Warriors (also known as Warrior Cats) is a novel series about the adventures and drama of multiple Clans of feral cats. Warriors is published by HarperCollins and written by a team collectively known as Erin Hunter. The concept of the series was developed by Victoria Holmes, who wrote the storylines until her retirement in 2017.

There are currently nine sub-series ("arcs"), each containing six books: The Prophecies Begin, The New Prophecy, Power of Three, Omen of the Stars, Dawn of the Clans, A Vision of Shadows, The Broken Code, A Starless Clan, and Changing Skies. In addition to the main series, lengthier "Super Edition" novels, several novella trilogies, guide books, several volumes of original English-language manga, and graphic novels have been published. A website, a mobile app, and an official Roblox game also exist.

Warriors has received praise from reviewers, for example for its immersive world, but also criticism, for example for its large number of characters. The novels have a variety of themes, from politics to religion and economics. Warriors has been translated into 38 languages,[1] and has sold over 80 million copies worldwide.[2]

Background

Origins and Erin Hunter

In 2001, publisher HarperCollins asked editor Victoria Holmes to write a fantasy novel about cats. Holmes did not like cats, so she enlisted the help of Kate Cary, who "loved cats".[3] Cary wrote the first two volumes of the original series, Into the Wild and Fire and Ice.[4] For the third book, Holmes had to "speed up" to maintain the publishing schedule.[3] Cherith Baldry joined the team and wrote the third volume, Forest of Secrets.[4] Cary wrote the fourth book, then Baldry wrote books five and six.[4] Meanwhile, Holmes came up with "the detailed storyline and the characters",[3] as well as editing the finished books to "keep continuity".[4] When Holmes finished creating a storyline, Tui T. Sutherland assisted in editing until both agreed on the storyline, and it could be sent to Cary and Baldry to write the final book.[5] Then, the book would be published under the pen name Erin Hunter.[3] Following a cancer diagnosis in 2017, Holmes stepped back from her involvement with the Erin Hunter team.[6] After 21 years, Cary left the Erin Hunter team to focus on "other projects".[7] The more recent books' storylines are written by five editors.[8]

Inspiration

A forest with trees, grass, and water
New Forest, which became the base for the forest the cats live in

The authors have named several other authors as sources of inspiration when writing the novels. In an interview, Baldry stated that the writers who influenced her the most are Tolkien, C. S. Lewis, and Ursula K. Le Guin.[4] According to the official website, other authors who have inspired the writers include Enid Blyton, Lucy Daniels, Ellis Peters, Tess Gerritsen, Kate Ellis, Lisa Gardiner, and Meg Cabot.[9]

Holmes has cited the New Forest in southern England as inspiration for the forest where the first arc takes place, as it has a variety of different environments.[10][11] She also cited the films First Blood and The Avengers as a source of inspiration.[12]

Setting and universe

Further information: List of Warriors characters

The Warriors universe centers around feral cats who initially reside in a forest,[13]: 131–132  and later, around a lake. The cats are split into five groups called Clans: ThunderClan, WindClan, RiverClan, ShadowClan, and SkyClan. Each Clan has adapted to its own terrain, and some are named after their specialized abilities.[13]: 132  Relationships between different Clans are usually tense, and the Clans often come into conflict with one another. However, the Clans also sometimes show concern for each other; the idea of one Clan being destroyed usually causes deep distress and prompts urgent action on behalf of all Clans. The Clans have a unique naming and hierarchy system, in that their names are determined by their rank in the Clan.[13]: 131–132 

The Clan cats have a faith system based on the concept of StarClan, a group of the spirits of the Clans' deceased ancestors, who provide prophetic guidance to the living Clan cats.[13]: 132  After death, the spirits of most Clan cats join StarClan and reside in a paradisaical forest similar to Heaven. In addition to StarClan, there exists the Dark Forest, also known as the Place of No Stars, which takes the form of a never-ending forest, similar to Hell. The spirits of cats who caused great pain and suffering to others while alive reside there as a form of punishment.

Cats who live outside of the Clans are categorized into three groups: housecats, who are called "kittypets" by Clan cats[14][15] and generally do not pose a threat;[13]: 138  loners, stray cats who live outside of the Clan territories and who sometimes assist the Clans;[13]: 138  and rogues, who may live alone or in groups, and may intend to cause harm to the Clans.[13]: 138

Reception

Critical reception

The first book of the series, Into the Wild, was generally well-received, with Booklist calling it "spine-tingling",[114] Sally Estes of the American Library Association calling it "thoroughly engrossing",[115] and Publishers Weekly calling it an "exciting ... action-packed adventure".[116] Mary Alpert of School Library Journal praised the authors for "creating an intriguing world ... and an engaging young hero".[117] Janice M. Del Negro, writing for The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, criticized the characters and imagined world as being "neither ... consistent nor compelling".[118] Cindy Welch, writing for Booklist, stated about Rising Storm that "Hunter once again tells a good, suspenseful adventure story", and "teens may find their own journey toward adulthood echoed in the protagonist's struggles and self-doubts".[119]

The manga has also earned praise: a reviewer for Children's Bookwatch noted that Into the Woods "ends on a tense cliffhanger, leaving the reader in anxious anticipation for more... Into the Woods... is especially recommended for cat lovers everywhere."[120] Its sequel, Escape from the Forest, was also well reviewed: a reviewer for Publishers Weekly believed that girls would benefit from reading about Sasha leaving the powerful Tigerstar due to his "growing violence". The art was also praised, with the reviewer writing that "Hudson's artwork brings Sasha's emotional journey to life, showing each moment of fear, anxiety, contentment, and joy. The cat's-eye perspective of many of the panels, in addition, add a dramatic, energizing element to the book." The reviewer also wrote that "a twist at the end will leave fans eager for the next installment of Sasha's saga", and that the book would appeal to young adults trying to find their place in the world.[121] Lisa Goldstein writing for School Library Journal also gave the book a positive review, writing that the plot would attract new fans and appeal to old fans. Goldstein also wrote that "though the cover claims that this is a 'manga,' the straightforward illustrations are drawn in a simple, realistic style."[122]

The large number of characters involved in the series has often been seen as a negative point; though one reviewer compared the "huge cast" to that of a Greek drama,[123] others wrote that it was "hard to follow",[124] and "a little confusing".[117] The characters have also been criticized as being "somewhat flat"[124] and "limited essentially to each individual's function within the Clan".[118]

Booklist stated that the cats in the series are "true to their feline nature";[114] Kirkus Reviews commented that the books will "leave readers eyeing Puss a bit nervously",[125] and wondering "what dreams of grandeur may haunt the family cat".[116] However, this realism also means that the series contains a relatively large amount of violence,[117] with Sharon Rawlings writing for School Library Journal stating that it is "not for the faint of heart".[123] Several critics have compared Warriors to Brian Jacques' Redwall series,[114][118] though Alpert commented that it was "not as elegantly written".[117] The New York Times called the series a "hit with young readers", specifically because of its "sprawling universe",[126] and the series appeared on the New York Times Best Seller list for a total of 119 weeks, as of 23 November 2014.[127]

The graphic novel adaptations of The Prophecies Begin have received both praise and criticism from Kirkus Reviews. A review of Volume 1 wrote that the "vivid colors, dramatic action sequences, and appealingly expressive feline faces will grab readers' attention".[128] A review of Volume 2 criticised the difficulty of visually recognising characters, "particularly since the illustrators admit to adding a few extras".[129] A review of Volume 3 noted that "the visual format suits the violent, dramatic storyline".[130]

Awards and recognitions

Into the Wild was nominated for the Pacific Northwest Library Association's 2006 Young Reader's Choice Awards, but lost to Christopher Paolini's Eragon.[131][132] It was also listed on Booklist's Top 10 fantasy books for youth in 2003[133] and was a Book Sense 76 Pick.[17] The Sight was nominated for the best Middle Readers book in Amazon's Best Books of the Year (2007) and placed sixth out of the ten nominees, with six percent of the total votes.[134] It was also nominated for the Children's Choice Book Awards.[135] In 2006, Warriors also received an honourable mention for the best book series for Publishers Weekly's "On the Cuff" awards.[136]

Cultural impact

Abby Hargreaves of Book Riot wrote that Warriors could be "the Redwall of the next generation" and is also comparable to The Chronicles of Narnia.[24] One of the authors behind Erin Hunter, Tui T. Sutherland, went on to write Wings of Fire, a similar book series about dragons.[24] Warriors has a notably large fanbase on the social media platform YouTube, with fans posting animations based on the series as early as 2007.[137] In a 2010 interview, Holmes stated that there is "a lot of role playing" online, and readers "create their own characters that interact with each other online in role-playing games".[3] Scratch users create Warriors-inspired video games, such as character designing games and adventure games.[138] The 2017 video game Cattails "takes some inspiration" from a fan-made Warriors game, according to lead developer Tyler Thompson.[139]

Themes

When Holmes wrote the storyline, she included themes such as "death, religion, politics, betrayal, doomed romance, [and] prejudice".[3]

A reviewer for Publishers Weekly noted that friendship and responsibility are taught to characters in the novels,[116] while another reviewer pointed out the idea that, just as Clan cats shun house cats for their soft life, people should realize that it is necessary to experience hardship in life.[140] A Storysnoops reviewer noted that a theme enforced in Warriors is that "it doesn't matter where you come from, only who you are inside".[141] Charlotte Ahlin writing for Bustle stated that Warriors are "wildly complex novels filled with political intrigue, religious warfare, forbidden love, and violent cat death",[142] also calling it a "multi-layer epic".[143] Resilience is a theme often presented in the novels, as the Clans help each other when necessary, such as in Dawn.[144] Katelynn Gilbert wrote that Warriors "explores themes of political and regional economics",[13]: 131  such as when ThunderClan help return WindClan to their forest home, resulting in a political alliance.[13]: 140  Territory is presented through "human and animalistic concepts".[13]: 135  Thus, loyalty to the Clan is also a theme.[13]: 137  Sarah Fimm, writing for The Mary Sue, stated that Warriors has themes like "complex political strife".[145] She also wrote that Warriors are "[t]ales of intrigue [...] and deep feline spirituality".[145] Other themes include "nature vs. nurture",[13]: 144–146  and "caring and community".[146] A review by Kirkus Reviews noted that Exile from ShadowClan makes readers "ponder larger questions about violence, power, codes of law, community values, metaphysics, and individuals finding their niches".[88]

Publication history

All of the Warriors books except for the manga (excluding all manga published from A Shadow in RiverClan onwards) have been published as hardcovers, and the majority of them have also been published as paperbacks, audiobooks, and e-books. The New Prophecy's audiobooks are spoken by Nanette Savard,[147] whose performance has been praised by reviewers. A reviewer for AudioFile wrote: "Nanette Savard brings out the youth of the cats who are struggling to help their clan survive and to protect each other from outside danger".[148] Kirkus Reviews wrote that "[h]er dazzling variety of voices (and tonal variety within voices) astonishes".[149] The Omen of the Stars audiobooks are spoken by voice actress Veronica Taylor.[150]

Foreign editions

Warriors has been translated into 38 languages.[1] The first arc has been published in Italy and Latin America,[151] the first eight arcs in Germany,[152] and the first four arcs in the Netherlands.[153] Several arcs have been published in Poland as well.[154]

Other media

Website

The Warriors website previously featured Warriors screensavers, videos on topics such as the process of writing a manga book, and quizzes.[155][156][157] In addition, there were browser-based games including the The New Prophecy Quest and the Warriors Adventure Game.[158] An online game for the website was planned for release in 2010 but was never released.[159] The website was later redesigned and is now accessible via both web browsers and an official mobile application. Two new games,[160] several character profiles, and an updated version of the family tree have been added more recently.[161]

Film

On 20 October 2016, Victoria Holmes announced that Alibaba Pictures had bought the production rights for a film adaptation. With David Heyman as producer, it was set to be a "live-action film with computer-generated characters", similar to Paddington.[162] On 14 May 2018, it was announced that STX Entertainment had come on board to co-produce the Warriors film, with STX board member Gigi Pritzker working alongside Heyman. It was also announced that screenwriters Jonathan Aibel and Glenn Berger would write the screenplay for the movie.[163][164]

On 25 January 2024, Coolabi Group, which Working Partners is a part of, announced that a deal had been signed with Tencent Video to create an "animation" of Warriors.[1][165]

Short stories

The first short story published is "Spottedleaf's Honest Answer".[166] On 20 January 2009, another short story, "The Clans Decide", was released on the Warriors Ultimate Leader Election site, starring Firestar, who won an election through an online fan vote conducted in recognition of US President Obama's Inauguration Day.[167] Two short stories, "After Sunset: The Right Choice?" and "The Elders' Concern", were previously available through the defunct Warriors mobile application.[168] In 2009, an educator's guide was released.[169]

Plays

Written by Victoria Holmes for a tour, a play titled After Sunset: We Need to Talk was first premiered on 28 April 2007 at the Secret Garden bookstore in Seattle, Washington, United States. It details a meeting between Leafpool of ThunderClan and Crowfeather of WindClan after the events of Sunset. The script was released to the public on the old official site for the Warriors series.[170]

During a fundraising event in Russellville, Arkansas, Brightspirit's Mercy was performed by various high school drama students. The second of two plays by Erin Hunter, Brightspirit's Mercy is about Jaypaw, Lionblaze, and Hollyleaf. In the play, the characters go to a Gathering where it is obvious all of the Clans except for ThunderClan are starving. Three cats from StarClan appear to them: Brightspirit and her parents, Shiningheart and Braveheart, who were created in memory of a 10-year-old Warriors fan, Emmy Grace Cherry, and her parents, Dana and Jimmy, all three of whom were killed in a tornado in February 2007.[171] They tell the three young cats that they must help feed the other Clans.[172]

Physical media

In the Chinese translation of the series, "3-D trading cards" are packaged in each book. The 3-D effect is produced using stereoscopic lenticular printing. These cards feature pictures of various characters, their Chinese and English names, and biographical information.[173] In January 2019, when the official Warrior Cats Hub app was launched, several pieces of official, licensed merchandise were released.[174]

Mobile application

On 30 June 2011, an official iOS application and Android application was released on the iTunes App Store[168] and Google Play Store. It contained a multitude of information about the books, characters, and settings, as well as two exclusive short stories, a trivia game, and a list of all the Warriors books that had been released at that point. The app was eventually removed from the App Store. In January 2019, an updated Warriors app was released, called Warrior Cats Hub.[174][175]

Video games

An official roleplaying Roblox video game was released on 7 May 2021, under the pillar of Coolabi Group's digital business, called Warrior Cats: Ultimate Edition.[176] It has since become one of the highest-ranking branded games on the platform, and was noted at number two on the list of Top 10 Roblox Brand Games in July 2023, having been played more than 430 million times.[177][178] As of January 2026, the game has been played over 675 million times.[179] A sequel to the Roblox game, Warrior Cats: Lake Territory, was announced on 27 August 2024, and will be made available for a limited public playtest on 14 March 2026.[180]
