Like its name suggests, Tigerclaw’s Fury is a Warriors novella about the life of Tigerclaw between Forest of Secrets and Rising Storm. When we get the perspective of him, he seems to be even more evil that I expected him to. His POV was written well and depicted this evilness in a good way. I found this cliché voice in his head a bit weird though and it became even weirder when we get to know that it is Mapleshade. Like, can cats maybe be evil without her being behind it? It becomes boring .
I’m always a bit biased in my rating when it comes to the first arc of Warriors because I lost my heart to it. I just love to see more of cats like Blackfoot and of old ShadowClan. It was interesting to see how Tigerclaw was able to slowly earn the trust of this broken ShadowClan.
I probably sound like a broken record talking about this again and again, but we have here again some retcons, and mistakes like in so many bonus Warriors stories. Here, Runningnose is depicted as being a fan of Tigerclaw but in The Ultimate Guide, the opposite is shown. Also, where is Sasha? I don’t remember the timeline fully, but I think they meet around this time. Nevertheless, I enjoyed Tigerclaw’s Fury more than many other Warriors bonus stories.
