Official art by Natalie Riess and Sara Goetter (The Prophecies Begin, Volume 1)

As a warriors fan and a huge fan of the first series I was super excited when I heard they were adapting the first series into graphic novels but what we got disappointed me

Disclaimer: this is my opinion not yours and I respect everyone’s different opinions on the graphic novel

so first I want to talk about the art of the new graphic novel. The art is absolutely stunning it did not disappoint and surpassed my expectations by a lot. The cats really look like how I think they look in my head from there descriptions. Sara Goetter and Natalie Riess did amazing.

Now lets get into the story and why its so disappointing (for me of course)
at first the story started off normal with few alterations so I was happy but as I continued to read it I noticed scenes I was looking forward to not to be there such as Cinderpaw’s accident, Fireheart meeting Princess (which was cut because they instead introduce her as being close to Fireheart still), Cloudkit joining Thunderclan, Graystripe and silver stream meeting in secret, Whiteclaw falling into the gorge, and others
if you watched bright guardian Akira’s video you would know they cut over 17 chapters out of fire and ice including major events this really disappointed me and honestly it feels like the graphic novel is just a modified retelling of into the wild and not what it is advertised as a into the wild and fire and ice retelling it feels like fire and ice was forced into to make the graphic novel just a bit longer when into the wild clearly needed its own graphic novel retelling
even though the warrior cats team has told us some these of missing events will be in the next graphic novel they will be most likely be rushed in so they can start the next two books story arc

what was your opinion on the new graphic novel???
did you like the story or was it disappointing for you as well??
did you enjoy the art??
tell me your opinion and why you have that opinion on the graphic novel
