Exiled From Cat-meow-lot
Sep. 24th, 2022 11:54 amAfter a discussion of Charith Baldry's role as ghostwriter for the Warrior Cats series took over arose in the comments of ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
osprey_archer's review of Baldry's "OTT tragic woobie fic" of an Arthurian retelling, Exiled From Camelot, I took one for the team and re-read a couple of the Warriors books: one by Baldry, and one by Kate Cary, one of the other writers who will continue publishing books under the collective pseudonym of Erin Hunter until, presumably, the heat death of the universe.
Confession: I 100% went into this expecting to write a fondly mocking Mystery Science Theater 3000 of a review, because as a concept, the Warriors series is nuts. It's Game of Thrones, about feral cats, for elementary schoolers. It's been published at a rate of 2-4 books a year for almost twenty years; it's apparently currently on its eighth sub-series. It has prophesies coming out of its furry little ears, and in sub-series #3, the protagonists have magic powers. It is COMPLETELY BONKERS and I absolutely devoured these books as a kid (approx. 4th-6th grade).
( That is not what I ended up with! )
