this does not need to be this long omfg, i swear half of it could be removed and nothing would change. ik this was written after the third series or something, even tho its chronologically right after the first, so they kinda had to add some things in to provide more context for the second series but still. i also just feel like literally nothing was actually explained? like yea firestar has to bring back this clan and right the wrongs that happened but like,,,, why? its not like the new clan can live in the forest so theres kinda no actual reason for it imo. and even moreso, if they cant really interact with the other clans, theres basically no point for them to live like the rest of the clans and follow the exact same rules.
the spottedleaf thing was already bad but its so much worse in Firestars Quest. that one scene where spottedleaf is so unnecessary???? theyre completely forcing that relationship for literally no reason. i hate heteronormativity. so much.
idk who tf decided to name their cat but i desperately want to meet them i love it greatly. because of that, i really hate that the new clan cats
all in all, there are really good points in the book, but it just dragged way too long and i still think firestar and sandstorm are hella annoying.

Im Prinzip war es ganz interessant zu sehen wie Feuerstern einen neuen Clan aufbaut, aber ich mag die main story Reihe um einiges mehr. Es ist an einigen Stellen etwas langgezogen und uninteressant, vor allem am Anfang. Das Ende war jedoch spannend und nervenaufreibend. Ich mag Sandsturm gar nicht und sie geht mir die meiste Zeit auf die Nerven. Warum ist Tüpfelblatt gestorben 🥲
