Awesome I'm a little disappointed it starts with the book I'm the least interested in seeing, because we can't see a preview of a more interesting one like Daisy's. Also, I wonder why Sandynose isn't listed in the allegiances? I know he was taken by two-legs, but wasn't Fidgetflake taken the same time as him? He's in there.

No, he was presumed dead after Darktail’s attack at the start of the journey, then caught up with the Clan later.

Sandynose actually disappeared during the retreat of the gorge battle, and returned with Fallowfern after those cats got taken.

The most intriguing thing I see about all of this is that the dedication is to Cherith. Did she write these three instead of Clarissa? Maybe there'll be less inconsistencies, this makes me happy. I really hope she wrote all three, instead of just Pebbleshine's. But man, she would have been busy, doing this and Veil of Shadows....then not long after Graystripe's Vow. Anyway, it was obvious Chapter 1 would start with her being taken, I just wish it started later so we could see more stuff in the preview. It's funny that she eats the chicken in front of the other ones and she notes that they're staring at her accusingly, that part made me chuckle. Spoilers from iBooks preview There are two characters named Bug and Bunny lmao. Maybe Cherith is a Bug's Bunny fan? It's cute that the cat and the dog are friends.

The preview of Pebbleshine's book is really good so far, but... it's also very gloomy...she is trying to hard to get home, and in the end, nothing matters, because she dies without ever reaching home.

I love the side characters in this so far. I guess Twigkit and Violetkit are born in Chapter 4 (unless Chapter 3 is not complete). This makes me think we’ll see Pebbleshine as a ghost, watching over her kits after her death. I hope. There’s still about 6 chapters left, so.

Finally! I've been waiting forever! Poor Pebbleshine. :c While I'm happy to be reading from her POV, I feel really bad for her. All she wants is to go home.
Lol! Bug and Bunny. I wonder if Bug has the same ability as Millie. Then again, Bug did say that she and Bunny grew up together since they were young so they have a great understanding of one another. I really liked them and it's great to see a dog and cat in this series as best friends.
Is it wrong that the name Milo reminded me of the movie Milo and Otis? Milo is even an orange cat. I love Coco's name, but she's a rude cat who isn't very nice to a pregnant she-cat. Anyways, Milo and Olive are nice. It's nice of them to want to show Pebbleshine the way.

I didn't even notice this at first, but PK and MS only have 9 chapters, like MV did. In contrast, TR has 10 chapters which is the norm in novellas.

Don't they usually all have ten chapters, at least the latest ones? Either way, glad Tree's is the longest. It's the one I'm most excited about.

Condensed thoughts on preview, since my posts are all over: Poor Pebbleshine! I'm not surprised at all it starts out with her being captured, I always figured that would be the first scene. When you risk everything for a little bit of chicken. RIP. It's sad that she promises to find her way back to Hawkwing when we all know what happens to her. The bit with the cat and dog being friends is so adorable! I've wanted to see that in this series forever. Bug and Bunny, lol. I wonder if Cherith is a Loony Tunes fan, and that's a wink at the character. Bug is such a nice cat. Pebbleshine should've stayed a bit longer with them, since she never found her Clan anyway. At least until her kits were born and ready to travel. Wow, things are happening fast- in Chapter 3 she's already ready to give birth to her kits! I can't wait to see what she would have named them, if she had any. It makes me think that the novella will extend past her death, and show her wandering as a ghost, looking after her kits. This novella is going to be really sad.

I wonder when Pebbleshine and Tree meet. We know she was still pregnant... ...so probably after she went separate ways from Olive and Milo.

I finally had time to read the sample, and I'm actually kinda interested in Pebbleshine now. Reading her death will be so tragic, assuming it'll indeed cover it. And since she's already close to giving birth, I wonder if this'll extend past her death.
I like the new characters, especially Bug and Bunny and I'm glad this novella is showing a nice dog. And Milo seems to be a reference to Milo and Otis.

Since she's near giving birth by Chapter 3 and this is 9 chapters total...I'd say Chapter 4, 5 at the latest. She meets him when she's still alive, according to Tree. Timeline wise, yeah, definitely after that.

I was expecting people to not like Pebbleshine's POV due to the reaction she got in HJ. I'm kinda glad they made a character the fandom isn't fond of and at least tries to make them more interesting and likable. I'll have to see what everyone thinks of Tree's before reading it myself.

I'm kinda glad they made a character the fandom isn't fond of and at least tries to make them more interesting and likable. I'll have to see what everyone thinks of Tree's before reading it myself. At least for me, it was less that I didn't like Pebbleshine and more so that I didn't like where her character went; that being, we only got to hear about her rivalry with Hawkwing in RF and see it very briefly in the beginning of HJ before she starts to develop feelings for him after he saves her. After that, she's basically a typical loyal and feisty she-cat who insists she can still do things the others can even while pregnant and then she later dies before her kits can really know her. There wasn't really much to her in terms of being an actual character in her own right since so much of it already revolves around the other cats in her life, so I really don't blame anyone for thinking so little of her. That said, PK was actually the novella I was looking forward to the most precisely because I was hoping it'd give Pebbleshine more to do besides mostly being a love interest and a dead mother to two of the protagonists. And I say this as someone who isn't usually find of journey books in this series, but I'm liking where her novella is going so far.

Will there be a preview for Tree's and Daisy's, or no since they're all three in the same book?

𝓣𝓲𝓷𝓾𝓿𝓲𝓮𝓵Aw that sucks, thanks JaysnowOmg, Idk why I keep thinking that Daisy is apart of this one, I guess because she and Tree remind me of each other, except they have basically nothing in common, except for similar pelt colors? lol
