Warriors Covers: Chinese

Chinese covers for the Warriors: First Arc series has been released (and has been for a while actually)! Also, two of the covers from Warriors: The New Prophecy have been released as well. Here they are below:


My Comments:
Into the Wild: I like this cover a lot, probably because Rusty/Firepaw is a tabby in this one instead of an all ginger cat, the way I imagined him (but he was a little more orange in my imagination). The two cats next to him are Lionheart (one with the mane) and Bluestar (blue-ish cat). The head at the bottom is Rusty/Firepaw, and I believe that the shadow behind the smaller version of the apprentice is a metaphorical way of presenting Tigerclaw, at first the unknown enemy.
Fire and Ice: The cover seems to show Fireheart fighting a RiverClan warrior, and Graystripe in the back doing the same. I think this is the time when the two warriors have to pass through RiverClan after bringing WindClan home from their exile.
Forest of Secrets: Not much different than the original book cover.
Rising Storm: I like this book cover, considering it's very different than the original cover for rising storm. But, like in the original cover, Fireheart is being stalked by Tigerclaw, now exiled from ThunderClan, as he tried to lead a group of rogues to kill Bluestar. The cover features Fireheart, Bluestar (left of Fireheart), Graystripe (right of Fireheart), Tigerclaw (behind Fireheart), and other ThunderClan cats, watching helplessly from RiverClan as their territory burns away.
A Dangerous Path: This is my absolute favourite cover out of all of the Chinese covers. This features Tigerclaw/Tigerstar's half-trained dog pack on the top, and ThunderClan warriors standing their ground, ready to fight. I think in the front of the group is either Bluestar or Fireheart.
Darkest Hour: This cover is also much better than the American version, mostly because it has a lot more meaning to it, in a way. The cover features Firestar's vision when he bends over to get a drink and a lion shows in his reflection, and Firestar and Scourge (leader of BloodClan) facing each other. In the background, you can see the faded silhouettes of four cats.
Midnight and Moonrise: Almost exactly the same. I like the look and feel of the cats better in these versions though.
