Science Fiction Fantasy Books

this is a good book to give your teenagers . to make them read more the rest of there lifes .

Legion is the first book in the Horus Heresy series that is not centered either on the perspective of a future Space Marine or current Space Marine. The story is told from the perspective of an Imperial Army detachment, created very similarly to the Space Marines.

Like most most reviewers have stated, this book does get off to a slow start, but that is only because this book introduces new terms that are specific to the this Imperial Army detachment. There isn't any straight forward explanation for the new terms, so the reader pretty much has to figure it out as they go. Dan Abnett does help the reader out along the way, just not immediately. Once the reader's got the terms' meanings down, there is nothing else hindering the reader's comprehension.

Legion has alot to do with duplicity as it does with straight forward action scenes. The action scenes are few and far between but the events between the battles will keep any reader coming back for more. I highly recommend this book for readers of the Horus Heresy series and for Warhammer 40k fans alike.

I agree with several reviewers who say the book starts out slowly. I had this book waiting for me when I returned from a tour overseas and immediately started reading, only to put it down about two chapters in. I admit that I was disappointed, as it was not a typical Dan Abnett story which normally begins with a quick and furious pace. I was intrigued by the setting- a desolate planet called Nurth, target of the 670th Expeditionary Fleet, led by Lord General Namatjira, a martinet whose success, like many weak but overly ambitious commanders, had been secured through the skill and blood of his subordinate units and their leadership.

I resolved to pick the book up a few days ago and give it another try, and it did not disappoint as the story went beyond what has become the norm for most of the Horus Heresy books: the descent of the Legiones Astartes into the depths of Chaos and their ultimate betrayal of the Emperor of Mankind.

Other reviewers have discussed the book's strengths and weaknesses effectively enough, so I will just say that despite the slow start, Abnett recovers well and finishes with a flourish. I must say that I did not see the ending coming, and the Alpha Legion's reasons for joining with Warmaster Horus Lupercal are the stuff of what Abnett's great writing and imagination brings to the series. He's does well with his depiction of the Imperial Guard units, and I think his work with the Gaunt's Ghosts series serves him well. I also found his take on the Alpha Legion interesting and compelling; they are one of the traitor legions that little is known about, but after reading this book, you'll have a greater perspective and depth of knowledge about the legion and its primarch, Alpharius (not to mention the neat twist Abnett throws in about the primarch that I won't spoil here).

While a good book for the series, I don't feel it is 5-star worthy, but is nonetheless a worthwhile read. I like it infinitely better than the previous book in the series, "Descent of Angels", but is not quite as good as Abnett's first book in the series "Horus Rising", or Ben Counter's "Galaxy In Flames."

Warhammer 40k can be a mixed bag, but you always know you are getting something worthwhile from Abnett. I have to give him a lot of credit for breaking the mold of the HH books with this one. The whole remembrancer concept was shaky to start with and was very well worn after a handful of books. I mean this is 40k, lets play to the strengths of the authors here...poetry and art are a bit out of scope. Abnet comes along and decides to give the outside view of the heresy from both the Imperial Army and a psycker spy. This basically blends Abnets' strengths from the Gaunt's Ghosts and Eisenhorn series and mixes them in with the Space Marines. Throw in the Alpha Legion and you have a very interesting story, and I really hope he revisits it for a sequel.

This is by far the best Horus Heresy novel to date. Aside from highlighting Dan Abnett's skills as a storyteller once again, this book shakes the history of the 40k universe down to the core in an unforeseen way.
As a huge fan of the Alpha Legion (whose activities this book includes) I was overjoyed with the twists, turns and exploits involved in this novel and couldn't stop smiling once i'd finished it.
5 stars, no question.

This is an excellently written book, and the Russian/English Translator has done a great job with it. I would recommend this to anyone who likes a great book to read. My wife, ReynaVoop turned me on to this series, and as always, she was right about this book.

Ok, after about a month of shipping problems I finally got it! (It was user error originally, to give them some credit).

Loved it. Now, don't just go and buy Twilight Watch and read it first, cuz then it might not make much sense. Read in order. But narratively speaking, this is AWESOME!

There were a couple times when I flinched while reading when Anton made jabs at the USA. I won't lie. But it wasn't something really dwelled on, but it was jarring enough to be remembered.

You get to see Kostya again, who we only got a glimpse of in NightWatch, and quite a bit of him too. There wasn't long remembrances like in DayWatch. It was an adrenaline rush as in constant action and intrigue. The writing was so much better (either that or the translator did a much better job) than the first two and quicker paced.

About the characterization. Anton in the last one (DayWatch) seemed more like a puppy dog that you wanted to kick (yes, I get frustrated by made-up characters)(I do NOT endorse or practice the act of kicking puppies). This one he again became the guy we fell in love with in NightWatch. Svetlana also shines. Some of the characters who were more prominent before (Gesar, Olga, the rest of the NightWatch and pretty much all the DayWatch) take a backseat. The Inquisition takes a step forward, so we get to see more of Edgar and Weitzlav.

NightWatch and DayWatch were great books but had to keep reverting to what happened (a lot of explanations, a lot of history, a lot of back story) which makes sense when you get into a series. TwilightWatch managed to break the mold though and it was like you got to experience things first hand as they were happening.

Number 4 (LastWatch) needs to hurry up and come out now! I can't wait.

DEFINITELY recommend!

If you have read the 1st two, you have to read this one. Fast action and sets things up for the last book hopefully to be released by summer of 08. If you love the supernatural like I do these books are a must read.

My ranking of the Night Watch novels are Day Watch first, then Night Watch and then Twilight Watch as a distant third. This book was written a few years after the other two, likely to coincide with the release of the movie Night Watch in Russia. It definitely feels like a cash in and almost has a fan fiction quality to it. It's not the worst thing I've ever read, but it is naggingly non-essential. Read it if you really enjoyed the first two and aren't really interested in reading anything else.

The 5 stars are for the book. If I could rate the translation... "-10" might be something.
For all the people who liked it: imagine how much more you'd like it in the original. The translation is unbelievably horrible. The Lukyanenko's excellent style and slang is lost completely. His characters, who are thoroughly modern, sound like they were written by Dickens.
For all people who did not like it: that is because of translation. All the comments about all characters sounding the same... Yep. Not in the original.

This series started with Witchling about three sisters from Otherworld half fae- half human. Yet each is different and the books take one sister's path at a time, alternateing between the three. In Witchling the first book is about Camille the Witch and apparently the nyphomaniac. The sex is porn quality and I am now told on an Anita Blake style. Something the boys of this world will enjoy, but saying these books are paranormal romance is a misnomer. This book is the second sister's path and less of a turn-off in that respect. The reason I continued reading the series is the Storyline is actually GOOD! If you can get past alot of the BS it reals you in. Darkling is the best of the four books out so far, but this one isn't too bad. I wrote a scathing review of the first book but apparently you can put alot of 'porn' sex into a novel but not it's review! Thank the gods this has less of that and more plot. I don't mind if the sex is relevant to the character, but sometimes in this series it seems a little too gratuitous. Try the authors other series if you want romance..The Chintz and China series.

I loved this book, I didn't want to put it down. I loved how Delilah is fragile yet dangerous, the storyline and the world Yasmine has created. Very excitinig and original. I would've liked more flirting/sex between Delilah and Zach but Chase filled in nicely. Can't wait for Menolly's turn in book 3.

Changeling is told from Delilah's point of view. She's the middle sister and she's a werecat, she changes into a long haired golden tabby. In this book she is approached by a member of the Rainier Puma Pride, Zachary Lyonnesse, because someone is killing members of his pride; leaving behind a dried up husk with the heart missing. Upon going to the pride's compound Delilah and her sisters discover that a demon is behind the attacks and ask the pride if they have any idea who could be doing this to them.

At that point The Hunters Moon Clan is brought up because of an old fight between the two groups, but their leader is dead, it couldn't be them. But the demon scent also had the scent of werespider mixed into it so it bears looking into, which means talking to the Autumn Lord, something that isn't to be taken lightly. The Autumn Lord is in charge of spiders, so he would know about werespiders as well, the price to talk to him may be something to high to pay.

The second book in this captivating series by Yasmine Galenorn, we follow the story along with Delilah D'Artigo, middle sister of the three half-blooded fae who have decided to work their magic earthbound. Camille is the eldest, and Witchling was our chance to get to know her. Now we find out about the were-cat's secrets that she doesn't share with her sisters - much of it relating to her other life as a cat, but also some of her PI work, as well. But this time she knows she's in over her head when one of the local were-puma clans hires her to look into the multiple murders of their clan members, so she invites Camille and Mennolly (her vampire sister) to help her examine the scene of the crimes.

Delilah is the middle sister, although she is usually treated like the youngest because of her whimsical feline nature and her tendency to morph into a cat whenever she is stressed out. She is delighted by butterflies and shiny ornaments in either form, but she has a lot more trouble reigning in her impulses when she is in her were form. When were-puma Zach Lyonnesse strolls into her office, all of her senses are on alert. Zach's pack-mates are dying and no one knows why or how to stop it. Delilah, confused by her reaction to Zach, agrees to investigate the scene to see if it is something within her purview, but only if she can bring her sisters with her.

Meanwhile, the sisters are hearing rumors of trouble in the Otherworld - wars among the factions - and their father and aunt are in the middle of the situation. Trillian, Camille's lover, is able to travel between worlds to gather information, but when their father disappears after warning them of a Degath Squad crossing to Earth, the girls realize that things have progressed much further than they had thought and danger was surrounding them from all sides.

Delilah and her sisters must call upon all of their strengths to fight the battle that is coming. All of their friends are banding together to help however possible - but they end up with much more than anyone ever bargained for when they call upon an Immortal for information.

Galenorn is a master storyteller who is not afraid to pull punches while be-spelling her readers with her magical journeys. Her characters are far from perfect and make mistakes just like the rest of us - without giving it away, the tree episode is absolutely hysterical and something many readers will be able to relate to from their personal experiences. I have enjoyed every single fictional work by this author, and she can't write fast enough for me.

Mystery readers who enjoy the paranormal or fantastical elements of stories won't be able to put this one down, but I'd recommend reading Witchling first for the full effect.

This book and the one befor and after are a gatta read. I couldn't put them down until I was finished with all 3 books and then my husband picked it up and he couldn't put them down.

I bought this book because of the title. I really didn't read the description since there was a small blurb on the front comparing it to Christopher Moore. I was sold. I was even more impressed when I picked up the book and couldn't put it down. I think I finished it in 4 hours...now I want more!

This novel probably won't make it into a list of "Great Books of the Twenty-first Century"..but who cares? _Go-Go Girls of the Apocalypse_ is a title that conjures up all kinds of post-apocalyptic fun, and it delivers in spades! On top of that, if you're willing to look beyond the gonzo, the book has some insights into the modern, consumption-driven society. I don't want to spoil it, but there's even a nice ironic twist to the plot given that the "bright hope of the future" turns out to be just more of the same old self-destructive nonsense that led to the apocalypse in the first place. So, to me this book works on a couple of levels. The book leaves plenty of room for thoughtful reflection, but the author never beats you over the head with it. So, if you just want to get lost in the pure escapist fiction of a gonzo, post-apocalyptic quest, you can. Oh, and I love the sly use of a supporting character that can only be the "Mad Max" version of CNN's erstwhile founder and one-time CEO.

Funny stuff start to finish. You're in the mood to smile and chuckle aloud, Go-Go Girls'll get it done.

Mortimer Tate knew both his marriage and the world was coming to an end, so he found a cave, stocked it, and holed up in it for nine years. Now he's ready to hit the town, and has decided he wants to find his wife. He's first accosted and robbed by a bear-man, then saved by a cowboy named Buffalo Bill. Wandering into Spring City, Bill takes Mortimer to Joey Armageddon's Sassy A-Go-Go. Apparently, Joey Armageddon's is the only chain left in the bombed out, busted up new world. The only place where there's still a bar, food service, hotel service, and scantily clad dancing women. They even make their own Armageddon dollars.

Mortimer's stash of goodies earns him a Joey Armageddon's Platinum Card, so he's treated like royalty by the establishment. He's relaxed and treated well at Joey Armageddon's, but still feels the need to find his wife. So he's off on the "muscle express" to Chattanooga.

Mortimer's adventures never stop, encountering The Red Stripes, Mother Lola (a transvestite that runs the mental asylum for women), cannibals, The Stone Mountain Goats, and more. He travels from one peril to another with cohorts Buffalo Bill and Sheila, the girl they saved from the bear-man. After their many amazing feats making it to Chattanooga, Mortimer meets Joey Armageddon face to face. Joey has a proposal, he wants Mortimer to kill his archrival, the Red Czar of The Red Stripes faction.

'Go-Go Girls Of The Apocalypse' is a fantastic, entertaining read. There's fast-paced action and nonstop fun all along the way. From Mortimer's emergence until the ultimate stand-off between the two factions where the winner will take all, you won't be able to put it down. If you want a lighter-side read of the apocalypse that's both tense and side-splittingly funny, then this is the book for you. I could see this novel spinning off into an excellent B horror film. Gischler has written a winner. Highly recommended. Enjoy!

Sitting down with the book, I was ready for an edgy and fun post-apocolyptic story, but by halfway through I had given up on finding it. Each scene is a quick setup for a joke, a hollywood-style action sequence, or a tragic setback. The protagonist tumbles through this storyline with a number of narrow escapes and an equal number of black-outs, which transports him to the next scene.

The author is so focused on keeping a quick pace and dishing out the next half-baked course, that the plot and the characters become wilted two-dimensional garnishes for this fast-food meal.

There was potential here. The initial ingredients were fresh and interesting, but the cook needs to take off the paper hat and step away from the fryer.

The first two books in this set are amazing. The third one is a lame attempt at a movie deal. You can see Hollywood written all over it. It goes against everything the first two books stand for.
That being said, I still give this set a 5-star rating because of the first two stories it contains. They both have a natural flow to them that many sci-fi writers lack the skill to accomplish. All of the main characters behave realistically according to their motivations. The two books compliment each other, the second book serves to establish the same story from a different perspective which adds to the depth of an already great piece of work. Well done, Mr. Card!

This is the first book I have read in ages. The book had a nice pace to it which just drags you in the story. The story (r)evolves around a number of characters.Which gives the whole a nice consistency. After reading the story which in my opinion was over before it begun, I just wanted to know more about everything. Which in certain cases can be an excellent platform for write 12+ novels, and as such create something no one wants to read. This book isn't like that, it is a complete story which can be read on its own. There could have been a bit mnore elaboration on the characters, however this might have taken de pace out of the story. All in all good job, I immediatly started reading the rest. I would recommend this to anyone interrested in science fiction.

Spoiler ahead:
I am unhappy about one thing though, at a certain point the timeline is broken, which closes a lot of untold stories, in a linear timeline, This is solved in the other books.

the first book Ender's Game is great have not had time to start the other books yet. I will read them this spring and get back to this for an update.

Finding this book listed on my granddaughter's summer reading list, I was reminded of the pleasure it brought many years ago, so have now read it again and was entertained as much as I had hoped. The pace is sustained throughout "Ender's Game" and the ending is extremely pleasing, with lose ends tied up nicely. "Ender's Shadow" is surprisingly enjoyable at the same level of suspense despite a similar setting, while "Shadow of the Hegemon" was enjoyable, but not quite of the same quality as the first two books. The author has made a quite plausible and imaginative story, incorporating the idea of using problems that confront us to help build character, while being sensitive to the loneliness of the leadership role.

I purchased this set for my nephew for his birthday. He hasn't been able to put this series down and is reading it for the second time :)

My kids love this book series. They even talked me into reading it! Great read!!

Seriously, I could listen to Nathaniel Parker read stock reports, the city directory or the "terms of use" boilerplate that accompanies software installation packages.

He is wonderful.

Parker also reads the Young James Bond series which are so vivid in my mind now, I may never read the Higson books. I prefer to listen to them.

I'd never listened to an Artemis Fowl book before, and I did not even notice the name of the narrator. When I heard Parker's dulcet tones begin the book, I did a little happy dance around the house.

Artemis is on a mission to save the fairy world. The stoic Butler is still at his side. Artemis is feeling the effects of puberty which, hilariously, foil his concentration on occasion. While hunting demons, he encounters a new rival, the lovely Minerva Paradizo (oh, how I love Colfer's characters' names) who is the same age as Artemis and just as brilliant. She hopes to trap a fairy and impress the Nobel prize committee with her discoveries.

Holly Short has quit LEPRecon following the death of her old boss, Julius Root and now earns her living with Mulch Diggums, as a Lower Elements bounty hunter. She re-teams with Artemis and Foaly in order to save their world from an unstable time tunnel.

Colfer's books are action thrillers full of explosions, car chases and techno gadgetry. They are also packed with stacks of humor, witty dialog and topical references that keep them fresh. What keeps me coming back though, are the underlying ethical and moral issues that are at the core of the tales. The fun of the Artemis stories is how he remains a fast-thinking, law-bending, conniver with a conscience and a heart.

Purchased the Audio CDs for travel, and just like the other 4 books, Nathaniel Parker does an excellent job in narrating. If you enjoy Jim Dale (Harry Potter Series), you'll enjoy Nathaniel Park too.

Book 5 offered a lot more comedy (to me) than the previous 4 books, but also kept the adventure and suspense as a well. Like every Artemis Book, it leaves you wanting more. Book 6, 7/15/08!

Lacking the flow and quick wit of the previous installations, The Lost Colony fails to meet expectations. Two things it does not seem to lack are grammatical errs and syntaxtual confusions.

Eoin Colfer needs to stop. No, really. This book disappointed me to no end. I simply adored the first book. I mean, how cool is it to be rooting for the bad guy for a change? But then, Colfer began making Artemis a completely different character. He made Artemis come over to the good side. NO WAY! Bring back the criminal Artemis of old! This book was just plain weird. If I were you, I would read to book four or so, then stop. It all goes down hill from there

I loved this classic French novel by Jules Verne and found it to be very entertaining from start to finish! I was very surprised that I would enjoy this book as much as I did.... I figured "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea", like many classic novels, would be boring, but Jules Verne is a marvelous storyteller. He imbues this novel with lots of intrigue and mystery as you wonder how the story will unfold... There is lots of adventure and interesting predicaments, and of course, many unforgettable characters one comes to care about during the course of the novel. Also if you like science fiction then this is the novel for you! Jules Verne seems to be ahead of his time in terms of technology and creates quite a wonderful piece of classic literature that has stood the test of time.

The attention to detail that Jules Verne used to capture the readers attention is marvelous... This book is written in the 1st person through the eyes of Assistant Professor Pierre Aronnax of the Paris Museum of Natural History. Professor Aronnax unfolds the story to the reader of this novel about several sightings of a mysterious object seen around the world by many different people.... Some believe it to be an island, others seem to think the object is a floating reef, a large whale or other large mammal and so on. It isn't until Professor Aronnax and his faithful Flemish assistant, Conseil, take part on an expedition aboard the Abraham Lincoln to seek out this unknown object once and for all. Eventually, it is discovered that this unknown object is a submarine named the Nautilus, on which Professor Aronnax, Conseil and Canadian harpooner, Ned Land, spend the remaining part of the novel sailing on the Nautilus through the various oceans of the world along with the crew of the Nautilus. What adventures they have while sailing on the Nautilus!! And the exquisite detail in which Jules Verne imparts is wonderful. One feels like they are truly reading the actually travel journal/diary of Professor Aronnax. Professor Aronnax writes from a scientific/natural history perspective as he is very much interested in the under water world of the worlds oceans.

The only draw back I had with this novel was that some of the descriptions were a bit overdone or a bit too much to take in (like classification of animal species or various nautical terms).... These descriptions aren't overwhelming or occur that frequently, I'd just find myself skimming through these parts rather quickly.

A group of men come to misfortune at sea. They have the dubious misfortune to come to the attention of Captain Nemo and his highly advanced submarine, Nautilus. While this prevents them from drowning, they do get caught up with some of the odd Captain's other pursuits. Ned and company do certainly get some education in oceanography and marine biology along the way.

They do have to worry about what the antiheroic supergenius Nemo is actually up to, though.

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea was one of the best books of it's time and it's legacy still continues today. The author Jules Verne is able to create a world that is fantastic and believable at the same time. However there are moments in which the details become repetitive and rather insignificant.

The main character Captain Nemo, it is never obvious if he is the protagonist or antagonist, has a personality that is quite paradoxical. He believes that mankind has wrecked the earth and has given up on the human race as so decides to escape it by traveling the seas in his submarine. However, he is compassionate towards his crew members. At most times he is emotionless, but it is his emotional trauma that bothers him more than anything else. He is a complex character who is interesting, mysterious, and quite interesting to analyze.

The story line is intriguing and Verne's imagination adds to the impact of the plot. The story begins with a naturalist, his assistant, and a harpooner looking for a giant sea creature that has destroyed several ships. It turns out that this creature that they are looking for, and find, is Captain Nemo's submarine. Verne is also able to create a wonderful world full of different creature of the sea as well as the submarine it's self. At the time the book was written sea travel was common but submarines were unheard of. The description of the vessel and its ability must have wowed readers of the time.

However, it's Verne's over usage of description and unnecessary plot that tends to ruin the pace of the story. For pages on end there is a constant rambling of encyclopedia-like information. Is it really necessary to know the name, size, origin, composition, weight (etc) of some random mineral that naturalist happens to find?

Unfortunately these random occurrences make the book a little hard to follow, but in the end it is still a classic that everyone should end up reading.

I was disappointed to find this was a children's version of the Jules Verne novel. Amazon's description of it doesn't make this clear.

For those rereading 20,000 Leagues under the Sea after many years of telling yourself it was time to read it again, you will find William Butcher' translation quite a surprise. Not only quite accurate but you find additional chapters, not found in earlier translations. The sixty pages of "Explanatory Notes" puts a whole new slant on the story.

After months of "patiently" waiting for this title to come out in paperback, my almost 10 year old was thrilled to see its delivery from the UPS man. He LOVED this book, as he has the previous books and thinks they should all be made into movies and/or tv shows. He reads every night before bed, but usually only for about 20 minutes before falling fast asleep. With this book, he was up 2 hours after "lights-out" not wanting to put it down. Now he begins the wait for the next installment to be available in paperback.

I absolutely love this series. I have read them all but book 6, and can't wait for it to be released. I can see this series becoming very popular.

The 5th book is wonderful, but the end bit, which has to do with the Scarlet Hand, is extremely confusing. Furthermore, the 6th book (yes, its out!)has a plot that doesnt really match up with the 5th. Still, its an extremely compelling read, I suggest that you buy it!

I am sure that I am not the target market for this series, as I will turn 56 in less than a week. In spite of that I have to say that I love this series of books. The sisters and their extended family keep me entertained, crying and rolling on the floor with laughter.
I recently discovered these books when reading a newspaper article about the frenzy around the release of the sixth book.

I was a huge fan of the Harry Potter books and since there probably will never be another one am glad to find a replacement that is just as good and sometimes better.

I can't wait for the 7th installment, to find out what myths and fairy tale stories will have new light shed on them.

The adventures never seem to end for fairy-tale detectives Sabrina and Daphne Grimm. This time they are investigating a series of thefts of magical items like Baba Yaga's Wand of Merlin, Morgan le Fay's Wonder Clock, and water from the Fountain of Youth. Usually Granny Relda and Mr. Canis help them solve mysteries, but Sabrina and Daphne are pretty much on their own this time. Granny Relda is busy trying to raise money to pay her property tax and Mr. Canis is finding it harder and harder to stop turning into the Big Bad Wolf. Will Sabrina and Daphne be able to find the thief before they run out of time?

"Magic and Other Misdemeanors" is another great entry in Michael Buckley's delightful "The Sisters Grimm" fairy-tale detective series. Sabrina and Daphne continue to grow as characters in each book, especially Sabrina, 12 years old by the end of the book and not nearly as angry as she was in the earlier books. Buckley does a great job of incorporating fairy tale and other legendary characters such as Cinderella, Goldilocks, some of the seven dwarfs, the Queen of Hearts, the Sheriff of Nottingham, and many more. It's always fun to see how he tweaks the various characters - for example, Puss `N Boots is an exterminator, Cinderella hosts a radio talk show called The Dr. Cindy Show, and the witch from Hansel and Gretel is a (not very good) dentist. There's a wonderful sense of humor throughout the book (the magic mirror's computer still being on dial-up and Granny Relda's "recipes" are just two examples of that humor). There are some scary moments, but nothing too frightening. The reason for the theft of the magical items has been done before, but Buckley somehow makes it seem fresh.

"Magic and Other Misdemeanors" is aimed at ages 9 - 12, but readers young and old will enjoy it.

Erin Hunter has done it again! The Power of three series is one of her best ideas yet! After reading Twilight and Sunset I thought that Erin Hunter might be loosing her touch, but I have changed my mind completely!

The main characters in The Sight are Squirrelflight and Brambleclaw's kits: Lionpaw(kit), Hollypaw(kit), and Jaypaw(kit). Lionpaw is the bravest of three. He is sure to be a great warrior someday even if he is a little full of himself... Hollypaw is eager to prove herself to be a great mesicine cat even though Leafpelt suggests otherwise. Lastly there's Jaypaw who is the blind apprentice who's destiny is to become a great medicine cat, but can he do it while wallowing in self-pity.

These three start out as kits in the beginning of the book, but after a few accidents they become apprentices. All of them wanting to be the best, they start their apprenticship differently. Lionpaw: warrior apprentice; Hollypaw: medicine cat apprentice; and Jaypaw: disabled warrior apprentice. As they learn more about their future they start to wonder if they made the right decision in choosing their future.

How will these three cats who, even though they don't know it, hold Starclan in their paws deal with these huge responsibilities? Read this book and you will find the answer to this question as well as many others.

My mom bought this book for my 12th birthday and I thought it was really cool and awsome. I can read it over again 30 time and still enjoy it.

My order came on a timely bases and no hassels ordering. The Book is exciting from page one as most of the books in this series are. Good book to read especially if you are a cat lover.

This book is filled with fluency and efficiency, action and adventure. Warmth and darkness. A million star book. You'll love reading this book and all the rest of the books written by Erin Hunter

I thought it had some action but I mostly like Halo because I am a video game person and I just started reading books but I still like books like Halo and another is the Chronicles of Narnia that is proboly my favorit book series.
