 A Huge Step Forward April 26, 2008
12 out of 13 found this review helpful
Well, Warriors fans, this is it: Outcast has finally arrived. And let me start by saying that it was excellent! By far, this is the best of the Power of Three series thus far. The story line was intriguing, and overall, the plot of this newest Warriors series really began to come together. Aside from advancing the plot, our marvelous Erins also did some major character development in Outcast.
The trio really matured in this book, laying the grounds for more interesting problems (like outside of common question "Should we disobey orders and take matters into our own paws, or listen?") later in the series. Lionpaw isn't so goody-goody, and not so proud. It grows steadily obvious that fighting is his strong point. And Hollypaw is a bit obsessed with wanting to be leader (and still slightly irritating with her constant worrying), but she's really maturing too. Jaypaw is sill prickly, but not so annoying, and the parts of the book from his point of view were, in my opinion, the most interesting. I really liked the character development in this book... even Breezepaw seems to be maturing somewhat, and you get real insight as to why he's so obnoxious.
Anyway, I thought that this book was great. From an increasingly interesting plot (read to find out what happens!) to characters that truly begin to come to life, Outcast was a must-read for all Warriors fans!
 By Far the Best in Teapot April 26, 2008

Although it still doesn't compare to the first series, Outcast is the best in The Power of Three, with good character development and a "finally coming together" plot. Lionpaw and Jaypaw are becoming more balanced, and we finally get to see some of Honeypaw's personality. We also get to see a whole new side of Breezepaw, while Hollypaw doesn't change much at all - she still worries too much, and is still borderline Mary-sue. Stoneteller is shown in a whole new light, but the author could have gone more into the reprecussions of his behavior.
The whole gung-ho "Let's get together like old times" thing is getting old too. We didn't get to see much of the tribe and many of their cats remained a bit 2-D, not really showing all that much personality.
On the other hand, the conclusion was more realistic, with the characters aknowledging that the peace wouldn't last forever and that the tribe will have problems in the future.
Overall, an excellent book, though it still doesn't rank up there with the first six.
Great and Ambitious April 25, 2008

The author of Outcast (one of the Hunters, Cherith or Kate, can't remember which) seemed to take everything a large step further in this book. They answered questions like why Brook and Stormfur were banished from the Tribe, and where the Tribe originally came from. She also really stepped up the three cats' personalities, giving Hollypaw a sudden want for the position of leader, furthering Lionpaw's relationship with Tigerstar and Co., and pressing the full weight fo the prophecy on Jaypaw. He is desperate now to keep his siblings alive and fulfill this prophecy, giving him answers to everything he seeks. Ashfur's relationship with his apprentice has further degraded as well. I would certainly recommend this book, because it does manage to keep up with the flow of the series, something that can't be easy with two seperate authors.
Amazing! April 23, 2008

This book is BY FAR the best on Earth- or rather, this series. It begins with our past heroes; Lionpaw, Hollypaw, and Jaypaw. All are not exactly invited but go on a huge adventure to the Mountains of the Tribe Cats to help them sort out soem problems.
If you liked the other Warriors books, you'll LOVE this one!
Hope this helped,
