There's not much to say about this field guide apart from it was a compilation of the Warrior Code with short stories explaining why each rule came into place. The stories were too short to really comment on the writing but it was a nice compilation to read.

I loved the explanations, about the codes. It makes much more sense now. I was always wondering why a certain code existed. There are some spoiler for later books, so don't read this one to soon.

Code of the Clans is a collection of very quick stories telling how each rule of the warrior code (the laws that Clan cats live by) came to be. My only issue with the book is how extremely quick the stories are, and there's no effort at all to flesh out any of the characters -- but I also know that that's kinda the only way this could be written, without making it a massive novel. Each law has a couple of stories, one telling how that law was created, using cats from the very early Clan days, and one showing how the law works in more recent Clan times, often featuring younger versions of cats that are a bit older in Into the Wild. It's far from the best book in the overall series, but it is a fun read and it's nice to see how the code was created.

I loved this book. I still think that the code is flawed but this was still a nice read. I enjoyed the illustrations and I loved reading more about certain characters, both the ones we meet in the original series and completely new ones that were never seen before.
I still think that the code is flawed though and I love that not every cat blindly agrees with each new rule that was introduced. I like that cats actually stand up and question some of the rules that should be questioned like the one where the leader's word is law and everybody should just blindly obey them and I love that some of these stricter rules are now not so strictly enforced.

Meine Meinung
Allgemein
"Die Welt der Clans" ist ein kurzes Zusatzbuch zu der Hauptstory, welche einige Dinge über das Clanleben erklären sollen. In "Das Gesetz der Krieger" werden hierbei die 15 Gesetze und deren Hintergründe erläutert. Dies geschieht in vielen kleinen Kurzgeschichten, aus jeder erdenklichen Generation. Von den bekannten Katzen, über Katzen aus Erzählungen, bis hin zu denen, die schon solange nicht mehr leben, dass sie nur in besagten Gesetzgeschichten auftreten.
Untermalt werden die Kurzgeschichten mit jeweils farbigen Illustrierten. Meistens hat man durch das Bild noch keinen Schimmer, wodurch das Gesetz zustande kam, doch nach dem Kapitel ergibt es Sinn. Es verrät somit nicht zu viel, veranschaulicht jedoch sehr schön.
Charaktere
Die Charaktere wechseln sich in jedem Kapitel ab. Dadurch bekommt man ein schönes Gefühl davon, dass das Gesetz der Krieger nicht an einem Tag entstanden ist, sondern schon lange Traditionen pflegt.
Für jede der Katzen hat sich das Hunter-Team einen neuen Charakter ausgedacht. Jede von Ihnen ist einzigartig und meistens ist dies auch der Grund für die Gesetzänderungen.
Schreibstil & Sichtweise
Am Anfang des Buches wird man von Blattpfote - der Heilerschülerin - eingeladen, sich hinzusetzen und ihren Erzählungen zu lauschen. Sie spricht direkt zu einem, was eine neue Erfahrung für langzeitige Warrior Fans ist.
Die Geschichten hingegen werden wie gewohnt aus der 3. Person der jeweiligen Katze geschrieben.
Trotz der Kürze des Buches büßt der Schreibstil nicht ein und man findet sich praktisch im Buch wieder.
Cover & Titel
Das Cover ist diesmal ohne wirklichen Hintergrund gestaltet, was natürlich auch schwer ist, da es nicht nur um eine Handlung geht.
Der Titel ist eher sachlich gewählt und trifft somit den Inhalt auf den Punkt.
Zitat
"Das Gesetz der Krieger lebt in unseren Herzen, sein Blut fließt in den Adern unter unserem Pelz." - Seite 225
Fazit
Ein sehr schöner Begleiter zu der Hauptreihe. Wer ein Fan von den Abenteuern der Warrior Cats ist, dem kann ich dieses Buch nur empfehlen.

Rating: 7 out of 10
As a Field Guide and not a main series installment / novella / Super Edition, this book isn't what you'd call a typical story. Instead, it's a compilation of more than thirty short tales, each two of them explaining the creation of one code the warrior cats live by.
All these stories were very interesting and fun to read! While some where better than others, all of them were original and special in their own way. I really enjoyed the idea of the warrior code being created piece by piece throughout many generations!
The pages also have beautiful illustrations to go along with the stories! The pictures were skillfully drawn and even though I read the ebook edition, I could appreciate the work put into them.
I'm not sure whether this is a mistake from my edition only or from the book in general, but some of the images didn't really make sense in the context of the story they were put in? Again, this is probably just an ebook issue but it still bugged me a bit.
Of course, such as the one before, there were some things I didn't like. Though this book was written way before Dawn of the Clans (the arc focused on the creation of the warrior clans) the first pages, which talk about these same events, don't match completely with what the books tell us.
This may be only my personal opinion, but the stories didn't really need to name so many characters! They could've been referred to as just warriors of their clan or not referred to at all. Some of the names were very good, don't get me wrong, but at times they were a bit hard to remember and distracted me from the story.
However, in general, I found this book to be a delightful read! It was very interesting finding out how the warrior code came to be, and the tales present in the compilation were all so fun I'm pretty sure I'll come back to them in the near future!
