I am really disappointed and annoyed that the Erins threw away the chance to write the POV of a cat who came from a litter of four. Seriously, what was the point of killing off two of Squirrelflight's kits? It contributed nothing to the story and they aren't even mentioned after the first chapter or so of TAQ.
I have a feeling that someone realized how difficult it could be to write from that kind of POV and instead of trying to figure out how to make it work, they scrapped the idea by killing two of the kits. That is very lazy writing, imo.
Does anyone else feel that way? |

I agree. The least they could have done was show us Alderpaw's reaction when they died, and that could have opened up a whole new plot to use.

Yeah, it's kinda weird how they almost always make the protagonist be apart a two-kit litter.
Firestar-Princess
Brambleclaw-Tawnypelt
Stormfur-Feathertail
Squirrelflight-Leafpool
(The three are the three because title)
Dovewing-Ivypool
Crookedstar-Oakheart
Bluestar-Snowfur
And now Alderpaw-Sparkpaw. The litters with more than two are so far and few in between. I honestly think its because they just don't want to complicate things.

I found it a little interesting that this happened but a POV like that would have be neat if handled right.

It's too much effort of course. Remember, this is coming from authors who complain about how tiring and aweful coming up with names is.

Yep! I hope we get to meet Juniperkit and Dandelionkit in StarClan. But that will probably never happen.

Imo it would have been interesting to see like Bramblestar blame himself or something. Maybe he could have let the kits (who could have survived to be a moon or so) play outside in leaf-bare, and they got sick afterwards, causing him to blame himself for his kits' deaths.

I honestly think its because they just don't want to complicate things. wasn't there originally a plan for Hollyleaf to be evil? that wouldn't make her not their sibling, but it would sure change up that sibling dynamic and leave two who were still close… anyway I hadn't really noticed the two kits thing but now that you've pointed it out it is disappointing |

It's so easy to RP litters of four, I wouldn't think it'd be too hard to write it. But litters of two and three have always been the usual thing in Warriors.

I'm pretty sure the Erins only did that because they're trying to keep the clans under a certain number of cats. Hence why they also killed off a bunch of she-cats during the final battle, even more cats to sickness, and more in the flood. And with four kittens, that would also mean four potential pov's and they probably thought it was too much of a hassle lol. It's funny considering they're definitively capable of doing it when you take Lionblaze, Hollyleaf, Jayfeather, Dovewing, and Ivypool into consideration. They really had no excuse.
