About this listen
The launch of a brand-new arc in Erin Hunter’s #1 bestselling Warriors series find the Clans navigating an ominous prophecy that foreshadows the destruction of the Moonpool, and the end of the Cats' connection to StarClan.
As Leafbare approaches, a new danger threatens the Clans. Twoleg construction has encroached on Clan territory, poisoning the stream and making prey especially scarce for SkyClan. Meanwhile, their leader, Leafstar, is struggling with a loss of vision while trying to maintain authority over a Clan that increasingly doubts her ability to lead.
In ShadowClan, Tawnypelt senses peril as the Twoleg construction threatens the Moonpool, but she can’t get any cat, especially her son, TigerStar, to listen. Frustrated with the younger cats who don't respect her, she decides to take matters into her own paws.
In the midst of the chaos, Moonpaw, an apprentice struggling to understand the mysterious voice in her head, thinks that she might be having visions. But the voice becomes increasingly sinister, and Moonpaw wonders if it's a sign of darkness on the horizon.

new narrator needs to put in more work on the character voices listen to the previous books to get an idea on how they sound
the new narrator.... I don't want to hate but please have the narrator listen to the old voices of the characters when MacLeod Andrews narrated so she can actually sound like the characters within the first few chapters you can see a difference especially with jayfeather and squirrelstar

What stood out the most was definitely Moonpaw
I dislike that leafstar stepped down I think she would’ve still made a great leader. And I really think. Moonpaw would’ve made a great medicine cat

Great story. Not the best narrator
Great story. Love bringing back some of the older characters as well as learning about the newer ones! I did not find the performance to be top par. A lot of cat voices sounded similar, not as emotional, and there was inconsistency in the sound quality.

Good setup to major plot development
This story is leading up to multiple MAJOR plot points. I won’t give spoilers, but something terrible is happening and all the Elders seem to be reminiscing about the Great Journey… for some reason! The last few chapters were pretty wild and I can’t wait for the next book!
Most of these reviews will talk about the narrator, and I agree that we will all miss MacLeod Andrews (Star was his last Warriors book). I wish the narrator didn’t make random pauses (it seems like where there’s a page break or a word broken up by the line) and would keep a consistent volume and provide different voices between each character so we can distinguish the difference when we don’t have the books in front of us. However, I do like having a female narrator because all of our POVs this book are female and I think she does them justice.

Good story, not a fan of the narrator.
I feel bad saying this but I really wish they’d stop using this narrator. I’m sure she’d be good for other books but maybe not character based ones.
The other narrator that usually reads is far more expressive and gives life to the characters in a way that makes it far more enjoyable like you’re listening to an audio drama. Several times it sounded like she should have done another take because you can hear her hesitate or mumble words. Action scenes were read with all the enthusiasm of a rock so that was disappointing. As for the story itself it was pretty good! Looking forward to the next one.

Great Narrator, Great Story, Bad Production.
I think the narrator herself is great, I loved a lot of individual line deliveries. However, there were many instances that should've had a second take, and there should have been better editing. I think they skimped out by rushing the recording and not doing any quality assurance with it.

poor narrating
I love the warrior cats series, have been reading it for years, and listening to it for the past year. I enjoyed the other narrator from the start, but I can not enjoy this one. she's to quick, to monotone for some cats, and makes it seem like she does it because she doesn't like those cats. to many cats sound the same and so lacking of life. please bring back the other one.

I almost don't want to finish...
I'm glad I'm not the only one with the dislike for this narrator. Sometimes the words sound like they can't get out of her mouth fast enough. There are also lots of choppy and awkward phrasings.
I almost don't want to finish listening, but I love the stories (even though my own daughters have "outgrown" them). Will MacLeod Andrews be back? His is the best narration in my opinion.
