Dark River (Warriors: Power of Three, Book 2)
by Erin Hunter © 2007, 322 pages Level 5 (all about levels) Read Amazon ReviewsThis book is one of the best books I've read in the past few weeks. It combines action, humor, mystery, and romance into one superb novel.
Dark River tells the story of three ThunderClan apprentices named Jaypaw, Lionpaw, and Hollypaw (all apprentices' names end with "paw"). Lionpaw has a forbidden love interest, Jaypaw is exploring his power to see into other cats' dreams, and Hollypaw knows a secret that could stop a war between the four clans. The apprentices grow stronger, but so do their problems.
I cannot say much about the plot of this wonderful book without betraying the feeling of excitement you get when you actually read it. However, I will mention that there is a near drowning at the end of the book.
Combining many different elements of a Best Read, I give this book the Best Read Banner for its commendable use of the English language and its stellar story.
Note: Something else that is incredibly impressive about this book is the fact that it does not use the word "said" once.





Glad you liked it :) A great review!
take care
