"My niece and I love these books."
I was turned on to these books after reading the earlier (non-manga) Warriors books. My 6 year old niece loves to read, but the other Warriors book are a bit much for her at her age. I bought one copy of each of the two manga Warriors books published so far. One copy was for the local library (where I work) to share them with the kids there. The other copy was for my niece. She's really enjoying them. This is a great way to further encourage her love of reading. Plus, we both read them so we have a shared interest.

"even better than the first manga"
I love the Warriors series and the manga books are a great addition. Sure, it is a quick read, but it isn't all about the text. if you take the time to really enjoy the pictures, you will come away satisfied.

Millie and Graystripe are so cute together!

WARRIORS REFUGE
a review by Blizz

Warriors Refuge: a book even more disappointing then the first volume (which was quite a feat). It matched it's duo-release, Dark River (Warriors: Power of Three #2) by seeming full of filler, and little else. The plot was weak and unoriginal, and drawings were cute and kitty-like, hardly fitting for a series about Warriors.

This volume should confirm that a YOUTH rated manga series cannot accurately portray the books they have set out to in the case of the Warriors series. The only highlights of the volume where some nice frames of decent artwork. In the words of a friend, "It's better to flip through and make up your own story, it's probably going to be more enjoyable."

I love Warriors, I own the largest Warriors fansite on the internet and have dedicated half of the last five years of my life to the series. Perhaps that is why this book is so bitterly disappointing to me.

You might give this purchase a skip, unless you're a seven year old or a die hard fan, both of which might be equally amused by something that really isn't worth nine dollars Canadian. That said, younger fans of the series may enjoy the illustrated version, but it is not likely to be popular among older fans.
