Best Warriors super edition in a while. This was a Warriors book that dealt a lot with "this is going to be a book where the bulk of it is the cats traveling" (those are my least favorite types of Warriors books...like Moonrise and The Apprentice's Quest where most of the book is just traveling...), but the amount of heart wrenching scenes in this one made up for it.

This is the first time in a long time where I have cried during a Warriors book. So many sad things happen to Hawkwing, and it was impossible to not feel terribly for SkyClan. They always get the short end of the stick, and things really get sad here. And descriptive! Some of the descriptions of death and fighting in this book brought back memories of the first series. I really think that the Erins are getting their old style back, and I am loving it. Some of the descriptions of deaths really made me cringe. I won't say who, but there were two deaths in particular that made me cringe and haunted my thoughts for a while. That hasn't happened since The Darkest Hour! I applaud the Erins in finally getting back to their old ways...I was starting to worry that Warriors was going downhill, but the more recent books have proved me wrong.

This super edition ties in heavily with the main series. It also ties in with the SkyClan manga series as well as the Ravenpaw one, so if you do not keep up with all of the books, you might get lost. Likewise, if you only read the main series but not Hawkwing's Journey, you will be super confused, because this book does reference a lot of the main series and answers some questions. I recommend this book to anyone who is continuing the Warriors series and is at the newest arc, Vision of Shadows. Or, if you are interested in what happens to SkyClan following SkyClan's Destiny and the manga, read this!
