All Warrior Cats Books, in Order

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~0~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hi! This is Alexis, and today I'll be talking you through the chronological order of the Warrior Cats series. If you want to get into Warrior Cats, you really have to understand the order of the books. It doesn't make any sense if you go helter-skelter randomly through books. The Warrior Cats series is divided into arcs of six books each. Currently, they are on the seventh arc and the third book.

Arc 1

The Prophecies Begin

Despite this arc not being the first in chronological order, it makes the most sense to begin there, as it introduces a vital main character and explains the ways and customs of Clan life for beginners to the series.

1. Into the Wild
2. Fire and Ice
3. Forest of Secrets
4. Rising Storm
5. A Dangerous Path
6. The Darkest Hour

Arc 2

The New Prophecy

Note: I'll be explaining the other novellas and where they take place in the series later, but in between the second series and the first, there is a super edition called Firestar's Quest. It's not vital that you read it but it would be recommended.  

1. Midnight
2. Moonrise
3. Dawn
4. Starlight
5. Twilight
6. Sunset

Arc 3

Power of Three

1. The Sight
2. Dark River
3. Outcast
4. Eclipse
5. Long Shadows
6. Sunrise

Arc 4

Omen of the Stars

1. The Fourth Apprentice
2. Fading Echoes
3. Night Whispers
4. Sign of the Moon
5. The Forgotten Warrior
6. The Last Hope

Arc 5

A Vision of Shadows

1. The Apprentice's Quest
2. Thunder and Shadow
3. Shattered Sky
4. Darkest Night
5. River of Fire 
6. Raging Storm

Arc 6

The Broken Code

Note: Before, I mentioned that the super edition Firestar's Quest is not essential to the flow of the books (although it helps very much). But the super edition Squirrelflight's Hope is essential to the series. I didn't realize this and read the series without reading Squirrelflight's Hope first and that was a mistake. 

1. Lost Stars
2. Silent Thaw
3. Veil of Shadows
4. Darkness Within (unreleased, will release on November 10, 2020)
5. The Place of No Stars (unreleased)
6. The Broken Code 6 (unreleased)

Bonus Arc

Dawn of the Clans

Dawn of the Clans is an origin series on the cats that started the Clans and how they came to their territories. It's not necessary but gives an interesting history with well-developed characters that is definitely worth a read.

1. The Sun Trail
2. Thunder Rising
3. The First Battle
4. The Blazing Star
5. A Forest Divided
6. Path of Stars

Non-Chronological Books

These books don't have a specific time in which they were written. They're mostly field guides and background books -- not necessary but very interesting. Some of them may contain some spoilers so read at your own risk if you decide to check these out. 

Field Guide 1: Secrets of the Clans
          This book contains background stories on characters, maps to territories, and other things that              you should be fine to read if you have read up to Power of Three: The Sight. 

Field Guide 2: Cats of the Clans
          This is not unlike the book before it: it contains background information and other unnecessary            information. Although the idea is good, the editing is quite bad so be prepared for some errors.            Do not read until you are up to Power of Three: The Sight.

Field Guide 3: Code of the Clans
          This book highlights the warrior code, an unspoken set of laws that dictate Clan life, and the                stories behind how it began and how it was formed. Do not read until you are up to Power of             Three: The Sight.

Field Guide 4: Battles of the Clans
          This book shows the different battle techniques the other Clans used in battle, as well as                      reoccurring battles and important fights in Clan history. Do not read unless you're up to Power            of Three: The Sight and have also read Firestar's Quest. 

Field Guide 5: Enter the Clans
          This book is basically Code of the Clans and Secrets of the Clans combined. 

Field Guide 6: The Ultimate Guide
          This book is a new and updated version of Cats of the Clans with current cats, changed artwork, and updated biographies. I'm not sure at what book you should be at to read this, but it's definitely past Power of Three: The Sight.

The Awful Truth About Mapleshade

The Truth About Mapleshade by Alexis Mapleshade by  This post contains spoilers for Mapleshade's Vengeance. Mapleshade is a character that sparks a lot of debate in the warrior cats community. Many people like her for the sole reason that she is a female villain (because there are hardly any of those) or because she's "relatable," even though saying you relate to her indicates that you think that murder is justified if it's in revenge. I even was a big Mapleshade fan until I realized what exactly was wrong with her character. The first point I want to make is that Mapleshade was never a good cat.  Most people love it when villains have a "turning point," or some sort of tragedy that happens to them that essentially "turns them" evil. Of course, Mapleshade went on her killing spree after her kit's death, but even before that, she was manipulative, possessive, and a compulsive liar.  The first time this is shown is
