tbh why did they even pick gray wing as a protagonist rather than tall shadow or wind runner. i mean i hate wind runner but i think she would have offered a more interesting perspective than "some guy who we are supposed to think is soooooo so smart just fucks around for six books hating women and sobbing about how his brother is soooo sad so please dont hate him for murdering and abusing people"

#actually. depending on the tone. povs can be clear sky (villain povs can be really interesting and i do think his rationale in book 3-#can get interesting as in like. how abusive people justify their actions. the thing is you also have to have them be refuted)#thunder (someone born in the forest to that abuser and tries to navigate this all at a young age)#tall shadow (someone who also came from the mountains and you can make her friends w clear sky at first bu they grow apart as #she also assumes leadership and inherits it and deals with the stress (i mean they basically have gray wing try to be leader anyways.))#and maybe wind runner (loner cat who is pulled into this system and tries to navigate it and ultimately assumes power)#actually yeah maybe river ripple too bu five povs would be a lot. he can be the guy against all this #but in trying to build an alternative he gets sucked in #i wonder how many of dotc's problems stem from no female protagonist as well
