Warriors Super Edition: Darktail's Judgment

By Erin Hunter

Book Overview

Explore the origins of infamous Warriors villain Darktail in this superlong stand-alone novel in Erin Hunter's #1 nationally bestselling series

Darkpaw is no ordinary kittypet. Raised in the Twolegplace by his mother, he eagerly awaits the return of his father, Onewhisker, a WindClan cat who promised to raise him as a warrior. But as the seasons pass with no sign of Onewhisker, Darkpaw begins to doubt that his father ever planned to come back for him.

Chafing against the boredom of kittypet life, Darkpaw's hurt transforms into deep anger--at his father, at his Twolegs, and at the other kittypets who don't treat him like the warrior he's destined to become. When tragedy strikes, a hardened Darktail makes it his mission to hunt down the one cat responsible for all his misfortunes.

As a rogue, Darktail learns to use his influence--and strength--to recruit other cats in his pursuit of Onewhisker. But as his hunt intensifies, as well as the violence required to maintain his following, Darktail transforms into a villain who will haunt the Clans for seasons to come--and is forced to pay the ultimate price.

Another 5 star Warriors tale

'Darktail's Judgement' is another in a long line of absorbing cat sagas in the Warriors universe. I still don't understand how these are considered kids books in the suggested age range, given the meat and motives of the stories...especially this one. Unless it's because it's about the lives and loves of "talking cats". But Darktail is one frightening, powerful personality and although at times you do feel for his plight, he is deceptively dangerous and psychotic...definitely up there with the worst of Warriors villains. The multifaceted involvement of so many other important characters is fascinating in itself, and Darktail's thoughts alone as the story unfolds make this another compelling read. A mesmerizing dialogue with himself. Don't miss it, but be ready for heavier elements overall than is usual.
