Wow TWO shecats that the authors completely changed their personalities to make them look insane slash instable? AND the men in their life are made to look like the calm and reasonable ones even though in the past those same men were . Dumb as bricks and only getting by from pure luck? How crazy!

I swear if i buy the next warrior cats book next month and they say that Starclan rejected Squirrelflight for any reason im going to lose my mind. I'm not even joking i will give up on the series

[bonefall]

The more I consider the "Smoky gets Frostpaw sterilized against her will" thing, the more I dislike it even on a thematic level...

This book seems to be trying to put Frostpaw through an arc of learning to trust people. Riverstar magically appears in her dreams to send her to the Park Cats who are meant to teach her this lesson, but... starting and resolving that arc more than halfway through the book was sloppy, and a waste.

Instead of Smoky forcing medical treatment on her in spite of how she tells him point blank "please no," SHE should have called for the human.

A creature that the Clan cats have never trusted, that they have great reason to fear. Caught between dying with her pride like a good warrior and taking a risk on the kindness of an unknowable beast, in spite of all the betrayal, she chooses the chance.

Play it like this; Make it so the reason she becomes chosen by Riverstar at all is because he SEES this glimmer of potential within her, because of this very choice.

Instead of that bizarre opening chapter where he seems to have magically gifted her some kind of spiritual connection as a plot device, INSTEAD make it that they were sadly overseeing the end of her life. That this was her destiny, to die as a young, proud warrior apprentice. To trust no cat, as her mother told her.

But instead, she tricks the wording of the self-fulfilling prophecy Curlfeather told her. It said nothing about trusting a human!

THEN follow it up with teaching her how to trust cats again. But make the road down this character arc be something she truly initiated, instead of the weird bullshit they did with her being mad at Smoky for violating her consent while also exonerating him for "Doing The Right Thing :)"

"weight of his mother's ambitions" oh my god i can't take this seriously. i thought we were over this. they have one fucking conflict for this character and it involves dragging sparkpelt through the mud for some reason

[amethyst-halo]

he's SO funny

[smewduck]

she is single-handedly making me interested in canon warrior cats again so i drew her

[takitori67]

Can you draw arjuna and junao with their outfits switched??🙏🏻

Sure!

[chub-whisker]

i would’ve led riverclan into a golden dawn, not a bloody sunset.

[artaintfartwarriors]

Should’ve been sparkfire js

[artyfartyliz]

sad, scared little worrier... riverclan healer, part-time warrior... youngest of her clan, hurt and burdened with so much, she forgot how to be a child.

[lesbikill]

splashtail actually dies in the prologue of star and the rest of the book is just frostpaw putting every warrior in all five clans through the mr beast million dollar challenge for the nine lives and leadership of riverclan

[bonebabbles]

Squilfstar: "If the murderer goes to the moonpool and lies about his blessings, it means he won't be getting an extra 8 lives with which to do even more killing and murdering"

Frostpaw, on the verge of tears: "WE CANT LET THIS HAPPEN..."

[rookflower]

im not really on the "i hope curlfeather killed her husband" train yet purely because i think they fumbled the bag with the pacing of her reveal a bit and i wish frostpaw had more time to emotionally grapple with it like she did with splashtail, and i think pushing her evil into cartoonish levels kind of removes any chance of that ever having the time to be more satisfying by fully cementing her as Pure Evil off the bat. i love curlfeather i think they've got a great setup for her as a villain i suport women's wrongs, but i want a look at her motives! if they are confidently never gonna show us an even more complex or interesting side to her though then Fine yeah okay let her kill jayclaw or whatever go off. but i think any kinda sympathetic backstory or revealed puzzle piece beyond the few pre-reveal glimpses of genuinity we've seen from her and besides "im evil so i want power" would be more interesting rn
