A review by skylacine
Riverstar's Home by Erin Hunter
slow-paced
2.0
Frustrating is the best way to describe this one.
The magic and mystery of Riverstar as a unique and slightly eccentric character has been completely wiped away with this book. There's a whole lot more needless love drama I didn't care to read about. A lot of this book (about 50%) is just downright recycled plot elements from <i>Dawn of the Clans</i> but this time from Riverstar's POV. Skystar is still the worst (nothing new there, I suppose). The book feels drawn-out and doesn't really get interesting until past the 50% point when we enter "new" territory with Riverstar going to aid his old parkmates and feeling torn between his homes.
I don't HATE this book, it's just very disappointing as many new releases from this series have been as of late. But to be fair I'll list some elements I like: getting to see the park cats again, getting some final closure to the Slash conflict, Night as a character (she's THE best character in this book) and the first official warrior ceremonies being held.
