This book was the most exciting one yet.
Tension was high throughout the entire book, with Tigerclaw messing around and Greystripe's struggles as he loses his love and in the end has to leave the clan.
I couldn't stop reading and this book has made me very excited for the rest of this series!
So the second book lagged and I didn't think was all too great but this one started catching my interest again. It's taking a turn away from kiddie and heading towards a little bit more of a maturity level. I do have to say though...........Erin Hunter likes killing off characters.
I love the first arc as much as I love the 3rd arc, they're full of lovable characters and stories for me. I think the most I remember from this book in specific is Graystripe, and it's nice to have some focus on him although as a romance-adverse kid I was put off by his storyline, now I can appreciate it.

This ending was the best so far! Somewhat what I was expecting, but not quite. Bittersweet, but full of hope for Fireheart and Thunderclan. The beginning was sooo slow though, and I disliked (nearly hated) Graystripe so much for always being absent from the clan and Fireheart. Apparently, Fireheart's worry about Graystripe's loyalty to the clan proved to be justified as Graystripe clearly didn't care about Thunderclan by the end, so I'm glad he leaves. It made the ending more tolerable, but my heart ached for Fireheart.
It was also nice to finally see Fireheart vindicated in this novel and the mystery of Tigerclaw's loyalty finally being resolved. Honestly, I thought the ending would have been much worse with more death, but in a way, it was since something died inside Bluestar, Fireheart, Tigerclaw, and the Clan. Putting it that way, Tigerclaw's betrayal took much more than lives away.
