought of a better story.
That being said, I LOVE Barry's artwork. The way he draws cats is so expressive in their movements, and it brought to life every page even though there was practically nothing going on. I do really like Ravenpaw's own self-conflict about who he is and where he really belongs, but its the same as Sasha's story on that behalf, and we can't just recycle things... come on?
I'm pleased I read it, but Ravenpaw is a sweet character that deserves a whole lot more than this.

This was a quick and fun read, giving a bit more lore for the series that the main one wouldn't have been able to cover that naturally. My main criticism is that the ending seemed abrupt (I know it's part of a series, but the ending for this individual part could've been a bit cleaner).

I do not usually read Manga, but my 10 year old nephew is currently obsessed with all things Warriors. On a recent visit to the library, he urged me to borrow it. Although he had moved on to the actual novels, this is the book that got him hooked. I can see why.
Especially for young readers, it has a classic story of the young hero who turns his back on the world, only to question that decision. If we are looking at archetypes, Ravenpaw has entered the classic "liminal space" where we go to heal, and grow, and learn about ourselves, before returning, reborn. This is the middle of his story. There is much more to come. (Which is great for young people to read, because, of course, they are in the middle of THEIR stories.)
Despite being in the middle of the story, I was not confused at all. I only wanted to read more because I was interested in the characters.
I recommend this to all readers, but especially for those grownups who have voracious young readers (or even reluctant readers) in their lives. It is fun and thoughtfully constructed.

Ravenpaw has and always will be one of my favorite cats from the books and it was really refreshing to see him and all the others in Manga form.

It's so good to see Ravenpaw and Barley again and I love this first book in the trilogy. It establishes the place and characters really well and it also shows some of the old Thunderclan clanmates visiting Ravenpaw in his dreams. I also loved seeing Ravenpaw with kits, he was so good with them and they were so adorable. I also love the newest villains in this story being formal Bloodclan cats.
