Our view
“Starlight”, the tenth “Warriors” book and the fourth of “The New Prophecy”, is best kept for readers already at home among its wild cats. It continues the arc rather than standing on its own, so newcomers should start several volumes earlier. Some readers find the characters’ pride and stubborn quarrels exasperating while still enjoying the book.
