4.0
The story picks up where book 5, "Twilight", leaves off. The badger attack on the cats of Thunderclan was devestating and now the clan has to put the pieces back together. That combined with the old nemesis of the dead Tigerclaw trying to lead his two sons, Brambleclaw and Hawkfrost in a strategy to take over leadership of all the clans makes for a good story. There are quite a few sub-plots as well that need to be wrapped up, not the least of which is the overarching prophecy that has been largely in the background through these six books. There is a lot to be wrapped up here but I never felt like the plot was rushed in order to get it all done.
I'll always look back fondly on this series and I highly recommend them to parents looking for good books to read with their children. Just don't start them too young because there is a fair amount of violence and death among the clans.

While a bit slower than some prior installments’ conclusions, it is an enjoyable read.

I’m rereading the series and I’m just, shocked at the amount of details I don’t remember.
The three stars sign Leafpool had, Spottedleaf literally telling Leafpool that Cinderpelt is reincarnated as Cinderkit?? Oh my god?
The detail of Birchpaw warning Firestar about Blackstar, yet Ashfur told Leafpool and Squirrelflight the ‘truth’ (part of it at least). And Hawkfrost having the scent of Shadowclan??? UGH I love it!
I still don’t like Brambleclaw though. I loved him through the journey, but the second the clans settled back down the sweet and kind cat just disappeared. He’s so gullible, and blinded by insecurities.
Him calling out and blaming Leafpool for Shadowclan thinking they can move the border after she told Littlecloud how Cinderpelt died, which she had the right to do, during a CLAN MEETING?! Just for it to turn out that he’s the reason Shadowclan knew, cause he told Hawkfrost and Hawkfrost told Shadowclan.
He kept projecting, kept being snappy and rude. Hell the book started with him thinking all the bad things he and Squirrelflight did to each other could just be forgotten, WHEN HES THE ONE WHO WAS MEAN TO HER!! SHE DIDN’T DO SHIT! The woman literally just called him out for being stupid, and he acted like an asshole to her in return.
Squirrelflight and Firestar are so much better than me, I would take way longer to forgive him for the bullshit he pulled.
