A review by aotora
The Darkest Hour by Erin Hunter
2.0
I wanted to like this finale to this arc, I really did - but I just.. couldn't.
I feel like Scourge was introduced way too late. He is introduced and killed in the same book - sure there were some hints here and there that Tigerstar was meeting with strange cats but he just came out of left field and I felt like he was defeated way too easily considering how deadly he is.
Speaking of Tigerstar, whilst his death was great and gruesome and deserved- and really dark for this series, I feel like we were cheated. I really wish that Firestar was the one to kill him instead after all Tigerstar put him though. And the entire final battle felt rushed at that.
Also Whitestorm's death was great and sad and all but I feel like it was kind of meh at the same time too, mainly because he kept dropping hints that he knew that he wouldn't make it out of the battle alive.
Overall I feel that this book was lacking something that the other books in this arc had, I am just not sure what it was that was missing.
