Re: Where did Erin Hunter lose your interest and why?
My interest was lost at Vision of Shadows, I still read the books and continue to do so but Vision of Shadows seems....bleh. Having yet another cat with powers in the series is honestly unoriginal at this point and Skyclan joining the other clans is creating more problems for the series then there should honestly be. They pretty much destroyed shadowclan which upset me and the main characters of this series are honestly just unappealing to me.

Re: Where did Erin Hunter lose your interest and why?
I'm not going to vote only cause I have kind of a weird answer...
I actually started reading warriors from The New prophecy so those were all characters I knew and liked but honestly, I found going to the first series a bit boring (I still haven't finished reading the first series yet)
Dawn of the Clans and New prophecy are actually two of my favourite series! (Even though some parts of Dawn of the clans bored me, 98% of it was exciting from start to finish!)
There were some parts of Power of three that bored me but I just finished book 6 today and it wasn't too bad. Obviously, I haven't read Omen of the stars yet so I don't know what it's like, I'm just excited for last hope. And as for the new series...I am no were near it so...
You know what? Imma just put The prophecies begin cause I find it really hard to sit and read it's just pretty boring to me and there's no clear...thing it's building up to (I know it's meant to be scourge and blood clan and Tigerstar etc. but it takes a while to pick up) but yeah I don't really like the original series.

Re: Where did Erin Hunter lose your interest and why?
I think it was the introduction of 'powers' that killed it for me, and reincarnations. Don't get
me wrong, those types of plots are exciting to read about - but in a group of wild cats? I do understand that
there is a bit of a magical element to it with leaders receiving nine lives, but the ability to enter a battle unscathed,
or to sense things far, far away, or to literally mind read another... it just lost the traditional and daily-plot-driven
scenarios that the first series created so beautifully.

Re: Where did Erin Hunter lose your interest and why?
The end of the new prophecy and in all honesty the first two series where the better of the bunch in a whole array of different aspects. Still o read on until I hit the first book with alderpaw in it and I just got too sad to really continue on. I naturally wanted to know what happened in the end being the young kid I was when I picked up those books. Now I find myself struggling to really pick up the 5 extra editions that I’ve bought but never read, I started a chapter on moth flights vision and put it down. Something about the cliche cats killed it for me but I still adored bluestars prophecy and- maybe firestars Journey was ok. Skyclans destiny though I blazed through, anyways I stopped at the end of the new prophecy and never found a love for the rest of the books like I had when I fell in love withthe first two series.

Re: Where did Erin Hunter lose your interest and why?
They lost me at Omen of the stars. The story progression was killing me with it's terrible cringe and so I permanently put the series down on the 3rd book. If it is still worth reading, somebody please tell me so I can skip there...

Re: Where did Erin Hunter lose your interest and why?
I haven't been able to finish the Power of Three. It made me lose interest so quickly that I just,, couldn't continue. Been stuck trying to finish 'Eclipse' for the past 3 years...

I've finished Eclipse earlier this month and I don't even think I'll be able to get through 'Long Shadows' and 'Sunrise'. But I know reading them is the only way to properly advance through the series/arcs.

I actually lost interest and stopped reading after Bramblestar's Storm.

Re: Where did Erin Hunter lose your interest and why?
Ignoring the bad writing/communication of the Erins, I lost interest at the end of the Power Of Three, and the beginning of Omen of the Stars, though I finished it, hoping it would get better, and while there are a few key moments that made me think it would get better, it overall went downhill from there. I never any of them after that.

Re: Where did Erin Hunter lose your interest and why?
It was the new prophecy for me. I kind of wish she told the story one firestar's side that would make it more interesting but it was fine every where else it was just there that got me
