The only negative thing I have to say about the series is that everything besides plot and character development is very repetitive. But we see lots of Sandstorm (ooh, FireSand shipping!), Cinderpelt (wise little medicine cat), Brightpaw (it infuriates me what Bluestar renamed her), Graystripe (so glad to have the Fireheart/Graystripe friendship back), Tawnypaw, and Bramblepaw, plus others! Yeah, this the book where all the ThunderClan cats are featured, as well as a few RiverClan cats, too. Other characters grow, too: Cloudpaw and Longtail especially. I still love Fireheart, and it’s amazing to think back on how young and inexperienced he was in book 1. When he judges others for their actions or lack thereof, he sometimes lets old events and relationships cloud his reasoning, or at least bias him toward one side or another. He’s forced to take on even more leadership as Bluestar gets progressively worse. Speaking of characters… Fireheart changes a lot here. It’s almost all plot and plotting, and there are some more great character developments.
All the filler that book 4, Rising Storm, basically was is not present in A Dangerous Path at all. (Heck, I got teary at the end! Yeah, guys, I almost cried about a book about cats.) Warriors is still very much a middle grade series, but the story takes a very dark turn in the last two books. Going into A Dangerous Path, I remembered some of the major plot points back from when I read this series as a kid, but I still was shocked and saddened and disturbed when they happened. Tigerstar is just as monstrous as ever, if not more, now that he’s the leader of ShadowClan has has a lot of power at his disposal. There are many deaths and some very evil schemes to be found. So this is where the series gets really dark. Fireheart’s beloved leader has turned her back on their warrior ancestors, and Fireheart can’t help but wonder if she’s right. ShadowClan has a dark new leader, but will he be satisfied with his power now - or does his desire for revenge burn even more strongly? Fireheart fears that there is a connection between the rise of Tigerstar and the terrible dreams that haunt his nights, murmuring of danger and death.Meanwhile, a mysterious and vicious threat unlike any other has invaded the forest, placing every cat’s life in peril.
