Mmm. And it’s not just the new words, though it is really overkill. The whole writing style is different, I think it’s because you can’t really tell what the surroundings are like because the dog is too into itself. At least it means YS might have some more time to go through editing (Though I saw in the except that in the Prologue the gender blender had got to work on Hawkheart. Serves him right for what he did to Moonflower)

Die, Hawkheart! xD
You would think that they would at least give us some information to help us figure out those words, like they did in Seekers and Warriors. Firebeast and Monster isn't too hard to figure out.

The thing is, Survivors is not exactly popular with warrior fans at the moment. Of the Warriors Forums, the entire 40 pages of the Survivors Excerpt thread was filled with the same thing - "choppy, inconsistent, too many dog terms." Warrior fans are not happy with HarperCollins. Mostly because they are using a completely different group of authors (one is called Gillan Phillip or something) with different writing styles, but they are using the same pen name. That does not bother me, because HC owns the pen name and can use it how they wish. What makes everyone mad is how it says on The Empty City, "From the nation's Bestselling Warrior's Series!" which is completely untrue. Using their pen name is one thing, but claiming that the same authors wrote it is just downright lying. HarperCollins is doing that so people will think 'Oh, I loved the Warriors & Seekers Series! This will be great too!' and it's not. They're using all the credit and hard work of the Erins to make money off a new book.

Now i am 100% sure i will never touch the survivor book...... i hope it crashes and burns!

Yeah. >.> It's really annoying, because their styles are different. It's confusing. Blackbolt- I love Seekers.

Yeah, a lot of Warrior fans swear they'll never buy the books. The plan is, hopefully, HC will see that nobody really likes the books and will end the series...
