But now they must decipher a mysterious prophecy—a message that will send one young medicine cat apprentice on a quest to determine the fate of all the warrior Clans.</p>\n<p>Full of epic adventure and thrilling intrigue, the beginning of this fifth Warriors series is the perfect introduction for readers new to the Warriors world, while for dedicated fans, it’s a long-awaited return to the era of Bramblestar’s ThunderClan, after the events of Omen of the Stars.</p>\n</blockquote>\n<h2><strong>My Review:</strong></h2>\n<p><img src=\"http://pinterest.com/pin/create/bookmarklet/?is_video=false&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Frachelpoli.com%2F2019%2F02%2F02%2Fwarriors-the-apprentices-quest-a-vision-of-shadows-1-by-erin-hunter-book-review%2F&amp;media=https%3A%2F%2Frachelpoli.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2018%2F01%2Frp-book-cover.png&amp;description=Book%20Cover%20%7C%20RachelPoli.com\" />The covers for the series as a whole got a make-over. The covers all look gorgeous and even though these are “new” for earlier books, this is the first edition cover for A Vision of Shadows. I really like the colors and think the art style is beautiful.</p>\n<p><img src=\"http://pinterest.com/pin/create/bookmarklet/?is_video=false&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Frachelpoli.com%2F2019%2F02%2F02%2Fwarriors-the-apprentices-quest-a-vision-of-shadows-1-by-erin-hunter-book-review%2F&amp;media=https%3A%2F%2Frachelpoli.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2018%2F01%2Frp-first-thoughts.png&amp;description=First%20Thoughts%20%7C%20RachelPoli.com\" />After reading Omen of the Stars, I hopped right into this series since I’m trying to catch up on the books before the next series comes out.</p>\n<p><img src=\"http://pinterest.com/pin/create/bookmarklet/?is_video=false&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Frachelpoli.com%2F2019%2F02%2F02%2Fwarriors-the-apprentices-quest-a-vision-of-shadows-1-by-erin-hunter-book-review%2F&amp;media=https%3A%2F%2Frachelpoli.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2018%2F01%2Frp-plot.png&amp;description=Plot%20%7C%20RachelPoli.com\" />Alderpaw and his sister Sparkpaw are Bramblestar (the clan leader) and Squirrelflight’s kits. They’re made into apprentices at the beginning and begin their warrior training. Except, poor Alderpaw is a terrible “warrior.” His fighting skills are lacking and he has yet to catch a single piece of prey. He’s worried about what good he would be for his clan if he can’t defend it or catch food.</p>\n<p>So, Bramblestar and the two medicine cats, Leafpool and Jayfeather, decide to make Alderpaw a medicine cat apprentice. Shortly after, he begins to have visions from StarClan and must go on a quest to help SkyClan from long ago.</p>\n<p>I enjoyed this particular plot because it’s not every day you meet a protagonist who “can’t” do what they’re supposed to – at least, not in this series. I was certainly intrigued by his story and how he would fit into his clan throughout.</p>\n<p><img src=\"http://pinterest.com/pin/create/bookmarklet/?is_video=false&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Frachelpoli.com%2F2019%2F02%2F02%2Fwarriors-the-apprentices-quest-a-vision-of-shadows-1-by-erin-hunter-book-review%2F&amp;media=https%3A%2F%2Frachelpoli.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2018%2F01%2Frp-characters.png&amp;description=Characters%20%7C%20RachelPoli.com\" />Alderpaw makes a great main character. He has a lot of anxiety and is very self-conscious which makes me feel bad for him and root for him all the more. His sister Sparkpaw is an interesting character, though she’s a bit of a know-it-all and can be a snob. I’m looking forward to seeing how their relationship plays out throughout the next few books.</p>\n<p><img src=\"http://pinterest.com/pin/create/bookmarklet/?is_video=false&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Frachelpoli.com%2F2019%2F02%2F02%2Fwarriors-the-apprentices-quest-a-vision-of-shadows-1-by-erin-hunter-book-review%2F&amp;media=https%3A%2F%2Frachelpoli.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2018%2F01%2Frp-writing-style.png&amp;description=Writing%20Style%20%7C%20RachelPoli.com\" /></p>\n<p>The Apprentice’s Quest is an easy read and definitely a page-turner at some parts. The book is just shy under 300 pages, which is the typical length. The plot and characters are interesting enough and easy to follow along with.</p>\n<p><img src=\"http://pinterest.com/pin/create/bookmarklet/?is_video=false&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Frachelpoli.com%2F2019%2F02%2F02%2Fwarriors-the-apprentices-quest-a-vision-of-shadows-1-by-erin-hunter-book-review%2F&amp;media=https%3A%2F%2Frachelpoli.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2018%2F01%2Frp-overall.png&amp;description=Overall%20%7C%20RachelPoli.com\" />This was a great beginning to a new series of Warriors books. I’m looking forward to reading book two and seeing where Alderpaw goes from here.</p>\n<h3><em>Warriors: The Apprentice’s Quest (A Vision of Shadows 1)</em> by Erin Hunter gets…<br />\n<img src=\"http://pinterest.com/pin/create/bookmarklet/?is_video=false&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Frachelpoli.com%2F2019%2F02%2F02%2Fwarriors-the-apprentices-quest-a-vision-of-shadows-1-by-erin-hunter-book-review%2F&amp;media=https%3A%2F%2Frachelpoli.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2017%2F12%2Frp-4-cups.png&amp;description=Book%20Review%20Rating%20System%20%7C%204%20Cups%20of%20Coffee%20%7C%20RachelPoli.com\" /><strong>4 out of 5 cups</strong></h3>\n<h2><strong>Favorite Quote:</strong></h2>\n<blockquote>\n<p>“And from the way you described Mistfeather, all ragged and skinny, the attack didn’t happen just yesterday.” -Erin Hunter, Warriors: The Apprentice’s Quest (A Vision of Shadows 1)</p>\n</blockquote>\n<h2><strong>Buy the book:</strong></h2>\n<p><a href=\"http://amzn.to/2Ti8svb\">Amazon</a> | <a href=\"http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-8407214-11811597?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.barnesandnoble.com%2Fw%2Fthe-apprentices-quest-erin-hunter%2F1123273678%3Fean%3D9780062386373&amp;cjsku=9780062386373\">Barnes &amp; Noble</a> | <a href=\"http://affiliates.abebooks.com/c/408889/366626/2029?prodsku=COM9780062386373USED&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.abebooks.com%2FWarriors-Vision-Shadows-%25231-Apprentices-Quest%2F22444627451%2Fbd%3Fcm_mmc%3Daff-_-ir-_-PLA-_-v01\">Abe Books</a></p>\n<h3><em>Have you read this book?
