How much do you guys like the 2 most recent main-series books?
I like The Place Of No Stars more because it has way more entertaining scenes like Rootspring fighting Snowtuft at the end of the book as well as Snowtuft making a comeback in general to be redeemed for his unknown past bad actions. Also Silverhawk and Mapleshade appear as well. I didn't like that Darkstripe appeared, though. I don't like him at all in general.
Darkness Within was iffy for me, all it had was a journey to find The Sisters so they could perform a cermony so the Clans could find Bramblestar, which ended up failing. The ending of Ashfur dragging Squirrelflight into the Moonpool was the only part of the book I find good.

I didn't like Darkness Within that much tbh. 90% of Bristlefrost's characterization this book was pining after Rootspring, which felt excessive mostly bc since her feelings came out of nowhere the book before (you can argue that her feelings developed more during the journey, but it still feels very rushed on her side tbh). Rootspring was enjoyable in terms of coming to accept his roots (no pun intended) and heritage. Shadowsight's chapters were very hard to read for me because of how extreme he was being treated (not to mention Tigerstar made him look after Ashfur? His attempted murderer??) and the way Mothwing and Puddleshine treated him wasn't cool either. The only good things I really liked was the creepy Squirrelflight/Ashfur confrontation scenes and the ghost summoning scenes, I got goosebumps reading those the first time, especially seeing Ashfur morphing in Bramblestar's body.
Place of No Stars was definitely better imo. All the Ashfur scenes in this book were absolutely horrifying; Willowshine's death, him forcing Squirrelflight to fight Bramblestar, and also when he stared straight at Bristlefrost when it happened and said "I see you my faithful little warrior!" (I got super nervous lol). Snowtuft getting development was a pleasant surprise, given by how little information we knew about him beforehand, and I hope he gets a good ending. Rootspring's love for Bristlefrost helping him cope in the Dark Forest was really cute, and he and Shadowsight pretty much carried this book. Speaking of Shadowsight, he came out of the Dark Forest a different cat, and it felt extremely satisfying seeing him all assertive and confident in his abilities in the last few chapters. This book overall had me on complete edge. The only thing I found strange was how much they were emphasizing Graystripe to be this handsome, powerful warrior while still being the oldest cat in TC, mind you, without any 9 lives. Other than that, I enjoyed PONS.

Yes, TPONS was way better! Do you have hopes for A Light In The Mist? I'm hoping that we finally get some insight on Bramblestar's experiences under Ashfur's control. I'm also wondering how they'll contact StarClan, given that they will help in the final battle, and more importantly who will give Ashfur the final blow. I'm also thinking some major characters are gonna die *coughBrambleSquirrelcough*. If that does happen, who will be TC's new leader? There’s so many things and I hate waiting lol
