Brambleclaw continues to be punished by the narrative simply for being a guy who is around. Also, all lessons about love and peace from The Prophecies Begin have been completely forgotten. Also Ravenpaw is here :)

These chapters take us along with some new characters including Firestar's two daughters, and also demonstrates that Warriors likes to kill characters off screen between series for no real reason.

We're finished with Firestar's Quest after AGES. The ending is pretty standard aside from some weird choices with Leafstar's leader ceremony, and also Firestar's continued emotional affair with a ghost. We also go to the Goodreads page which is very active?
Up next week: The New Prophecy!!!

Each chapter in this episode is a different genre. A LOT happens. We have tragic death scenes, heists, and unspeakable horrors (rats). WHY are there talking rats??? And then we take a quick look at the history of kit-stealing.

Liz was right.... we do get every single cat into SkyClan this set of chapters. There's SO many cats that show up, and then immediately get renamed. Firestar also continues to be haunted by an Evil Presence and Sky/Skywatcher really seems like he's about to go off and die for no reason. Thanks!
