When I explain the spin-offs to newer fans, I usually give a compact map: there are Super Editions (long, single-character books like 'Firestar's Quest' and 'Bluestar's Prophecy'), novella/e‑shorts (quick reads that fill gaps or show side moments), manga series (like the 'Graystripe's Adventure' and 'Ravenpaw's Path' trilogies), and then guidebooks or companion volumes that collect lore and profiles.

Beyond the core arcs, those Super Editions are the biggest story extras—think of them as director’s-cut episodes. The novellas are tiny but tasty: they’ll give you a moment with a favorite or explain an off-screen event. Manga trilogies let you see the world visually and often follow characters after they leave the main storyline. For tracking everything, a publisher list or trusted fan bibliography is the safest route, because there have been charity e-releases and limited digital novellas that are easy to miss. Personally, I start with a Super Edition if I’m craving a deeper dive, and save novellas for between big reads so I don’t burn out on long arcs.

As someone who’s spent rainy afternoons rereading Clan maps and arguing about which warrior deserved better, I get why you’d want a clear rundown of the spin-offs and novellas around the 'Warriors' world. The franchise branches out a lot, but it’s easiest to think in categories: Super Editions (long standalone books about a single cat), novellas/e‑stories (shorter character-focused tales, often digital), manga trilogies (graphic stories that expand side characters’ arcs), and companion/guidebooks that dig into lore and clan history.

For Super Editions, some of the best-known ones are 'Firestar's Quest' and 'Bluestar's Prophecy'—these are hefty, focused novels that feel like mini-arcs and give depth to fan-favorite leaders. 'SkyClan's Destiny' and 'Bramblestar's Storm' are similar longer titles that focus on single characters and big events. Novellas and e‑shorts often fill in little moments between main books: the releases can include heartbreaking or funny side-stories about apprentices, loners, and medicine cats. One memorable short-story/manga hybrid is 'The Rise of Scourge', which explores Scourge’s grim past.

On the manga side, there are a number of trilogies that spin off from the main continuity—'Graystripe's Adventure' and 'Ravenpaw's Path' come to mind as trilogies that follow characters after they leave the clan setting, plus other manga arcs that focus on characters the novels only touch on. If you want a full checklist, the official 'Warriors' site and fan-maintained bibliographies (and paperback back covers) have thorough, up-to-date lists. Personally, I love mixing a Super Edition between main arc books; it feels like a cinematic side quest and keeps the world feeling lived-in.

I still get excited when I find a little novella I missed hiding between the big arcs. If you’re exploring everything beyond the eight-book arcs, here’s how I break it down when I recommend stuff to friends: Super Editions are the big standalone reads, novellas are short and quick character slices, mangas are graphic-novel trilogies or stories that follow secondary characters, and guidebooks/companion volumes give the in-world mythos and clan rules.

Some titles that I’d point out right away are 'Firestar's Quest' (a classic Super Edition if you want a follow-up adventure), 'Bluestar's Prophecy' (great for Bluestar fans), and 'SkyClan's Destiny' (a Super Edition focusing on SkyClan’s return). For the shorter reads and manga, 'Graystripe's Adventure' and 'Ravenpaw's Path' are great examples of manga spin-offs that expand side characters’ lives, and 'The Rise of Scourge' fills in backstory you don’t get in the main arcs. There are also lots of tiny e-novellas—some were released as exclusive short downloads—covering everything from kittens’ antics to grim origin stories.

If you want specifics to collect, try a bibliographic page or a community list; I’ve used a few fan wikis and the publisher pages to make sure I didn’t miss limited e-releases. It’s fun to slot a novella between two big volumes—the pacing changes and you get character moments that the main arcs skip over. That little extra detail can completely reframe a character for me, so I always keep an eye out for the short stuff.

How many books are in the warriors series?

I still get a little giddy when someone asks about 'Warriors'—it’s such a sprawling, comforting rabbit hole. If you mean the core saga (the numbered story arcs), there are eight arcs with six books each, so that’s 48 novels in the main line: six-book arcs like 'The Prophecies Begin', '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'. Those are the backbone of the series and where most readers start and stay for the long haul. Beyond the main arcs, the world keeps growing: there are multiple super editions (longer standalone books), tons of novellas and short-story collections, several field guides and encyclopedic companion books, plus manga and graphic novels that expand side characters and earlier eras. Depending on which of those you count, the total climbs well past seventy books—many collectors say the full 'Warriors' universe numbers around 80–90 books. If you want a precise, up-to-the-minute total, checking the official site or a fan wiki is the quickest route, since new releases and editions pop up from time to time. Personally, I love the variety: you can binge the main arcs or sip the side stories between big battles.

Which reading order should I follow for the warriors series?

When I first dove back into the world of cats, I learned the hard way that how you read 'Warriors' changes the whole vibe of the story. If you want my enthusiastic vote: start with publication order. That means reading the arcs as they came out — 'The Prophecies Begin', then 'The New Prophecy', 'Power of Three', 'Omen of the Stars', 'Dawn of the Clans', 'A Vision of Shadows', 'The Broken Code', and then the newest arcs. Publication order preserves the pacing, reveals, and emotional beats Erin Hunter built, so plot twists land the way they were meant to. I personally did this with a friend and we kept texting each other after cliffhangers for days — it’s a whole mood. Super editions, novellas, and field guides are best sprinkled in when they match the timeline or when you want a breather. For example, read character super editions around the arcs where those characters are important, and slot novellas either between arcs or after finishing an arc to avoid spoiling future events. Manga can be a fun side trip: most manga are stand-alone or adapt small parts, so I read them between arcs as palate cleansers. If you like lore, pause for 'Secrets of the Clans' or 'Code of the Clans' — they’re delightful detours that deepen StarClan and Clan history. If you want a different experience, chronological order gives origin context (especially for 'Dawn of the Clans'), but for a first-time read I swear by publication order. It made my first re-read feel like visiting old friends with better understanding, and it’s how most long-time readers still recommend it.
