Never thought a short story about such very minor character would be such a tearjerker. Well, it is Erin Hunter.

This one was better than the last one ... the story is different, I loved the boat scenes but the art is still bothering me.

I'm not usually one to go "Nnng my feels!" for a little spin off manga... but, nnng, my feels! Captain and Sasha make me really happy. <3

We follow Sasha in the second manga this cool warriors trilogy - she has rejected clan life and tigerstar's evil plots and plans, and she struggles with life as loner. I liked it and found it very good. Here are some comments about the book -
A review from Publishers Weekly was positive commenting on girls would like how Sasha went away from the powerful Tigerstar. The art was also praised with the reviewer writing "Hudson's artwork brings Sasha's emotional journey to life, showing each moment of fear, anxiety, contentment and joy. The cat's-eye perspective of many of the panels, in addition, add a dramatic, energizing element to the book". The reviewer also wrote "A twist at the end will leave fans eager for the next installment of Sasha's saga". At the same time the book would also appeal to people trying to find their place in the world. School Library Journal also gave the book a positive review feeling that the plot would attract new fans and appeal to old fans. The reviewer also wrote "Though the cover claims that this is a "manga," the straightforward illustrations are drawn in a simple, realistic style".

Oh god I thought it couldn't get worse but then they made an entire Tigerstar and Sasha graphic novel featuring humans. The art is so bad!! I like the story with the Captain, but that is the only upside.

There are factors that made me add and unadd stars to this book. I would give it 3/5, but the art was so nice that i had to add on. I am very in favor for realistic cats in the Warriors comics, but this felt way too unpersonal and foreign. The art looked like traced cat images and didnt have the same closeness as the other comics, its nice (especially the backgrounds) but the faces didnt show emotion so well, and i liked the narrating in the other comics more. Sasha's arc lacks reasoning, you just see her walking around and thinking. You dont really get to know her as a person/cat, just that shes good at understanding humans. However it did make me sad, so at least there is some good storytelling, but you dont really have the time to feel her development.

She’s really strong to leave the forest even if she’s in love with Tigerstar. She has really strong opinions and I’m proud of her. Seeing her on the boat was so cute. But finally she came back to the forest for her kits.

Reread December 8, 2020.

Y'all, I did not expect to cry reading this. That ending came out of nowhere and made me so sad :(

I'd say this was a huge improvement over the last one! It was really fun seeing where Sasha's travels took her, and the storyline with the Captain and his boat was very cute. Somehow I could really see this particular volume as an animated show even, the story just flowed really well. Especially with the two "villains", aha, that felt like it was right out of Scooby Doo or something like that. Both Sasha and the Captain needed each other, and they were able to help each other <3

Patch is also adorable! We don't get to see a whole lot of him but I love him anyway. Sasha's departure really broke my heart, but I get that she needs to go back to the forest for her kits. I like to think that maybe once her kits are grown and go to RiverClan, she goes back to visit the ship and be reunited with the Captain and Patch. Honestly, I'd be so down for a spin-off of Sasha's boat adventures. Idk, the whole concept is just really cute to me.

Anyway, now that this one is through, we'll be going back to the main series for the Power of Three's big finale~ Time to see the fallout of Ashfur's death and everything that comes with it, I can't wait :D
