The browse inside for Hawkwing's Journey is up!

I just read and I'm really intrigued.

Cool that we got to see Skystar, Cloudstar, and Brackenheart again. And once again the likely possibility of SkyClan being with the other Clans again is referenced.

So it looks like Ravenpaw's Farewell and by extent Hawkwing's Journey really do take place during OotS, or at least sometime after it if at least Firestar's death is referenced in the prologue and it's speculated on in the main story. At least that's what it seems to be hinting at, anyway.

I was right on who Sharpclaw and Cherrytail's kits were. Also, I love the name Cloudmist! It's now my favorite name in the series. But assuming HJ does take place after OotS, then I wonder what happened to Sharpclaw and Cherrytail's other kits since she was pregnant in SkyClan and the Stranger, which took place before Power of Three.

And come to think of it, where are Shrewtooth, Petalnose, Rockshade, Egg, and Creekfeather (unless he's actually Mistfrather)? Especially Egg, seeing as how he only appeared in SkyClan's Destiny and was Sharpclaw's apprentice. Great to see Sagenose again though, and to finally know his warrior name too.

It's great to see that Birdwing and Mintfur are queens and that the former has kits of her own. But who came up with the names of the kits? Curlykit I can get and we already have a Fuzzypelt and a Tangleburr, so why not, but why Fidgetkit and Snipkit?

And I love how Honeytail is following in her mother's pawsteps. I wonder if she ever had any kits of her own. It certainly isn't referenced in the sample, that's for sure.

And speaking of Honeytail, may she, Billystorm, and Duskpaw rest in peace. Wish we got to see more of Duskpaw before he died though, but I like how the story is getting to the point.

As for the strange animals, from the way they were described... raccoons, maybe? I don't know...

Interesting how just like his sister and Sharpclaw, Sparrowpelt and Tinycloud too had a mentor-apprentice relationship before becoming mates. I wonder if this was planned. And we haven't seen much of Parsleypaw yet, but I am really interested in Pebblepaw.

Also, I'm calling it right now, Hawkwing becomes mates with either Pebblepaw or Betsey, assuming she'll appear in the story again. I wouldn't be surprised if it were Pebblepaw. As for Betsey, I like her even if she appeared very little so far.

As for Darktail, I wasn't expecting him to show up so soon in the story but again, I'm glad it's getting to the point. And he very likely did give the cats wrong directions on purpose, but the question is why. Why did he even bother driving SkyClan out of their territory at all? Guess we'll find out when the book comes out.

As for Hawkwing himself, he seems like an interesting character so far and I feel really bad for him. I do wonder how often his grief for Duskpaw is going to be brought up, though. Don't get me wrong, his grief is perfectly understandable and even more so when he's so young and blaming both himself and Pebblepaw, but I have noticed that it seems to be referenced constantly compared to BP and CP and even TR for instance.

I was right about Stormheart's warrior name, and I really like the name Harrybrook.

I didn't think Patchfoot, Clovertail, and Fallowfern would be elders by now though, but I'm not surprised, either. Sad that Fallowfern lost her hearing, though.

All in all, this book seems interesting so far. I'll be sure to read when as soon as it comes out.

... you're probably rght o.o"
darn... he was cool

You can guess

Aren't Pebblepaw and Hawkwing cousins??

Snowkit says "Hi" from the Hawk's nest.

Anyways, I'm a few pages in and RIP Duskpaw

Also, a fire literally happened that killed an apprentice of theirs and injured a few cats, including a warrior a few quarter moons ago and when Skystar delivers a prophecy about fire, the very first thought that comes to Leafstar head is "Oh it's obviously Firestar"

I mean, it's probably gonna be Firestar because plot, but till, don't you think its a bit weird that Leafstar moved on so fast?

Right!?

Hawkwing + Pebblepaw = Violetpaw and Twigpaw.

Pebblepaw reminds me of Sandstorm for some reason.

We've known about Rileypaw and Bellapaw since Ravenpaw's Farewell. They were born as kittypets to Barley's sister Violet before joining SkyClan.

I wonder if Mistfeather's mate was either Birdwing or Mintfur. I don't want either she-cat to die.

And One-eye, technically.

I don't think so, they are cousins.
