There's two books in the series so far, and they're named The Spinner Prince and The Four Guardians [size=2]unfortunately there's been no news of the third book, as far as I'm aware, so it's kinda on a cliffhanger right now... please I need the third book to come out I love this series so much[/size] anddd the second one is Crookedstar's Promise by Erin Hunter! It's one of the special editions of the Warrior Cats series, so you can probably get away with reading it even if you haven't read any of the other books (it was one of the first Warriors books I'd read, I don't think I'd even read all of The Prophecies Begin at that point)

[quote name="@Fishes" date="2025-04-07 13:06:05" ] [quote name="@/ravenleap" date="2025-04-06 11:43:15" ] - kids getting trained to battle in a space station in the sky [/quote] Is this Ender's Game? [/quote] yup, you got it! :D

Democracy hasn't been invented yet so instead of sitting down and having an election like civilized people, three nepo babies drag the entire continent into a decades-long war until one of them bribes the mysterious isolationists who won't stop hyping themselves up as the pinnacle of existence into puppetmastering a gang of kidnapped children who've spent their entire lives being told they're weak and worthless into picking her as the winner in exchange for her help in wiping out the local hippie commune and taking their land 'cuz the isolationists are personally offended that the hippies are stronger than them.

Then the kidnapped children open a school and the neighborhood psychic starts talking to an ancient wizard who convinces her to find his magical MacGuffin so he can break out of the prison his ex-wife and their other wizard friend locked him in centuries ago, but nobody cares about that 'cuz the psychic is also trapped in a Twilight love triangle with the class clown and Icebender AU Zuko that only ends with the class clown winning 'cuz Icebender AU Zuko's character development got thrown out at the last minute and yes I'm still salty about it, how could you tell.

Then it's a hodgepodge of events including a speedrun of The Lego Movie, a soap opera plotline mixed with a religious drama about the ancient wizard's ex-wife from earlier, Romeo and Juliet with lesbian Loraxes, a quick detour to check in on Icebender AU Zuko's cousin for a second, and the evil plant from Little Shop of Horrors being controlled by a five-thousand-year-old dead child and the dude who's singlehandedly responsible for humans being usurped as the dominant species 'cuz he was trying to be the bad guy from How to Train Your Dragon 2.

a sentient onion steps on a sentient lemon's foot (the lemon is royalty btw) and everything spirals into insanity from there, also the rats who live in the palace dungeons have a society, tomatoes are pure evil and there is a carrot who is the walmart version of Sherlock Holmes. oh and there's a mole who is an absolute icon that I'd sell my soul to

if anyone actually gets this I will be very impressed

@Cyrith Wings of Fire.

It was orange, and I think it had a turtle on the cover?

@GirlGamer1001 oh. OH.

@Cyrith Yeah, it sounds a lot more insane when you leave out the crucial detail of it being about dragons. For some reason children's fantasy seems to get away with a lot more stuff that would normally get an R rating slapped on it when all the characters are talking animals. Just look at Warriors.
