This was a super fun Field Guide and I definitely prefer it over Cats of the Clans. Minus one star for some of the series' worst continuity mistakes though. Tigerstar was killed by... "Blood"? Riiiighhhtt...

There was a nice variety in this book. It was nice to read some first-person perspective shorts from non-main characters. This was a nice clear reference guide for someone who may not quite understand the heavy lore of the series, or just for someone who wants to read a few extra stories and have everything in one place.

Secrets has aged pretty well, though there are now some parts of it that clash with current canon, such as SkyClan never being mentioned in the origin story with the original leaders, and small things such as but these are probably just issues with timing -- when this book came out, the whole Dawn of the Clans arc was nowhere near existence.
The book goes in-depth on things that were not detailed in the novels themselves at that time, such as the entire warrior code, some of the legends that the Clan cats tell, and some interesting first-person perspectives of prophecies and events from characters whose points of view we've never seen before.
Overall, a must-have for any Warriors fan, even if you don't have any of the other field guides.
