Fire and Ice book review

Hunter, Erin, Fire and Ice. New York: Scholastic Inc., 2003.

Fire and Ice is the second book in the 6-book series, "Warriors." The series is about Trust.

In the beginning, Fireheart and Graystripe brought WindClan home. WindClan had been driven out of their territory by Brokenstar, the former leader of ShadowClan, in Into the Wild. ShadowClan's new leader is Nightstar.

Fireheart and Graystripe receive their first apprentices, Cinderpaw and Brackenpaw.

Graystripe falls in love with a RiverClan cat after he falls into the river during winter and she saves him. This was breaking the warrior code and caused much concern for Fireheart. This put a strain on Fireheart's relationship with Graystripe and tested his trust.

A selected passage:

"...Fireheart leaped, grabbing Nightstar from behind. The black warrior howled in rage as Fireheart pulled him backward and sank his claws deep into Nightstar's fur. He had fought side by side with this warrior only a few moons ago to help him drive out Brokenstar. Now, he sank his teeth into Nightstar's shoulder with the same ferocity as he had used against the former ShadowClan leader."
