Oh my Starclan what a book. Haven't cried this much for any other book. One of my favourite warriors book ever. Totally recommend reading this one.

This one was all right. just ... all right. I honestly expected more from this ending of an arc because it had been built up for točolčpočpploopopwo series or twelve books.
Fire will save the clans coming back and Firestar being the fourth cat felt so underwhelming.
Hollyleaf's death was ... something I guess. I loved that she saved Ivypool but her death still felt wasted and underwhelming. So did the other cat's who died during the battle and after the battle. The entire final battle felt underwhelming. There were some parts that were interesting but then it just became boring, dull and repetitive. That being said, I am glad that Spottedleaf died and that whole arc was over. I am glad that Firestar didn't have to choose who his mate would be in StarClan even though I still loathe Spottedfire ship because they barely have any chemistry and they barely have any moments together yet she wants to have his kits and wishes she was his mate. I also loved that we finally got Tigerstar vs. Firestar and that Firestar wins instead of that weak and weird Scourge vs. Tigerstar we got in the first arc. That one felt so cheap because someone that was introduced in the last book killed the epic vilain, so Firestar finally killing Tigerstar for good was great to see and Firestar's death was sad but expected and good.
I am sad that we didn't get to see any battle happening in RiverClan camp, RiverClan seems largely forgotten once again aside from Mothwing being the only sensible medicine cat because she doesn't believe in StarClan.
Overall I felt that this book lacked something, I am not sure what it was missing but it was missing something and I expected more. I wish that we got more because it had so much potential especially after how great the rest of the books in this arc were but it just felt so underwhelming and disappointing. It was so close to being good though.

TLDR; Please read this series if you haven't already! I know I'm late to the game but it's so worth it. I'm someone that doesn't like endings and while I'm grieving these characters/this timeline being over, I'm also extremely grateful to have read Warriors in the first place.
What an incredible series! I wouldn't have picked Warriors up without my fiancées recommendation. I read the first book all the way back in 2014 then a few years ago we decided to do a buddy read. It took us a long time but we made it, and I can't believe it's over.
It would have had more of an impact on my life had I read this series as a child but I can say from an adult perspective, I enjoyed it immensely. I do miss the characters after living in their world for so long. I cried when certain characters died, truly mourned them as if they were real, while others I didn't care as muchAshfur for example, or any of the cats that were obviously the villain like Tigerstar .
The series has so many plotlines, characters, twists and turns that you don't expect (while some can be a little more predictable). I feel that this would be a good series for any child that has a love for animals, especially cats (the reason my fiancée started reading them in the first place), and it's honestly one of the best series I've read in my life. Every character and plotline feels like it's been tied up in a neat little package by the end.
I will say that I didn't expect the ending. I knew it had to end eventually and I thought I knew what would happen (I'm usually good at predicting) but just like the Erins have done countless times before, they threw me for a loop again. Days later, I'm still thinking about it. I know that I'll start the next series but it won't be the same group of cats and in a way, I'm still grieving that I've finished it.
Also I love a book with a map in the front; I'm a sucker for worldbuilding which this series does perfectly! Just for fun, here's a list of my favorite characters off the top of my head (which I'll spoiler in case you find this review and want to read from the beginning):Spottedleaf (my fave from the start), Cinderpelt, Feathertail, Jayfeather, Dovewing. My least favorite cats, the ones that mostly just got on my nerves but weren't necessarily bad characters/villains were Ivypool, Hollyleaf, Blossomfall, as well as Sandstorm and Dustpelt in the beginning of the series .
