Product Description
Firestar's three grandchildren have learned of the powerful prophecy that foretells their destinies, and the responsibility of deciding the Clans' future weighs heavily on the three apprentices. But each secretly yearns for power: Lionpaw dreams of being undefeatable in battle, while Hollypaw longs to be a great leader and Jaypaw knows only he can see the true past and future for them all. Their strengths are tested when ThunderClan is suddenly attacked—and all four Clans are thrown into a battle unlike any the cats have ever seen. Then a dark shadow falls across the forest, and a mysterious stranger warns the Clans of more trouble to come. For the first time, it appears that StarClan does not hold the answers the cats need. All of a sudden, the warrior code is being tested. A crisis of faith threatens to tear the four Clans apart and destroy what the cats have built their lives upon. . . .

 Amazing... September 4, 2008

This book is officially my favorite Warrior Cats book now. It's a far cry from the other PO3 books, as there is more action, the three begin to do more with their powers, and more is revealed than ever before. This series is obviously the most mysterious of all the three series, and this book both unlocks and spins mysteries right and left. A new character is introduced, Sol, the mysterious (there's that word again!) newcomer who begins to turn ShadowClan away from the lake and StarClan. The three contemplate and act on their powers like never before, Lionpaw with his strength in battle and Jaypaw with his power to step into other cats' minds. Hollypaw has no clear, defined power yet, but she will come. Or rather, i should say Hollyleaf. And Lionblaze. This book is well worth the purchase, and if you're feeling unsure after the last three books, this one will definitely change your mind.
 Really good book, recommended! April 23, 2009

I really liked Eclipse because although usually there is some drama that happens in these books like a fire, flood, storm etc, this time it had an eclipse. None of the cats knew what was happening and they thought that Starclan (warrior cats ancestors who have died) was mad at them for fighting with other clans. In the book a strange cat named Sol comes to Thunderclan asking to speak with Firestar. At first I liked Sol and I thought he was going to help Hollypaw, Lionpaw, and Jaypaw (later Hollyleaf, Lionblaze and Jayfeather) understand the prophecy, "Three kin of your kin (Firestar's kin) will hold the powers of stars in their paws." But it turns out that he goes to Shadowclan and makes them stop believing in Starclan! That's when it really got interesting because Erin Hunter usually does not make cats stop believing in Starclan (especially a whole clan!). The only reason I rated this book four stars is because I didn't like Jaypaw one bit! I mean, it's okay to be aggravated because you can't see, but to be grumpy all the time at everything is just plain annoying. The only thing I like about Jaypaw is that he has a special connection with Starclan that allows him to walk in other cats' dreams. Lionpaw (Lionblaze) thinks he is the best fighter (which he is) but Erin Hunter drags it out a little tooooo much, I mean I get the point already! I feel really sorry for Hollypaw/Hollyleaf because she doesn't (as far as I know) have any powers. Even though I love Erin Hunter's books very much I am getting tired of the names that all end in heart, tail, fur, claw, foot etc. I think the names could be more interesting, like ending in night, shade, sparkle, willow etc. I don't know about other people but I read Warriors Super Edition: Firestar's Quest and I would love to see Skyclan again in another book. All in all, Eclipse is a really good book and I would recommend it to anyone who loves cats, but you have to start at the first book (Warriors #1: Into the Wild). --Sincerely, Sydstar
Definitely the Best Thus Far... September 7, 2008

The review title says it all: this is BY FAR the best book thus far in The Power of Three. For all those of you who were unsure of the series, well... read this book- it's bound to change your mind.
The Power of Three is turning out to be quite the mystery- way more so than the original series or The New Prophecy. In Eclipse, as some questions are answered, even more are asked, and you're left wondering and waiting for the next book.
The Three delve deeper into the prophecy and what it means for them and for the Clans. Jaypaw's powers to walk in the dreams and thoughts of others deepen, as does Lionpaw's power of strength in battle.
And, speaking of battles, if one of the things you didn't like about the other three books in this series were their lack of action, you're in for a pleasant surprise. Three words: Three Chapter Battle.
Hollpaw is the only one with no clear ability yet, though her deep-set faith in the warrior code shows promise.
And speaking of the warrior code... What will happen when the arrival of a mysterious stranger, Sol, who made a prediction even StarClan could not make, arrives? He knows of the prophecy- will he help the Three? Or will his arrival spell the end of the old ways? What will happen when ShadowClan forsakes their warrior ancestors? So many questions, no clear answer.
What IS clear is that Eclipse was a book definitely worth the read. And it'll keep you longing for the sequel.

This book is by Erin Hunter. It takes place in a forest and it is about cats. In the beginning all the cats are training for Leaf-Fall (Autumn.) Then Thunder Clan starts a battle with Wind clan! But when River Clan helps Wind Clan, and Shadow Clan helps Thunder Clan things get strange. All four Clans are fighting! When the Warrior Ancestors get mad, the sun disappears!
This book is filled with adventure, and it features cats from the earlier books, like Firestar, Hollypaw, Lionpaw and Jaypaw. If you like cats and adventure, you'll love this book.

The three apprentices --- Jaypaw, Lionpaw and Hollypaw --- along with traveling companions Stormfur, Brook, Tawnypelt, Squirrelflight, Breezepaw and Crowfeather, have been on an astounding journey to the mountains. Now they have begun their trip home at last. Hollypaw is homesick and feels like they've been gone forever. However, she is still recovering from the news that Stormfur and Brook will only accompany the group to the foothills since they have decided to remain in the mountains.
Hollypaw is frustrated with Lionpaw's casual attitude toward their prophecy and their powers. She wants to know exactly what the prophecy means, but Lionpaw urges her to get on with her life in the real world. Lionpaw also irks her by casually wondering if their great powers put them above the warrior code, a suggestion that causes Hollypaw to feel a great sense of overpowering dread. That ominous feeling is heightened when Lionpaw hints that he believes his great power may be enormous physical strength, enabling him to win any fight. Jaypaw cautions them to keep their powers secret; he doubts their Clanmates would be glad to know that they have more power than StarClan. Meanwhile, they must attend to their hunting chores as they travel toward home.
Back in ThunderClan camp, the apprentices can't help noticing a general undercurrent of unease. WindClan warriors have been crossing their border to hunt in ThunderClan territory. Their thievery of prey and increasing hostility angers ThunderClan. Although some warriors hunger for a violent battle with WindClan, Firestar wishes for a peaceful outcome. He commands a group to travel to WindClan's camp in order to warn Onestar that ThunderClan will increase border patrols and that they will not tolerate being disrespected.
After the talk with WindClan, Hollypaw and Lionpaw disagree drastically on what action should be taken against the thieves. Again, Hollypaw is filled with foreboding about her hot-headed brother and the future. Will the siblings' opposing philosophies lead to problems she can't even bear to consider?
Meanwhile, more immediate problems need their attention. As ThunderClan warriors patrol, Hollypaw glimpses a stranger, a cat resembling a lion. Soon after, Jaypaw has an urgent premonition that something dark is heading toward them. Suddenly, Sol, the mysterious stranger, arrives in ThunderClan camp with a terrible warning for the Clan...of oncoming emptiness and darkness that will change life for the Clans forever. Sol also has news for Jaypaw about the mystical powers he and his siblings are gifted with, and the awe-inspiring repercussions in store for them in the future. But meanwhile, ThunderClan's camp is under attack...and then the sun vanishes.
ECLIPSE is another gripping fantasy thriller filled with portents, secrets, relationships and battles. The apprentices' internal conflict surrounding their prophecy and power continues to be an intriguing thread. What their destiny means for the future of the Clans is balanced by the ever-escalating conflict between the Clans. Warriors fans will devour ECLIPSE and then begin counting the days until the fifth Power of Three volume, LONG SHADOWS, is available.
