The writing and storyline is an improvment on The New Prophecy, it's predecessor (enjoyable, but not the best installment in the Warriors saga, in my opinion). I forgot how unlikable Jaypaw could be in the begining; and while he's still his grumpy self by the end, he's grown on me and is one of my absolute favorites.

I don't know what it's like to be blind like Jaypaw, and I could never imagine it; but I do have fibromyalgia, a pain disorder, and I know what it's like to be held back, and think life isn't fair, and wonder what I did to deserve such a fate.

Jaypaw also reminds me of my cat, Klaus, who was alive the first time I read this series. He was blind, but he could smell food a mile away!
