www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/warriors-a-starless-clan-6-star-1What are we thinking? Title is Star. Lots of spoilers in the blurb though, be warned. F to the only dude in RiverClan not related to the others. We're really axing RiverClan at this rate. Also I'm just disappointed. Again. Splashtail kills a guy and now he's the most dangerous cat in the forest... they're really trying to make him a wannabe Tigerstar and it's just not working. Still can't take him seriously with his name.

FYI - HUGE spoilers for Wind in this blurb. Absolutely avoid clicking if that matters to you.

Warrior cat books not having any major spoilers in their blurbs challenge: impossible

Way to spoil Wind like that... RIP Harelight. I wonder who else gets axed, if anyone does...

Yay, it's called Star after all! I was fearing that they would actually throw a huge curveball at everyone and name it something completely different lol. Can't wait for the cover reveal!

So it's full of spoilers, just like I expected. Thanks for the warning, I won't be reading it. I wish they'd stop spoiling the books so much, I remember they managed to keep the spoilers in the AVOS and TBC blurbs minimal. Too bad we didn't get a cover too, that was what I was most excited about. Oh well. EDIT: I'm back here to say that I gave in and read it lol Rest in peace Harelight! After reading the blurb I feel like his death was the only real spoiler, so I'm glad about that. It's not actually full of spoilers, I might have jumped the gun there. In my defense, the books have been spoiled quite a bit in the blurbs, so it's not an unreasonable assumption to make. I do wish there were no serious spoilers at all though. I don't think Harelight's death should've been mentioned.
I'm a bit surprised they call Splashtail... well, Splashtail. He should've gone to the moonpool by now. I doubt he would actually try to get 9 lives because of his views, but I feel like he'd still tell everyone he has them. I don't think they'd accept him as RiverClan's leader otherwise. Maybe in the actual text they call him Splashtail because Frostpaw, Nightheart and Sunbeam will know that he's not actually Splashstar.

Great job not spoiling Wind editing team! I really miss the old team none of the previous books got spoiled by the summary of the next book when Vicki Holmes was at the helm.

Added spoiler tag for ASC for obvious reasons. *sigh* Of course they spoiled something major for Wind, that's what I've been worried about and literally wrote only yesterday on like two seperate threads when the topic of Star came up. Not surprised but still disappointed. Death spoiler for Wind: RIP and F in the chat to Harelight (Frostpaw's mentor)! I was kinda hoping they reveal either the Star or Ivypool's Heart cover for Valentine's Day next week but now they'll probably go ahead and scramble to do that for the former sooner considering the huge spoiler and leak in this blurb anyway. Or they release the two covers much later on for some reason and do a similar thing for Star like they did with Wind but the other way around where they first shared the cover and then blurb a bit later (or like with IH which has yet to have a cover despite the blurb being revealed already last year).

SOMEBODY HAS TO STOP THIS I’m convinced that they saw how much people complained about the spoiler-y blurbs and did this on purpose lol
Yeah, I predicted Harelight would die, not that surprising. Still would’ve been more sad and shocking to read for the first time though. Now I’ll just be waiting for it while reading. I guess that creates some anticipation? Idk.
I’m also guessing this means that Splashtail doesn’t kill anyone else?
And poor Lizardtail. He’s lost 3/4 of his kids, probably his mate, and maybe his parents (they’re unknown). Poor Gorseclaw too.
And more Frostpaw suffering yayyyy.
At least we still don’t know if she gets her name, I was worried this would spoil that.

This is, what, the second time they've spoiled something major this arc in the blurb alone? Twice is a little ridiculous. Edit: Not even twice. They spoiled ShadowClan taking over RiverClan, Frostpaw's attack, and Berryheart's exile.

In any case though, the name makes sense and I'm glad they didn't go with something that doesn't sound stupid. I'm really liking Splashtail as a villain and he's quickly becoming one of my favourites! I'm interested in seeing how he continues to develop as a villain. RIP to Harelight, one of the more fleshed out background cats.

I expected some crazy spoilers to go down, but aside from that one huge one, this blurb is pretty tame. Nothing about Berryheart, nothing about the Park cats, Ivypool, or even the main trio. It sucks that Frostpaw's mentor had to go down like that, but it's far from the worst they could've told us.

Hoping that this is an alderhearts mistake scenario, is this known as a reliable website? Kobo has gotten accurate book titles and blurbs early before, so yes, it's reliable. It's not like this is the first book to spoil something in the blurb, either. It should also be noted that Goodreads gives anyone the option to upload a book, and at least as far as I'm aware, Kobo doesn't.

I was hoping the blurb would come out later for this exact reason. I swear these blurbs are getting more and more spoilery... RIP Harelight! Poor Gorseclaw, he's lost all of his siblings now and his mother.

I clicked on the link thinking "How spoilery could it actually be?" And I was not expecting THAT. Since Splashtail is already declared leader, it makes me wonder if Harelight was part of some opposition group, kinda like the rebels. If Splashtail found out he might've felt his leadership was in peril. I wonder what other cats are in that group (if that were the case), I personally think Harelight, Icewing, Mistpaw and Graypaw are likely, maybe some more. Since RiverClan is such a small Clan that could never fight against one other Clan - let alone four - it makes me wonder if some Clan sides with Splashtail, I think SkyClan is most likely.
Here's my prediction: Harelight and Icewing come to Frostpaw and say they believe her and start plotting on how to defeat Splashtail, Mistpaw and Graypaw find out and also join. Of course Nightheart and Sunbeam get involved, because plot. Harelight is the leader of this group and starts convincing cats that Frostpaw is telling the truth, but most remain on Splashtail's side. Eventually Splahtail grows suspicious and sends one of his loyal warriors to spy on Harelight and Icewing since they're clearly up to something. Here I can see two scenarios playing out:
- Scenario 1: The cat spying only notices Harelight doing the suspicious stuff and Splashtail kills him, telling the Clan he'd been conspiring with ShadowClan (which would be half-true), since Icewing hasn't been proven of wrongdoing she remains a spy but is way more cautious now that she knows being exposed means death
- Scenario 2: They are both caught conspiring and are attacked by Splashtail and co., when Harelight is killed Icewing sees no point in dying a pointless death and flees to ShadowClan, taking shelter there.
Overall, this makes me excited to see what is going on in Wind! Considering how much content it seems to have, it needs to have many pages or it won't fit.

I also love how the world feels more alive, the background characters actually exist now (Plumstone and Dewnose are friends, that is the most background character development we've had in ages!) and the writing is overall a lot better
