a good second book in this series. 

hollypaw needs to chill god damn not everything has to adhere to the warrior code !!! 

also i’m kind of getting tired of the same old romeo and juliet romance thing that happens literally every book. lionpaw and heatherpaw’s lil fling was honestly just played out. ive stopped caring about these relationships because there’s a new one literally every book. never ends well ! 

jaypaw alludes me. i’m unsure if he’s a good or bad person. i guess only time will tell, but i have a feeling there’s something he’s going to do that’ll really fuck a lot of things up. 

the cinderpaw/cinderpelt storyline kind of upsets me, i guess i understand why they put it in there. they wanted to give cinderpelt what she “never had” because of her accident but dare i say it takes away from her original story to just have her reincarnate. she wanted one thing but she held a different path and her growth came from accepting it and realizing how strong she was despite her injury. she was a good medicine cat, should’ve been left as it was. 

firestar, king, you’re perfect. never change sweetie xoxoxoxoxo
