They’re finally done travelling and they’ve settled down and we’re back to normal clan life with normal clan worries, WE’RE SO BACK! 

Leafpool CARRIED this book, she found the moonpool, found out Mothwing doesn’t believe in Starclan, fell in love and all the worries around her role - I love her so much. 

Brambleclaw is starting to get on my nerves though, how can one cat be so gullible and self absorbed. “When I become deputy-“ why is he so sure he’s the best candidate?? The experience he has from travelling to the sun-drown-place won’t help in day to day clan life, he’s snappy and doesn’t think before he reacts, there are many older warriors better suited as deputy. 

And don’t get me started on the Hawkfrost drama, how on earth can he trust a cat he doesn’t even know over the cat he’s spent MONTHS risking his life with!? Squirrelflight is so based for calling him out, and he’s being such an asshole to her. Keeps bringing up his father as if that matters! 

Mudclaw had nothing to gain from lying, Hawkfrost had everything to lose from Mudclaw spilling the truth. It’s unbelievable that everyone just blindly trusted Hawkfrost when he switched sides at the very end. 

Squirrelflight just can’t do anything right in Brambleclaw’s eyes it seems, if she’s snarky she’s bad, if she’s sympathetic she’s bad, if she ignores it she’s bad. Good god, she deserves so much better than Brambleclaw. 

Rereading these books is honestly such a fun experience, knowing what happens really changes the way you view characters and their actions.
