tbh i think the biggest issues(s) with this one are partially the chapters from stick’s pov, they’re a little unnecessary when things could have been kept vague for longer, with things instead revealed to leafstar and a lot more focus instead left on skyclan (tbh the whole thing with stick and co. isnt really bad it just takes up a little too much time with the stick pov) but on the other hand the shit with sharpclaw is baffling in how there is basically no consequences for him undermining and talking over leafstar and doing major shit with his clanmates without telling her, it practically feels like the whole book is building up to leafstar inevitably (and rightfully?) confronting him about his behavior but the book just brushes it off and was like oh its fine as if he wasnt repeatedly ignoring and talking over his own leader as if he was already leader (which reads as sinister since in firestars quests its made very obvious that he really really wanted to be leader????) like god he borders on antagonistic and nothing comes of it in any satisfying way

reached skyclan’s destiny in my warrior cats reread let’s see to what extent i really enjoy and put up with just reading about clan minutiae

#self reblog #i like leafstar in this book and tbh liking her makes sharpclaw worse imo #i almost feel like she shouldve like. removed him from his role for being kind of a jackass abt it #maybe hes capable but he’s making major decisions without his leaders permission when his role is to support her #they couldve pulled a tigerstar 1 with him and it wouldnt at all have been surprising #like i get theres stuff abt leaders wanting deputies who may clash with them or who are imperfect #but sharpclaw comes off as straight up mutinous and just. its treated as fine actually stop worrying leafstar #like i dont. mind? this books plot but i do think it would have been good to have leafstar have an arc of gaining confidence #(which you could do if you remove the stick povs) with the daylight warrior issues and the outsiders plot and. ofc.#having her confront sharpclaw. i do think that being a final thing would be interesting to show she feels confident enough to #put her paw down and confront him about how he’s been acting and refuse to just keep letting him talk over and supersede her
