Summary: The first in a series of black-and-white graphic novels expanding the story behind the Warriors saga of feral cat clans
Comment: Warriors Tigerstar & Sasha #1: Into the Woods is the first in a series of black-and-white graphic novels expanding the story behind the Warriors saga of feral cat clans who master survival in the wild. Tigerstar & Sasha: Into the Woods delves into the past of Sasha, a cat caught between two mutually exclusive worlds - that of the "kittypets" cared for by humans, and that of the proud and independent wild cats. When Sasha's beloved master grows too old to care for her, he must move away to a retirement home. Other humans are willing and able to look after her, but she isn't ready for a new master; instead, she leaves the human world to spend some time on her own. Sasha crosses paths with Tigerstar, leader of the ShadowClan, and gradually gets to know him and other clan members. Together, Sasha and Tigerstar can survive even a battle against a wild fox. Tigerstar extends a tempting invitation for her to join ShadowClan - it would mean added security and an end to her loneliness - yet ShadowClan has a dark, hidden secret in its plans to perpetrate ruthless vengeance on all outside cats! Volume one ends on a tense cliffhanger, leaving the reader in anxious anticipation for more. Suitable for readers age ten to one hundred and ten, Warriors Tigerstar & Sasha #1: Into the Woods is especially recommended for cat lovers everywhere.

Summary: It was great for my daughter
Comment: My daughter enjoyed the book, plain and simple. It kept her interest, we all want our kids to read and even if the adults thought this book was dumb, it was geared towards kids. I'm going to be buying more books that are in the series for my daughter for Christmas, which is wonderful that she wants a book for xmas!

Summary: Somewhat Pointless
Comment: First of all, the artwork in this book is nothing like the other Warrior Mangas. In my opinion, the anatomy and faces of the cats are just plain ugly. I would have been much more satisfied if this book had followed the style of Graystripe's books.
Also, the story is quite pointless. It's like writing a book on the secret life of Smudge. No one really cares about Sasha because she did not play a prominent role in the story and thus this is really a waste of time and energy. I don't think this book has contributed to the original Warriors series at all.

Summary: Kinda stupid
Comment: These Manga books are just a quick, easy way for the authors of the
Warrior Cat series to make some extra bucks. The books are rip-offs. In this particular one, we see the "good side" of the murderous Tigerstar and learn what a hyprocrite he was to fall for a kittypet, father children with her, and make her hide the truth about herself. It's just stupid. It doesn't even make any sense when viewed in the context of the Warrior Cats series. I commend the authors for trying to add depth to Tigerstar's character, but this was the wrong approach. And the books are small, and expensive as well! I'm all in favor of authors making money, but not like this.

Summary: A fun read
Comment: When we met Sasha in the books, she seemed like a proud, fiery cat who was happy to be independent. So here in this book we get a glimpse into her past and her meetings with Tigerstar. The art style takes a bit getting used to, but it's realistic and pretty cool. Sasha is portrayed as being much more meek and shy than when we first met her, and sort of wants to join Clan life, even though in the books it was said that she wasn't comfortable around so many cats. Nevertheless, I'm eagerly anticipating the next installment.

Sasha has everything she wants: kind housefolk who take care of her during the day and the freedom to explore the woods beyond Twolegplace at night. But when Sasha is forced to leave her home, she must forge a solitary new life in the forest. Life on her own is exciting at first but quickly gets lonely. When Sasha meets Tigerstar, leader of ShadowClan, she wonders whether she would be better off joining the ranks of his forest Clan. But Tigerstar has many secrets, and Sasha must decide whether she can trust him.
