The Prophecies Begin arc / Book 1

Oh boy the nostalgia is real with this one folks. I’ve probably read this book about ten times, but it never gets old. We meet Rusty, a kitty pet who has to decide whether or not he wants to join a forest cult of cats, and the friends and enemies he makes along the way. The start of my favorite arc, I hold this book so dearly to my heart. Probably my favorite series book in the franchise. If anyone wants to start reading Warrior Cats, this is the book to start with.

Spoilers ahead!

Fireheart is probably the most endearing book protagonist. We see him make mistakes, let a Shadowclan medicine cat join the clan, break the code, and help his best friend escape his abusive mentor. But he always has a pure heart and great pals. Graystripe is one of the most classic characters, and Tigerclaw is one of the greatest antagonists of all time.
