tildee06's review against another edition
Closer to the end of the book the cats went to visit Starclan before returning to the living world. Here many interesting topics were brought up one of which were dark forest cats going to Starclan if they redeemed themself. The suggestion were rejected and I am so mad about that. It would make so much more sense to have allies than enemies. I don't understand why they are being so stubborn and they could not bring up a single good point to why they rejected the idea. Every point they said got shut down by an argument. It dosen't make sense.
Starclan already have a bad reputation among the readers and this does not help.
Another topic I found interesting was cats from different clans being able to be mates and possibly change clans. Incest is a big problem in warriors and it also does not make sense. Some ppl may thing this will take away forbidden romance but I disagree. Crowfeather made it clear changing clans would not be easy, no impulse decisions and in the early days this would cause problems cuz of how new it would be. No one would really know for sure what to do. This was the only interesting thing that came out from Rootspring and Brislefrosts relationship, it was a on going theme throughout the book about love.
Speaking of love, I noticed Silverstream and Feathertail have the same problem. Both had loves who they had to leave due to death. Both Crowfeather and Greystripe seem to love their newer mates a lot and it would be a hard decision for the toms to choose one of their past loves. Like mothe like daughter.

While I loved the first half of The Broken Code, the last few books have fallen relatively flat. "The Place of No Stars" was the least enjoyable for me, so comparatively, "A Light in the Mist" was very good. Still, it's easy to mourn lost opportunities for character arcs and to point out different directions the story could have taken.
My biggest complaint for this series' conclusion is the lack of change introduced to the Clans. With so much complexity added to the cats' afterlives, I can't help but think of "The Good Place" and how it constantly interrogates what an ideal afterlife system could look like. While I don't hold Warrior cats to the same standards, I do wish that the characters would acknowledge that they live in a flawed system, with biased observers in StarClan dictating who ends up in which afterlife (and occasionally getting it wrong, as Ashfur demonstrates several times over).
Additionally, there are minor pet peeves I have concerning cats acting out of character. It felt strange that so much emphasis was placed on Graystripe suddenly being virile and capable of going into battle, as well as everyone in ThunderClan trusting him to do a good job leading them. (Why was his leadership questioned less than Squirrelflight's?)
I also disliked how Silverstream and Feathertail were characterized as jealous of Graystripe, when I firmly believe that Feathertail would get along great with her half-sister Briarlight! (I've always wanted more Silverstream and Feathertail interactions, but seeing them bond over their mutual disdain for Millie/Leafpool is not what I had in mind...)
At least Mothwing is back to being the kind and reasonable cat I love so much. I look forward to seeing her as a mentor in the upcoming series!
Overall, I enjoyed The Broken Code a lot, and I might say that it's my favorite Warriors series so far, considering how long it held my interest and my fondness for the main characters. Still, it's far from perfect, and I would spend just as much time complaining about it as I would praising it.

How dare they just kill BristleFrost like that :(((( Though JuniperClaw deserves to be in StarClan as much as they say no, and SnowTuft would be the same if he could.
