Hollypaw and Lionpaw knows! Finally! It’s honestly so interesting seeing how much changed once they knew about the prophecy.
Lionpaw feeling like everything makes sense, while also being scared of his own powers and how they make him think during battle.
Meanwhile Hollypaw is trying to figure out what makes her special, it must be how strongly she feels for the warrior code, right? She’s part of this prophecy with her brothers, both of whom know exactly what’s special about them, so this must be what’s special about her. UGH, it’s so interesting seeing the start of her spiralling in a new light.
And don’t even get me started on Sol, I simply adore him. How did he know about the eclipse? Was it always his intention to make the clans doubt Starclan, or did he just jump at the opportunity once he saw how tired Blackstar was? Did he actually know the prophecy or did he just play along and said what he thought the three wanted to hear?
I have so many questions about him, such a mysterious, manipulative and interesting villain.
And of course Jaypaw, my favourite main character. He’s finally getting around to being a medicine cat, stepping into his role and challenging Leafpool on her decisions. He’s the cat that helped Cinderpaw recover from her leg injury, and he keeps proving himself and growing, it’s amazing.
At the very end, when Hollyleaf, Lionblaze and Cinderheart got their warrior names, he allowed himself to feel jealous that they got to be warriors like he’s always wanted, and just a moment later he was proud of them, and cheered them on. He’s grown so much since the first book, they all have. They feel so much older already. UGH, I love The Power of Three.
