This book wasn’t BAD but it definitely wasn’t interesting. what is it with warriors and traveling arcs? they are boring!! anyway, Alderpaw and Needlepaw are the only interesting new characters. I don’t really care for Sparkpaw all that much she’s kinda annoying. I like Alderpaw’s anxiety and self consciousness as a character trait because basically all the other characters fall flat. the issue is this is literally just A New Prophecy but…a bit worse. Cherryfall, Molewhisker, and Sparkpaw are so flat compared to let’s say Feathertail, Crowpaw, and even Squilf. I WAS very saddened by Sandstorm’s death. It felt just a bit unnecessary and maybe she should’ve died in battle where, like she said, is better than withering away in the elders den. but alas, hopefully the other books will take a step up from this.
