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 :)

It's finally here.... The New Prophecy. No longer are we stuck with Firestar's POV and whole new horizons are open to us!!! 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.
Up next week: Chapters 4-7

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!!!

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!
