Our view
A friendship strained by forbidden love gives “Fire and Ice”, the second “Warriors” book, its emotional pull. Fireheart and Graystripe are new warriors of ThunderClan when Graystripe falls for a RiverClan cat, against the warrior code. Some readers find the quarrel between the two friends drawn out, and others, who loved the book as children, rate it lower as adults. It remains, first of all, a children’s adventure about wild cats.
