Moth Flight's Vision

The point of this book doesn't really come across. I do see the struggle Moth Flight experiences but in later books every kit becomes an apprentice meaning they don't need their parents as much anymore + their parents also return to their warrior duties. Why cant a med cat do the same? Especially in later books when all of the clans have two med cats (or atleast an apprentice)

To preface: I picked this book up as it was next in my nostalgia journey of reading a series so dear to my heart from when i was a kid. I had only read every book from “Into the Wild” to “The Last Hope”, excluding some special editions. I decided a while back to read everything chronologically so this book ended up being next after reading the DotC arc. 

To say picking up and reading this book, in the midst of an extremely bad reading slump, would be the sole reason I have cried multiple times in one day would be an understatement. I partially miss who I was before picking this book back up after months of starting it (around the 35% point) and reading the rest in one day - I had no idea a book about cats from my childhood would bring me so much pain and heartbreak. Even the little manga panels at the end that gave closure to the story hurt. 

This did take 5 months to read, which most of the reading was done in the first month and then the same day I am writing this, 5 months later. I don't regret any of it, however.

If anyone else reads this - if you're my age (24 at the time of writing), please don't think you're too old to indulge in books from your childhood. Sometimes, you just need a book like that to get out of a bad reading slump. I may still be in one, yet I feel as if this book had helped me gain motivation to get back into reading this series chronologically. 

Moth Flight will forever be one of the best characters to me.
