In terms of story and writing, how is the series? Do you recommend reading it?

without letting the plot affect my answer, i'll have to agree that it is one of the better written arcs. it's pretty good.

DOTC is one of the best arcs imo, it's a breath of fresh air, it has a new cast of new and interesting characters, so those TNP cats aren't always being shoved in your face.

No generic tropes done over and over, a fresh cast, a new perspective in a completely different time with new villains... yeah it easily trumps all other arcs except TPB of course. I 100% recommend

im.... genuinely surprised how positive the response so far is. i personally thought dawn of the clans was dull. i could barely finish the second book and did not continue. i think in terms of depicting the legendary start of the clans, it was lackluster and didn't live up to my expectations.

The writing is quite consistent but in terms of story I though that the first half was better than the second one, except for the ending which was bittersweet perfection.

I love DoTC and would recommend it. It's better in the character category than it is in plot, and the first two books are slightly more boring, but a lot of good characters are from this arc. I would definitely recommend to read it.

It's my favorite! There are new and special characters, and great stories! The villan is (kind of) one of the pov, and it's interesting to see that. The romance isn't as good, though:good ships always end bad, and cute ships that seems to come true just didn't (GIVE ME THUNDERLIGHTNING!)

Def worth the read, new cast was definitely a highlight, especially after following the same characters for 24 books. Also an interesting group dynamic in comparison to the clans we normally see.

Fantastic, though the last two books certainly could've been better.

DOTC is pretty good. As an arc very far detached from the modern Clans, I found that it was a great re-entry point into the series after a long absence. Since the cast is relatively small, the majority of them get some strong characterization.
Unfortunately, the series peaks at The First Battle (which is a fantastic read) and just goes downhill from there. If you're attached to the characters then I think that it's worth sticking around through the latter half of the arc, but the stakes are much lower from then on. If you find yourself getting bored by the latter three books, I'd recommend skipping to the last few chapters of Path of Stars. The final chapter of that book is an absolutely perfect send-off.

I'm personally not a fan of it, but I do recommend it for the characters and concept alone.

I remember having a Modicum of Interest when The Sun trial was first released , thinking it would be refreshing to read about a whole new cast of Characters and See if the Erins would actually make a good Story this time (after the horrible mess that was PoT and OoTS ) only for every Ounce of interest to be immediately siphoned Dry as soon as I looked at the Allegiance and Saw half moon and realized that the Founders were Related to the Tribe of rushing water this Whole time ? ( which I guess explains why the Clans are no longer distinctively unique from eachother , since they all share the same genetics ? Makes total sense now). Which my Brain adamantly refused this Idea .(and I suppose with all the lore and backstory of the Ancients leaving the lake , forming the tribe in the mountains , only makes since to make them connected to the clans this whole time). And I found it very perplexing to think , that the ancients left the lake because Food was becoming too scarce , cause of twolegs , so they head to the mountains , only for shortly afterwards to start experiencing the same problems , with the addition of worse predators , harsher weather etc . so some cats leave the tribe to find the forest , eventually the clans are founded , and then generations later , after twolegs become a threat again . There ancestors send them a prophecy to find a New home……by returning to the lake that there ancestors inhabited Generations ago , and had had problems before ? Cause I guess the twolegs aren’t present anymore ? . Doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to me , but okay . Now I’ve only read the first book , and about a third of the 2nd book , both of which I didn’t find very good imo. But since I’ve heard so many Great things about it from the Fandom , I’ve Decided to order all the Books , and once I get through the last 1/3rd of Veil of shadows , and the other 2 books of TBC , and Leopardstars Honor, and ALiTM which my pre-ordered copy will have arrived by then , concluding TBC i Plan on Reading through all of DoTC to escape the stagnant , predictable , non-progressive Nature that the main series has been in for the last 3 Arcs .who Knows maybe my opinion will be more positive this Time . But as my opinion stands right now , wouldn’t recommend . Could change though
