Our view
Among the early “Warriors” books, “Rising Storm” is one of the stronger: adventure with plenty of drama for middle-grade readers. Fireheart, newly made deputy of ThunderClan, struggles with his duties while Tigerclaw, the deputy before him, is still loose somewhere in the forest and bent on revenge. Not every reader who returns to it as an adult finds it as good as memory had it.
