But it’s a thrilling conclusion to the beloved Warriors series! I know that not everyone is or will be a fan, seeing as these books are middle grade and about cats - but I will forever love them. + I didn’t review this book right after finishing it, so I don’t have much to say besides these random, overall thoughts. + It’s just non-stop action! Which is pretty great considering the major lull that was book 4 and a little bit of 5, although book 5, A Dangerous Path, did pick up greatly, but was mostly plotting rather than non-stop action. Firestar’s awesome, so is Cinderpelt, and Sandstorm, and Graystripe, and Cloudtail, and Whitestorm, and all my favorite characters! It’s great to see such a big ensemble cast. + Almost every cat in ThunderClan gets mentioned, and quite a lot of cats from the other clans pop up, too. + The Darkest Hour is basically all preparation for and then a giant battle, and it pulls off this whirlwind setup well. Yup, the Erins throw everything they have into this finale, which might be the darkest book of the series! + While Tigerstar is the series‘ main villain, wait until you meet Sourge, this book’s main villain. + What’s it about? Taking on Tigerstar head on and fulfilling that damn prophecy from book 1. + Epic conclusion to the original Warriors series!
