Firestar is in his divorce era <3. We spend a lot of time discussing what an awful husband he is, and how bizarre the Spottedleaf conflict is when there is an actual good conflict happening in the book at the same time. We also meet an anarchist cat commune who prove the warrior code is doing it all wrong. Then we finally finish our Wattpad adventure!
Up next week: Chapter 14-16

Firestar has lost his religion, which we love. Smudge is also back, and we love that. What we love less is how Spottedleaf is exempt from doubt because she's soooooo pretty and also was definitely Firestar's pediatrician love interest. We also add another character to our Staircast Extended Universe!

Before moving onto The New Prophecy, we're taking a detour to Firestar's Quest. What will our beloved orange leader get up to this time? Apparently, being haunted horribly by ghosts. In a shocking twist, Starclan lied (via retcon) and there were once FIVE clans in the forest! Time to go right past wrongs. <3

We have finished the first series, so our wrap up episode revisits it as a whole! We answer some user questions and take a peek at what the people of Goodreads have to say. Then Liz makes some predictions about Firestar's Quest, knowing absolutely nothing about it-- can't wait to revisit those in due time. See you all next week with the very first Super Edition!

And next week... we finish the first series!!!!!!!!
