Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Firestar's three grandchildren have learned of the powerful prophecy that foretells their destinies, and the responsibility of deciding the Clans' future weighs heavily on the three apprentices. But each secretly yearns for power: Lionpaw dreams of being undefeatable in battle, while Hollypaw longs to be a great leader and Jaypaw knows only he can see the true past and future for them all. Their strengths are tested when ThunderClan is suddenly attacked—and all four Clans are thrown into a battle unlike any the cats have ever seen.
Then a dark shadow falls across the forest, and a mysterious stranger warns the Clans of more trouble to come. For the very first time, it appears that StarClan does not hold the answers the cats need.
All of a sudden, the warrior code is being tested. A crisis of faith threatens to tear the four Clans apart and destroy what the cats have built their lives upon. . . .

The title says it all, Eclipse. That is basically what the book rides on. I was gravely dissapointed with Outcast, but Ecplise is not much better. (Warning, spoilers ahead) I am sad that the swimming thing with Cinderpaw and Jaypaw was to short. Basically it was this: Jaypaw: Hey, let's go swimming! Cinderpaw: ok. Then they go to the lake a swim. Leafpool: What the Starclan?! Cinderpaw: oh, jaypaw's just teaching me to swim. Leafpool: Oh, ok.
It was too short, and i don't like how when the sun dissapeared for less than a minute, everyone starts freaking out. Omg, Sol! you are so smart! how did you know the sun was going to dissapear? Newsflash: It came back!
I like a little of Lionpaw's (im not using warrior names.) toughness. I like the secrets part of it. though i am sad that Jaypaw told them about the prophecy. Lionpaw quickly gave up on it though.
Hollypaw i think has some issues, she seems to worry to much.
and lastly jaypaw (my fav character!) i am sad that he has lost his grumpiness. and he seems a little obsesive in dark river about the stick. he seems to obsess over many things, sol, the stick, the prophecy.
so in conclusion, i think that Ecplise could have been better.

This is the best book in the POT so far. I liked the earlier three to,but this is the best.
Spoiler Alert!! One of the best parts is the big battle. Shadowclan and Thunderclan team up to fight Windclan and Riverclan invaders. The battle is almost four chapters long.
In the middle of the book a mysterious cat comes to warn the clans that a darkness is coming that Starclan cant stop. It is not clear if he is good or bad yet.
Ithink that Lionblaze will be evil . He now hates Heatherpaw and he has dreams of killing Heatherpaw. He is starting to remind me of Anakin.
And as for what that reviewer who gave Eclipse three stars said,I think the books are going to be getting better not worse. It is a cool new idea about Starclan losing power. That means that Jaypaw and the other two can fufil the prophecy that was predicted in Firestars Quest.

The difference between the New Prophecy and the Power of Three series seems to be astoundingly different. All Warriors fans can say goobye to the cliches and predictable characters of the second series; the Erin Hunters have brought a spectacular new miniseries to light, and Eclipse is, by far, the best.
The biggest problem with The New Prophecy was that the characters were all complete stereotypes; Brambleclaw was a conflicted hero, Hawkfrost was a ruthless villain (a complete Tigerstar copycat), and Squirrelflight, the comic relief.I enjoyed the books, but the plots seemed a little too predictable.
The Power of Three series, especially this new book, have succeeded in bringing back the old Warriors the way they should be. This book is the most interesting yet, as Lionpaw begins to show echoes of his granfather, Tigerstar, Hollypaw questions Firestar's decisions to let loners and kittypets into ThunderClan, and Jaypaw wonders if StarClan have abandoned them all.
This book even has a fantastic battle which was nearly as awesome as the battle with BloodClan, and is also interwoven with fierce and exciting action sequences. Interwoven through these conflicts is a deep mysteriousness as every single Clan cat begins to question StarClan's power, some more willing to lose faith in their ancestors than others...
This is a wonderful and thrilling book that will have your fingers flying through the pages. With rich, developed characters, a mysterious plotline, and just enough of the Warriors action we love, Eclipse is one Warriors book you won't want to miss! Let's just hope Long Shadows continues the excitement.

The three grandkids of the great leader, Firestar, face thier biggest challenges yet. Burdened with the knowledge of power, the apprentices are plunged into emotional turmoil as an unexpected war rages around them. To make matters worse, Sol, a loner cat predicts the very near, very dark future. As one clans faith in StarClan weakens, no other cats know what to expect.
I love this book! It is the biggest event that has ever happened in Warrior history! It has the Warrior spirt in it that will leave readers NEEDING MORE.

~~~~All I can say is that I am deeply disappointed with this book.~~~~
The very first three books in PO3 were great, but this one... not so much.
First, let me say something.
Dapplewing, I must say as a side-point, if you're reading this than I am laughing my head off. I remember in your review with The Lost Warrior you stated you deep dislike for Millie and, "She'd just better not have kits with Graystripe," or something like that. Well, she went on ahead and did!
LoL!
The Clans are living through interesting times as ShadowClan begins to lose their faith in StarClan and a strange yet powerful newcomer named Sol comes to the Clans, warning them that the sun will disappear. Meanwhile, Lionpaw begins to show more signs of giving into, "the dark side", and has an interesting new meeting with Heatherpaw. Hollypaw finds Clan life suddenly hard and cold when Jaypaw revealed to her and Lionpaw the prophecy, and Jaypaw continues to find more secrets he wishes to understand yet are so thick and dark that even he seems to start losing faith...
Let me give a small spoiler here- six cats are named warriors. And I have to admit, Erin Hunter... or Firestar... or both... sure chose strange names. Lionpaw becomes Lionblaze, Hollypaw becomes Hollyleaf, Honeypaw becomes Honeyfern, Poppypaw becomes Poppyfrost, Cinderpaw FINALLY becomes Cinderheart :), and Willowpaw becomes Willowshine. Now, I know that these are all neat names, but they all seem too "alien" to the normal Clan names... like Rowanclaw, Dappletail, Mousefur... almost like a new age for the Clans. Perhaps this is because some names are repeated... like BrightHEART, FireHEART, CinderHEART. Or DappleTAIL, LongTAIL, SpeckleTAIL. Or even MouseFUR, BrackenFUR, StormFUR, StoneFUR, BlueFUR, SnowFUR, AshFUR, and so on. It seems like "Firestar" is just choosing names out of thin air. Like, Graystripe makes sense, but Honeyfern makes NO sense whatsoever. I do like Cinderheart, though. And in this book, for the very first time ever, all the cats of all the Clans are listed, unlike in the past when only the cats that appear in the story are listed. However, I dislike some... like Antpelt, Emberfoot, Dewspots, Kinkfur, Ratscar... are all too weird. I liked the normal Brokentail or Stonestream more. Also, one mistkae was that the book described Firestar snapping at Lionpaw, not Tigerstar, who it should have been.
I waited so long, and the book ended way too fast. I read the thing in seven hours FLAT. It is WAY too thin! I do love the picture on the cover, though.
As for this new thing with losing faith in StarClan? I feel like my brain's been ripped out. Losing StarClan is beyond strange and alien. The books can only go downhill from here. Dark times lead on from here- and strange books. Warriors is changing. And I don't think I like it.
I yearn for the good old times of Lionheart, Yellowfang, Fireheart, and Whitestorm in the very first series.
Yours truly,
