Product Description
There will be three,
Kin of you kin....
Who hold the
Power of the stars
In their paws. A secret prophecy shapes the lives of Firestar's grandchildren, but only one of the three knows about it. Jaypaw is captivated by the power it promises, and he believes the key to that power may lie buried in the distant past -- with the ancient cats who once walked these woods and now prowl through his dreams. His search for answers leads him toward the mountains -- the home of the Tribe of Rushing Water. Lionpaw and Hollypaw feel drawn to the mountains too, for different reasons. But the mountains hide secrets as well as answers, and if the three cats find a way to get there, they may discover more than they ever expected.

 Warriors-Outcast (Power of Three) May 15, 2008
I was a little disappointed. This booked seemed to lack the fire, excitement and originality previous books in the `Warriors' series had. But following `Dark River' almost anything would seem dull. Nevertheless, I'll buy the next book just to see where it goes. I'll follow it to the end. I'm hooked. I'm grateful to the whole series. My 10 year old granddaughter has devoured the series from `Into the Wild' through `Outcast'. She has read all 15 books in the `Warriors' series, plus two supplemental books `Firestar's Quest' and `Secrets of the Clans' in six months and is waiting anxiously for the next book. Prior to her reading `Into the Wild' she wasn't much of a reader. Now she reads everything she can get her hands on including other books and even granny's Reader Digest. Any book under 200 pages seems small to her; when before it would have seemed like a monumental task to read. If you are new to the series, begin with `Warriors-Into the Wild'. If you want to get a young reader (girl or boy) hooked on reading this is an excellent series to begin with.

Warrior's Power of Three #3 May 8, 2008
I have read all of Erins books several times over. In all of them I have laughed, cried and forgotten to breath. Not so in this book. There was little emotion except when Crowfeather visited Feathertails grave. I was glad when I was finished. It would never make me loose intrest in the complete series but it was a lack luster story over all. I think possibly there are too many Erins trying to write the same continious story line. It seemds as they were rushing through the entire book to get it done. There could have been a lot more written about the journey and maybe even a little background on the trespassing cats. I don't know, I was just disappointed considering how long I waited for the release. Let's see what the next book is like.
 Hunter Is Finally Back in Form May 8, 2008

With the release of Outcast, the newest installment in the Warriors series, Erin Hunter seems to have finally gotten back into her groove, giving us a book that, dare I say it, actually rivals that of the original series. In fact, Power of Three has gotten off to a pretty good start. With The Sight, it was a bit lackluster but by far better then the last two books. Then with Dark River, the story seemed to pick up and get even better as the pages turned and now with the third book, I truley think Hunter has returned to her roots and produce a compelling read.
After the near break out of war between Windclan and Thunderclan, things appear to be returning to normal in the clan, though for our three protaganist things couldn't be anything but normal. Jaypaw still searches for answers on the ancient clan that once roamed the lake, while Hollypaw and Lionpaw strive towards becoming better warriors. And things couldn't be made easier with a newly made warrior determined to cause conflict, a mentor with a dark side, and a growing threat in the mountains that draws all three cats towards discovering their true destiney.
What I feel Outcast did was really pick up on the whole 'phrophecy' of this series, with plot details becoming more and more developed, long overdue questions finally being answered, and our three heroes finally beginning to take shape as true characters. So by far, this is the best one out of the series so far, and hopefully, the fourth will continue this momentum.
Once again, a must for all cat lovers and especially long time Warriors readers.
Here we go again- May 1, 2008

Your heart thuds with excitement... your mouth dries up... your knuckles go white with anxiety.
Here in your hands, you hold a WARRIORS- POWER OF THREE novel, OUTCAST.
Overall, Erin Hunter has done fairly well in this book. ( SPOILERS!!! )
I must say that I was very shocked to see that Daisy had kits again, but to Spiderleg. WHAT? If I am correct, he was one who did not like so many non-Clan cats in this book. Secondly, Purdy is back! Thirdly- WHY THE HECK DID GRAYSTRIPE DO THAT? Millie is expecting kits- oooh, I am so angry. He loved Silverstream- he CAN'T have kits with some other stupid cat!
Sorry, Millie.
See, it turns out that Brook and Stormfur were kicked out of Tribe of Rushing Water since these loners have grouped together in the mountains and want to take the mountain cats over. So kind-hearted Firestar lets the original Sun-drown cats go to help them, plus Lionpaw, Hollypaw, and Jaypaw. This is an excellent idea, but sometimes I feel like strangling those 2-D Tribe cats. They are SO ungrateful! Thunderclan, Windclan, Shadpwclan, and Riverclan cats come trekking all over this green earth to help them, and they act all snotty and cruel.
There is more hints as to what powers the Three cats have, and more frusteration from the limited-talking Rock. but each main character does mature, I'll give it that. Jaypaw is still prickly but he's not so- how to put it? - oblivious, perhaps? Lionpaw got his feelings straightened out with Heatherpaw, but continues to be trained by Tigerstar and Hawkfrost while becoming a marvelous apprentice fighter, and Hollypaw is smarter and has this odd want to become leader.
OUTCAST was a very well written novel- I found only one mistake. In the begining when all the Clans are listed, Tribe O R W is listed also, and it says that Crag, one of the Tribe cats, is Brook's brother, yet this contradicts the actual novel, saying that Talon is her brother. Small mistake, easily overlooked.
Okay, Warrior fan, take care and buy this!
Sincerely,
( yes, I'm back )
