This book feels... very underwhelming. It is, honestly. We have the preview, River Ripple has a few more campmates, then we have DOTC, MFV, and after that it's just him with the Park cats, and then an attack by Skystar that ends rather oddly. Skystar just retreats. That's... pretty much it, other than Riverstar gets a mate and kits. Not much to it. Tbh I don't really mind RH being a DOTC-rehash...he got hardly any spotlight in the arc. I do wish we got some stuff after Shadowstar's Life though, I was hoping we got to meet Skystar's second litter and get a confirmation on some things, like Ravenstar (in-text), who succeeded Riverstar (if we got that lucky), etc. I really hope this isn't the last DOTC-era sidebook.

Also, Skystar gives off massive Ashfur in Bramblestar's body vibes. I mentioned that a tree fell in RiverClan's territory while Riverstar was away - Skystar says that's StarClan's sign that he's allowed to hunt in their land, and he mentions that "SkyClan will always follow StarClan." Basically, he uses StarClan to justify his reasons for invadign RiverClan territory. The thing is, I love these types of villains. I just don't like that they're once again making Skystar an antagonist. This is just ridiculous! I'm not even mad either, just incredibly annoyed. But if another leader had to be an antagonist, then the least they could've done is change things up a bit. ThunderClan and RiverClan even have a huge rivalry over a bunch of rocks in the future, so why not foreshadow that and do something with Thunder instead? I used to like Skystar because I genuinely thought his redemption arc was cool, but this is just getting ridiculous. How many times are they going to sing the same song? Hadn't he changed? Apparently not.

I’m trying to mostly avoid spoilers, but the main thing I want to know: is it a retread of DotC/Moth Flight’s Vision, or does it move that era along a little further? Holy ****, you're alive!

technically he just slips over the cliff and drowns in the River. Hey, dead is dead. Good riddance. true. However, I think they could made his send off more epic. Considering how underwhelming, and lackluster his first appearance was.
