This one was actually good. I am surprised by the amount of development Nightheart and Sunbeam undergo. Nightheart is no longer the whiny little kit he was in book one. I actually like him! Better than Fireheart, that's for sure.
I like that this book had good placing. There is barely any filler. I'm aware of this mandatory rule that each Warriors book has to start with some exposition dump to fill in for previous books, in case the reader missed them. I hate these exposition dumps, but in this book, I like that the author got them over with really quickly. Like, 2 pages quickly, and then it's mostly over.
The action and progression of the story remains quick and smooth throughout. Nightheart and Fringwhisker's challenges, emotional conflict between Sunbeam and Nightheart, ShadowClan's meddling with a troubled RiverClan, and Frostpaw's internal conflicts all make for a delightfully bloated (in a good way) book. And it's short. Started it, finished it, all in the same day.
I thought Warriors books sucked nowadays. But I don't regret starting this arc. I am actually thrilled to read the next on
