There are 48 core novels in the main 'Warriors' saga — that comes from eight epic arcs with six books each. The arcs start with 'The Prophecies Begin' and move through 'The New Prophecy', 'Power of Three', 'Omen of the Stars', 'Dawn of the Clans', 'A Vision of Shadows', 'The Broken Code', and 'A Starless Clan'. If you’re counting just the numbered arc books, that’s the clear, tidy total.
Beyond those, the world is much bigger: there are dozens of Super Editions, novellas, field guides, and a whole line of manga. Super Editions like 'Bluestar's Prophecy' or 'Ravenpaw's Farewell' give long standalone stories, while the novellas fill in side characters and moments. Add in guides such as 'Secrets of the Clans' and the various manga miniseries, and you’re looking at many more titles — easily pushing the complete Warriors reading list well past 70 books. I love recommending people start with a single arc and then binge the rest, because once you meet these cats, it’s hard to stop.

The Warriors series situation is a genuine maze at this point. Asking for 'how many books' feels like asking how many stars are visible—it depends where you stand and what you count. If we're talking the mainline 'arcs,' it's several distinct sets: the original 'The Prophecies Begin' (6 books), 'The New Prophecy' (6), 'Power of Three' (6), 'Oathbreaker'—wait, 'Omen of the Stars' (6), then 'A Vision of Shadows' (6), 'The Broken Code' (6), and the currently ongoing 'A Starless Clan.' So that's seven completed multi-book arcs, plus the new one.
But then the 'Super Editions,' which are hefty single-character deep dives, add another... fifteen or sixteen? I lost track after 'Leopardstar's Honor.' Don't forget the 'Novellas' (those three-book packs like 'Tales from the Clans'), the 'Field Guides,' and the mangas. A straight number is almost meaningless; you need a map. For a new reader, just the first arc is a solid commitment. The total count easily brushes past 90 individual titles if you include every single publication. It’s a sprawling universe, and counting them feels like herding cats.

Finally got around to cataloging my whole shelf of these things. The core saga everybody talks about is the original 'Warriors' series, which started with 'Into the Wild'. That's 'The Prophecies Begin'. After that, it's 'The New Prophecy' (beginning with 'Midnight'), 'Power of Three' ('The Sight'), 'Omen of the Stars' ('The Fourth Apprentice'), and 'A Vision of Shadows' ('The Apprentice's Quest'). The latest main arc is 'The Broken Code' ('Lost Stars'), followed by the currently publishing 'A Starless Clan' beginning with 'River'.
But that's just the spine of it. You've got the 'Dawn of the Clans' prequel series way before everything, which is actually a fantastic entry point. Then there are the 'Super Editions' focusing on single cats, like 'Firestar's Quest' or 'Bluestar's Prophecy', which slot in at specific times. Plus a ton of novella collections and 'Field Guides'. It's a whole ecosystem. The official website has a timeline, but honestly, half my reading order came from piecing together forum posts from ten years ago.

I still get a little giddy talking about all the fringe stuff around the main Warriors arcs — the franchise really exploded into a whole ecosystem. If you mean the spin-off series (the books that aren’t one of the main multi-book arcs), they generally fall into a few clear categories: the 'Manga' mini-series, the longer standalone 'Super Editions', the short-story 'Novellas' collections, and the various 'Field Guides'/'Reference' books like 'Warriors: The Ultimate Guide'.
For some concrete examples I always point people to: the manga volumes such as 'The Lost Warrior' and 'The Rise of Scourge', Super Editions like 'Bluestar's Prophecy' and 'Crookedstar's Promise', and the reference titles bundled as field guides. Those are the bits I recommend if you want extra perspectives on side characters or one-off adventures outside the numbered arcs. I love picking one of the Super Editions on a rainy afternoon — they read like cozy epilogues or big sidequests to me.

Man, the 'Warriors' series by Erin Hunter is such a nostalgic trip! I remember devouring these books as a kid, completely obsessed with the wild cat clans. You can find them pretty much anywhere books are sold—your local bookstore probably has them, or you can check big chains like Barnes & Noble. Online, Amazon’s a solid bet, especially if you want the whole series in one go. I’ve also seen them at used bookstores, which is great if you’re hunting for older editions. Don’t forget digital options like Kindle or audiobook versions if you prefer listening to the drama unfold.
If you’re into supporting indie shops, Bookshop.org is a fantastic alternative to Amazon, and they ship fast. Libraries are another underrated spot—some even have the graphic novel adaptations, which are gorgeous. Honestly, half the fun is tracking down different editions; the cover art changes over the years are so cool to compare. My personal favorite is the original 'Into the Wild' cover—it just screams early 2000s vibes.

Honestly, a lot of people will tell you to start with the very first book, 'Into the Wild'. And that's fine, it's the classic starting point. But I tried that with a friend last year and she just couldn't get into it—the writing felt a little too simple for her, she's used to more complex stuff. I ended up telling her to jump ahead and begin with the second arc, 'The New Prophecy', specifically 'Midnight'. The stakes feel higher right away, the journey concept is immediately gripping, and the characters are a bit more developed. She blasted through that whole series and then went back and read the original 'Warriors' arc with way more appreciation because she was already invested in the world.
Starting with 'The New Prophecy' skips the sometimes slower clan-establishing stuff and gets you straight into a big, dangerous mystery. You might miss some references, but nothing crucial, and the books do a decent job filling you in. It's like a backdoor into the fandom that works surprisingly well.
