I have read Into the Wild and Fire and Ice many times before, but to be honest, I think this graphic novel did the job even better than the original books. I loved it having Princess in it from the beginning, loved how it handled important scenes, it's so amazing. I did miss some scenes that were left out, like the scene where Riverclan attacks Fireheart & Greyheart when they are crossing their territory during their return (though, as a person who draws, I know it would be hard to draw so I definitely get why it might've been left out, haha). Some parts might've been a bit too fast-paced, but not so much that it would be hard to read/understand what's happening.
The art style is awesome, cute and really fits the story. Designs are very realistic, yet still have that Warriors magic in them. Really liked this!

hard not to love this! It's more than just the first book of the first series which was a little weird (very fast paced lol) and because of that, it leaves a couple scenes out in order to help the pace. but still really good and opens up the main series to another type of audience. Also like it was hard to get with this art style at first only because I adored the original comic style when they came out with the graphic novels but I'll get used to it. I don't mind it for fireheart too much but holy COW they un-dilfed greystripe ;-;

Awesome! The art style is gorgeous and it's a delightful adaptation. Only thing I feel sad was omitted was the riverclan border skirmish from fire and ice but they can't keep everything!
I'm a Warriors fan, so unfortunately I can't separate it from the original book, so this review is basically a comparison.
A bunch of stuff from the second book was removed and honestly, I don't really care. The story clearly works fine without it.Fireheart and Graystripe making up after their fallout was way too soon though, I'm fairly certain they were fighting for far longer. Same goes for the Graystripe/Silverstream romance, but that's out of focus in the original as well, so idk
One important plot element that happens in Fire and Ice, but doesn't happen in the graphic novel I'm worried about though, because this means that the next graphic novel will have to include all of the following plot elements in a relatively short book:Cinderpaw is injured on the Thunderpath, becomes a medicine cat apprentice after losing hope of becoming a warrior, and becomes a full medicine cat in time for Yellowfang to die. That's a lot of development that has to happen for a character that won't be in full focus.
However, none of that is technically the responsibility of this book, so I'm only going to add criticism to this review if it turns out that the next one fumbles this plot because it wasn't set in motion in this one. Maybe it'll end up fine or even better, who knows.
Other than that, the story is fine, the art is great, and the character designs are phenomenal. Definitely check it out if you're a Warriors fan, but you could still enjoy it if you've never read another book in this series.

I have been reading the Warriors series with my 5yo son. He and I looooved the art and the adaptation of the first book. But book two being less than a third of this book was an injustice :( he and I were quite sad about what was missing. I hope most of it will be covered in the next one, we already have it on pre-order!
