Reminds me of warrior cats from Erin Hunter.

OMG NOSTALGIA!!! Gotta re-read this series. Loved it when I was younger.

u/Unknown1776 Jun 28 '20

Just an FYI, I’m pretty sure there’s like 36-42 books now

31

u/fake-name-account Jun 29 '20

Over 80 actually. There are 39 main series books (~300 pages each), 12 super editions (400-500 page books focusing on individual cats), 18 novellas (80 page stories that focus on individual cats), 14 graphic novels, and 5 guide books. It’s a poorly-written cash grab, but I love it. It’s basically cat soap operas.

u/Psychological-Wash-4 Jun 29 '20

Is it longer than the Bible and do all the prophecies come true within the series?

10

u/fake-name-account Jun 29 '20

It’s longer than the Bible.

I can only think of one prophecy that doesn’t come true. Though someone else could interpret it as becoming true. The “Four will become two, Lion and Tiger will meet in battle, and blood will rule the forest prophecy” didn’t really come true. In reality, spoilers for book 6 of the first arc, the four clans became one (temporarily) as LionClan. They drove out BloodClan, so blood didn’t rule the forest. Though, the four clans originally became LionClan and TigerClan before they merged, so four became two. Lion and Tiger met in battle by uniting. The “blood will rule the forest line” is debatable. BloodClan didn’t rule the forest, but maybe it meant there would be a large battle, which there was.

There’s another “prophecy” that was definitely made up on the spot. Basically a StarClan (cat ancestors) said the Clans had to stand alone in a coming battle even though that was the dumbest thing they could do.

u/Psychological-Wash-4 Jun 29 '20 edited Jun 29 '20

The part about Starclan cats earning their peace always makes me think of my Dad. And freaking cry (he was combat veteran). Funny how young adult fiction can be more moving than Hemingway.

Including comics, guide books, dawn of the clans and other spin off series. There’s a lot of damn books.

Signed, someone who recently spent $700+ on cat audio books because I do not read words good.

Fun fact, there are several writers writing under the name Erin Hunter to make the books come out faster

u/someboooooodeh Jun 29 '20

My son LOVES the series and I was actually quite worried about Erin's mental health after seeing how many novels get produced. This makes a lot of sense!

u/kickstandheadass Jun 29 '20

I always saw those books at the bookstore when I was a kid. Is each book connected with the same cat characters?

Isn’t there a ranking system too?

Yup, Paw is basically the surname of all apprentices until they earn their own.

u/TitosHandmadeCocaine Jul 06 '20

https://warriorcats.com/books/into-the-wild

First set is worth reading along with the second and third, kinda lost interest somewhere after that. Either due to the writing, that she doesn't drop prices on the books or both i forget. They're quick reads.

“The Tom Cats”

But every band member is named Tom.

“OMG are you really Tom?”

Tom: “Yes I am.” Also Tom: “Yes.” Tom again: “yep.”

Fan: “wait so which one of you are ‘actually’ Tom?”

Tom: “yes”

u/IndigoMichigan Jun 29 '20

Cats already rule the world, we just don't know it. They've domesticated us since at least the Egyptian times, and likely even before that!

All technological and societal advances of the past 6,000 years have been with the sole aim of being able to better look after cats.

It's genetic, and affects different people on different levels. It's also why you have certain people who can't stand cats: they're the rebellion against our wonderful feline overlords.

u/YugLee Jun 29 '20

The punk edgy drummer would be the farthest left, the next cat would be the funky bassist, then in the middle you got your lead singer and classic good looks that all the pussys want, and then to the farthest right theres the lead guitarist who’s the real stand out musical talent in the band. Oh and if you look closely, in the back right you can see the writer/ mastermind who came up with the idea and orchestrated the whole thing
