The fourth book in the Warriors series. I'm rating this one on par with the third installment but for different reasons. Where the third one ties up some loose plot ends and developed characters in an interesting way, Rising Storm (the first part of the second half of the series) clearly throwing challenges and conflict at the clan members to overcome in the next two books and ends on an obvious, but massive, cliffhanger. There is A LOT going on, but I think younger readers would find that as exciting as I did, not confusing. However, as mentioned the introduction of challenges means that the themes tend towards the more emotionally difficult: conflict, isolation, mental illness shown through Bluestar , becoming homeless shown through the forest fire , kidnapping shown through Cloudpaw , betrayal, outcasting shown through the casting out of the sick shadow clan cats who asked help , lack of confidence, and death. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT MY YELLOWFANG HAS DIED. I WAS HEART BROKEN. Both she and Cinderpaw remain my favourites. Graystripe is still up there too.

I didn't really remember much of this book from when I'd first read it but now I know why. This is easily the weakest of the original series, with interactions with Cloudpaw driving the reader up the wall for the first third of the book. Woof, what a cliffhanger though.
