Firestar's Quest by Erin Hunter
4.0
Firestar begins being haunted in his dreams by a long lost Clan, SkyClan, that he’s never heard of before now. After having these dreams many times he finally finds where he needs to go in order to learn what they mean, but what he finds is that he needs to go on a long, possibly perilous journey to find the remnants of SkyClan.
What I Liked
It was nice to see that once again, StarClan isn’t all-powerful and can’t always force things to happen, plus it shows in this book that they can make mistakes or keep dark secrets just like any living cat. It was also nice to see Smudge be useful to the plot, if only for a short time. I didn’t really get very invested in this book until the mid-way point though, at which point I started actually wanting to read it.
What I Didn’t Like
It took nearly one-fifth of the book (chapter 8) for Firestar to finally meet SkyClan’s leader. It felt like it took absolutely forever for it to move forward. Hattie was also introduced close to this time and she felt sort of pointless, though I guess it would make sense for Firestar’s former owners to get another cat after he ran away. She simply didn’t add much, if anything, to the plot.
