Thus, Sasha later finding out the truth definitely would feel like it comes out of left field. But does that really justify his utter hatred of where she comes from? Unfortunately, new readers can chock this up a character flaw that he could grow from. Sure, he saves her when the foxes attack.

In fact, without prior knowledge of his villainy, he's just a bland cat who protects Sasha and freaks out once he finds out she's originally from a "twoleg" home. You see, Tigerstar doesn't show a lot of his power-hungry feelings to Sasha. And that's not even considering how confusing it is for new readers unfamiliar with the rest of the series. However, the story runs into a lot of problems when you consider what you know of the series as a whole. It's a wonderful story to follow and I loved seeing cats I'd already read about illustrated for me. Honestly, Sasha's story with Tigerstar is cute. Unfortunately, Sasha's entirely unprepared for the truth of his treachery and thirst for power. And it isn't long until Sasha finds herself falling for the powerful cat.īut she doesn't know everything about Tigerstar and his past.

He teaches her the ways of the forest and the clan cats who live there. She soon happens upon Tigerstar, who leads Shadowclan. Into the Woods follows a housecat, Sasha, who escapes into the wood when one of her elderly housefolk dies and the other is sent to live in a nursing home where Sasha would not be allowed. As exciting as it was to delve into the world of the Warriors manga, there are some serious continuity issues with this first book. And he doesn't exactly fit in with the seven authors who write under the penname Erin Hunter. It's also worth noting that this book has an entirely different writer, Dan Jolley. It's incredibly obvious that Erin Hunter's Into the Woods, the first in the Tigerstar and Sasha manga series was written well after the original novels. The only other place I've ever been happy.
