All of my content ratings need to be viewed with the lens "this is about cats who act very human at times"

River Ripple is still my favorite character. His mere presence transforms the vibe of every scene he’s in, I love him.

Tom was an interesting and good antagonist though. Like Clear Sky, he’s a manipulative abuser and is well written in that aspect. Talking about antagonists, I didn’t like that we got Clear Sky’s perspective just because we should feel sorry for him. There are other and better stylistic devices with which this can be achieved. I don’t care for Clear Sky at all, so his chapters were my least favorite thing about the book.
Even though The First Battle had its problems plot wise in the first two thirds, the ending was amazing and probably my favorite moment from Dawn of the Clans:
Just to give some thoughts on a few characters in the end: I’m so annoyed by the ableism towards Jagged Peak, which is sadly a recurring problem in the Warriors series. I still dislike Turtle’s Tail, she is almost as annoying as Spottedleaf:
I enjoyed this book not as much as Thunder Rising, since here, the characters act more stupid, and the plot seems to go in circles at some points. But the ending is so amazing that I still gave four stars.
