this one is definitely better than the first one! I really enjoy Twigpaw and Violetpaw’s story. The question between kin and clan and what that means for kin who were separated so early. I really enjoyed that a lot of this book takes place in ShadowClan. the fact that the apprentices rebelled was interesting but seemed very stoppable, like you are a leader and a whole clan, can you not just idk make them obey? pay better attention to your younger cats ShadowClan. Needlepaw and Sleekpaw are just annoying. and the way the rogues operate just doesn’t seem like it would attract apprentices? the gaslighting of Violetpaw from Needletail pissed me off. very sad that alot of SkyClan plot was just…not there? I guess Bramblestar is like “welp what can we do?” but I feel like Alderpaw should ATLEAST be a bit more pushy abt it. OK AND ALSO ONESTAR IS BEING SUCH A BITCH? CATS EVEN KITS ARE DYING HELP THEM OMG. anyway, better than the first! higher and higher hopes for the next!
