Hello!
Iâm Quietercat, a blogger who just likes to draw and talk about Warrior cats.
Age: 18
Iâve been into Warrior cats for as long as I can remember. Although these crazy cat books have questionable writing quality, I still hold the series very near and dear to me.
This blog will likely have a lot of self indulgent content about Warrior Cats, and especially about the characters I specifically like in the series, so please be warned about that. My opinions are also very subjective, and catered towards my personal preferences.
I also tend to rant about the POTENTIAL of characters, arcs, scenes, themes, just about anything in the series I feel like deserved so much more.
Hereâs some basic opinions through the wonderful use of tier lists I have of the series to give you some frame of reference. Iâll give some brief explanations on my overall rankings.
Hereâs my ranking for the wonderful cats.
Yup! Blackstar is my favorite character.
The âgreatest potentialâ category, is my way of saying i absolutely love the character, but i feel like they deserved so much more out of the story. These guys are in no particular order, so donât think I prefer Brambleclaw over Squirrelstar. Blackstar is the only one that i genuinely ranked as first. You can expect that I will absolutely rant about these characters because I love them so much. Other cats I would include but couldnât find are Hawkfrost, Darktail, Berryheart and Nightstar.
The âvery funâ category is for cats that I think served their purpose well in the story and were overall fun to read about. I wouldnât change much about these cats or rant about their potential.
The âmildly funâ category is like the category just above, but to a lesser degree. I may actually talk more about these cats than the cats from the âvery funâ category though.
The âwho invited theseâŠâ category is my way of saying I wasnât particularly thrilled or fond of these characters or their role in the story. Before people start with the âbut some are meant to be evil and dislikedâ I just want to say, yes, yes some are meant to be that way, but these villains in particular werenât all that fun to read about, or compelling like I would expect from other villains in fiction I find interesting to read about.
The âshouldnât have existedâ category is my personal bias towards how the characters impacted the story. (Notice how most of the characters on that tier are from A Vision of Shadows). It doesnât necessarily mean I want them to be omitted from the Warrior Cats world completely, itâs just a way for me to say I didnât appreciate their contribution to the story. If they were written in a more meaningful way (at least to me! Iâm not saying they arenât meaningful at all) I think I would have appreciated them more.
Now for arcs.
I will always grieve the potential of Power of Three and Omen of The Stars.
I loved the Prophecies Begin, thatâs the OG after all.
A Starless Clan was a premise I was finding myself liking a bit, but it wasnât too special or anything.
I wished I enjoyed The New Prophecy and A Starless Clan. Those arcs held a lot of potential, but they werenât all that compelling.
I disliked A Broken Code and feel like it failed at more things than it succeeded at.
A Vision of ShadowsâŠ. Thereâs a lot that I find wrong with that arc in particular, at one point this arc almost made me drop Warrior Cats all together. Letâs just say I have some major issues with its characters, premise, and narrative. It had some good moments, but the bad moments outweigh the good ones. I know that AVOS is vital to the rest of the Warrior Cats series from then on, but I cannot in any good conscience accept that arc for what it was.
Maybe one day Iâll get into Dawn of the Clans!
Now getting into my personal favorite books in Warriors! The super editions!
To me, Tallstarâs Revenge, Crowfeatherâs Trial, and Yellowfangâs Secret were the most interesting and memorable to read. They are admittedly NOT the best, but the potential they held to be something amazing was what made me like them so much.
I enjoyed Bluestarâs Prophecy and Crookedstarâs promise, I wouldnât change much about them either, they were pretty fun reads. Hawkstarâs Journey was surprisingly a fun read for me, despite the arc it was in (AVOS cough cough). I loved his story way more than I thought I would.
Firestarâs Journey was ok, so was Bramblestarâs Storm. Leopardstarâs Honor actually held a lot of potential, so I should have included her in the greatest potential category, but for what the book was, I think it actually did an ok job at her character. I might change her SE ranking later on though.
Squirrelflightâs Hope was not a good experience. I absolutely loved seeing Squirrelflight shine as a POV character, and some of the Starclan moments were nice, but other than that, she and Leafpool deserved a better narrative. Same with Mothflightâs Vision, poor girl deserved better.
Onestarâs Confession did not need to exist, it absolutely did not. I genuinely wanted to understand his motives for why he did what he did, but that book killed all interest immediately. As for Tigerheartâs Shadow, it was an AVOS Super Edition, and I did not appreciate Tigerheartâs character all that much. To me, he was not meaningful in any way whatsoever throughout the entirety of that book.
And lastly, the Novellas.
Blackstar, Blackstar, BlackstarâŠ. You deserved so much better than what you got from that Novella. I considered putting his book in the âshouldnât have existedâ category, but I couldnât bring myself to do such a thing to my favorite character. My thankful we got some solo content of himâŠ. But his content was admittedly the worst of any character if Iâm going to be honest. Mothwingâs book had so much potential, and it actually had some good moments! I wish they expanded on her more. Goosefeatherâs curse was a very intriguing read. Hollyleafâs Story added some more MUCH needed depth to her character that I appreciated. Tawnypeltâs Novella deserved more, but I enjoyed it. Pinestar interested me a whole lot because of how much his character directly clashes with clan society, his story genuinely felt refreshing to read (admittedly there were some issues though). Redtail, heh, Deadtail. Not funny, I know, I just had to say it.
Ravenpaw has always been a great character to hear from, his novella made me emotional. I had so much fun reading Daisyâs Novella, I love her character. Shadowstar was actually fun to hear from.
I wonât dive too much into the âmildly fun sectionâ since I donât have a whole lot of opinions on those characters if Iâm being honest.
Cloudstarâs Journey and Mistystarâs Omen felt so off putting to me, I might explore those more later on. Leafpoolâs Wish was an alright read, but Iâm kinda bordering on if that book was even necessary at all, or if I just didnât like it.
Spotfurâs book was unnecessary because it was 90% recap, 10% actual meaningful content of her. Sorry. Spottedleafâs heart, whatâs that? Never head of it? How did an imaginary title get on here? Thatâs so silly. I donât particularly like Tree, his story was kinda interesting, but more so meaningless.
Thereâs my intro, I am pleased to meet you all.
