A review by cloversplatt
The First Battle by Erin Hunter

3.0

This book was just stock full of gratuitous violence. The amount of death that occurred, and how poorly written the fight scenes were, you almost couldn’t feel bad that these characters – most if not all who were fleshed out well – died. While all those characters will be missed, it was disappointing to have them end in such a way. Although, the mass grave that was dug does give some great meaning and lore behind the rest of the series. Other than the battle deaths, this book was everything I enjoy about this series. The characters are beautifully written and rounded, but I really don’t like Clear Sky though… even if he is “reformed.”
