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.
