It blows me away that the Warriors (cats) novels targeted an early adolescent demographic (10-14 years).
Like wtf those were basically the GOT books with cats
#THERE ARE 9 ARCS NOW JESUS#I stopped around the power of 3 arc (3rd arc series)#also I cried when cinderpelt died#that was emotional for me#watching the characters live their lives in the books and eventually dying#and then the series moves on to another group of characters really messes with you man#I marathon read these in middle school and it explains so god damn much#that was like a dead giveaway to an autism diagnosis#AND EVERYBODY MISSED IT#but yeah the series just. keeps. going#it's very existential in a sense#warrior cats#warriors books
