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!

Really great adaptation to a graphic novel. The illustrations of the different cats are distinct and very expressive. They cut out some stuff, but the story works and feels more streamlined. Excited for the next installment!

AMAZINGGGGGG....
It was nice to be back in this world, but through the lens of a graphic novel. It generated my energy to get back into the series and continue. I am always shocked by how wrapped up I can get into this series especially because I'm not the intended audience. The artwork was great and while it isn't a perfect adaptation, it does encompass the intention of the story as a whole. I cannot recommend this graphic novel or the series enough.

it covers the first two books in the series. i think this is a great way to please old readers and invite new readers to join the warriors world. i was happy that it kept the drama, blood shed, war, and strife despite its comic book adaptation! i can’t wait to read the next :)
