A review by herbivorehaunts
The First Battle by Erin Hunter

adventurous emotional tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Plot
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

Standard fare for Warriors, overall pretty solid although a couple of things make this book stand out in a bad way:
- There’s a fatphobic remark that is pretty awful to have in a childrens book, definitely not needed, and
- the fridging in this series is getting ridiculous. Grey Wing has fallen in love with 3 she-cats and

they all die just to further the plot

which isn’t great.
