This close to my favorite series I’ve read within warriors so far but the conclusion of the saga I found a little disappointing. I am interested to see where the next series picks up, but the antagonist, and the familiar return to other locations felt a little repetitive.

who does Hollyleaf think she is? the only cat ever to have parents in two clans, the only cat ever to have a medicine cat for a mother, the only cat ever who's birth went against the warrior code? you are not that special and unique, get a grip!!!!!

I had very high hopes for this book before picking it up, as the book before was a 5 stars. It’s just another traveling book with a bit of lore. Since i have been in this fandom for almost 5 years, the Power of Three arc has already been spoiled for me, but i still enjoyed reading the arc as a whole. I expected a lot more out of Sol, he was just kind of underwhelming, same with the reveal of Hollyleaf’s death. Felt very rushed. Since i am very much a completionist, i still plan on picking up the next book, and finishing the next arc. Overall this book was a 3.5 stars.

this entire arc is kind of a mess!! like it has a lot of interesting things going on but outcast was such a SLOW book that it really kinda disrupted... everything? and i remember being so ANNOYED when i was younger because it's called the power of three but

the third cat isn't even born until the <i>end</i> of the whole arc!

 

anyway, i have a lot of different thoughts about this arc after re-reading several years later? for one, it's not nearly as bad as i remembered. yeah, it's still frustrating, but jayfeather wasn't as annoying as i used to think, and hollyleaf was way more interesting than i originally gave her credit for.

i do wish they did <i>more</i> with jayfeather & lionblaze exploring/developing their powers. i mean, an apprentice who is destined to always win? who flies into somewhat of a fury? lionblaze has a handle on his powers <i>way</i> too easily and i wish they'd made it a bit challenging for him instead of him just being like "yeah i am the best and i will always win so i am going to take on this pack of dogs and it will be fine"

overall this arc had good ideas but needed a bit of pruning. i don't think the events in outcast needed their own book & all of the threads in this could have been tied together a bit more nicely.

Honestly, the first half of the book was boring. i just skimmed through it mostly. But once the secret was out, things started rising. Hollyleaf was so stupid, i cannot believe she did that to poor brambleclaw and squirellflight and leafpool.
