A good finale for the first series of Warriors.

Did kinda think it was odd how there was a new villain for like, the last 10% of the book, but it wasn't Terrible. Might have been a little better if he wasn't introduced and killed off in the last book.

love how literally nothing is explained lol. like i know theres a whole prequel series and some standalones that hopefully explain why the clans have to be separate and stuff but its real annoying reading them when you dont have that knowledge cause they could absolutely live in harmony. 

ive complained that firehearts whole thing with spottedleaf felt hella forced and its just even more so in this one.  the whole
Spoiler“she died before we could confess our feelings” and “im glad she approves of sandstorm cause now i dont have to worry about betraying her” like sir????????? you interacted with her maybe like twice when she was alive??? theres no feelings there wtf are you talking about????? and shes a medicine cat so she isnt even allowed to be with him on the immensely small off chance that she did like him back????
also firehearts mommy issues really just pop off like every time he mentions her ngl

imo the ending felt real anticlimactic? like yea the
Spoilerbattle with bloodclan
was cool, but everything after felt kinda meh.

the redeeming factor was the fact that we got more ravenpaw content and i love that lil man. 

i listened to the audiobook by MacLeod Andrews and he actually meows sometimes and it is actually the funniest thing in existence, 10/10 would highly recommend

I think this was a great ending to the original arc! The pacing was really good and the Erin's did not hold back when it came to morbidity which really emphasised how serious this threat was compared to antagonists in the previous books. While there was a large cast in this book, it was pretty easy to follow along who was who. It's set itself up nicely for both the second arc as well as the special edition in between the two- Firestar's Quest.
