Slightly better than the first book, but I still feel like nothing really happened? There were two major events in the whole book - the falling tree in ThunderClan and the end battle. Other than those, the book was pretty slow.

I will say that I felt a lot more in this one than I have for a while in the series.

I was really upset when Longtail died. I didn't realize how attached I was to him! Even though he was in the Elder's den and his days were numbered, he wasn't super old. I'm going to miss the blind warrior :( I'm mostly upset on Mousefur's behalf, (who I am quite attached to because she's fiesty AF) who lost her best friend. I worry that she'll die in the next book and I love her!!

Firestar losing a life didn't really affect me this time. Usually I feel something when he loses a life because I know he's that much closer to true death. I still think I'm gonna be fucked up when he dies for real though, which I'm afraid is coming very soon...

I really didn't like the direction that Ivypaw's character took. She's not evil or anything, but it bothers me that she's acting so naive and bringing death into ThunderClan through her naivety. Can the Tigerstar plotline just be done already?! I'm so sick of him *sighs*

WTFF Firestar having only 2 lives left ? Ivypaw being a dumb jealous brat ? The chosen 3 being idiots and not using their powers for good

I really enjoyed the 2nd book of the fourth series. I especially found the

very emotional. Also, I love the growing tension of the Dark Forest/ Place of no stars and I’m very exited what will happen next within the series. Also, the end had me screaming when Firestar

Fading Echoes makes me wish I'd read this arc in order with the others. I first met Dovepaw and Ivypaw as warriors in later books, and I couldn't bring myself to like them very much, particularly Dovepaw. Seeing them younger in this book, I really enjoy the dynamic of them starting their apprenticeship with the idea that they'll remain super close friends, and then watching them mature and grow apart due to a number of reasons. Dovepaw is a great character now, and I'm interested to see what exactly makes her change so much between here and Tigerheart's Shadow, which is where I first read a lot about her.

In this book, The Three struggle with the knowledge that the Dark Forest is rising up against StarClan and against the living Clan cats. This ends the book with a very interesting battle scene, in which

Also in this book, a tree falls into the ThunderClan camp,

, which was tragic and very emotional. It was a surprise event and I think it was done well.
