Pinestar's choice, Thunder's Echo, Spottedleaf's heart.... they came out about a week or so.
And I've been holding in a lot still. (See my review on Shattered Sky)
Sooooo here we go!
First off, Spottedleaf's heart......Straight up weird.
I mean Spottedpaw loved Thistleclaw???!! and he, her?!! WHAT THE SHIZ? From Thistleclaw to Firestar??!! how does that even make any sense? ((And of course, she finds about the Dark Forest because which main character doesn't? Besides Fireheart?
And why does Spottedpaw act like Ivytail? or Bluefur act like Speckletail? this one is soooooo weird! DX It's like a Dust x Fern if Dust was evil! (Not to mention, Thistleclaw's son, Whitepaw, is her denmate.......weird.....) But why is she forced into medicine cat-ship?? She never acted like anything else was more important to her! I thought this whole thing would be about her detication to her apprenticeship, only to receive a prophecy that she would turn her back on the healing arts for love one day, only for her love affair to Firestar to never happen because of Brokenstar's warriors. or something like that. Not Russian roulette with ThunderClan's old cast and go with that!!! DX UGH! 1 out of 5 stars!
Pinestar's choice:
Okay, so....it's pretty obvious what's happening here. Pinestar, Tigerstar's father, leaves the Clan and forever shames Tigerstar as he is growing up. Forever spiraling him into the bloody path we all know and right into Thistleclaw's dark mentorship. NOW let's pretend Pinestar had a good reason.
He didn't.
This whole story is about Pinestar justifying his excuse to leave ThunderClan. Let's face it, that's all this is. Pinestar was never a good father, or going to be. That's just the way he was. And honestly, he wasn't a great leader either. Most of his leadership ended in failed fights. ((Probably the last time ThunderClan lost at ANYTHING)) but whatever. But because no warrior in ThunderClan can be horrible, Pinestar wasn't a bad cat. Just a lot of bad stuff happened and blah blah blah. Of course starclan would have sent warning to Pinestar that his son might be the greatest threat to ThunderClan. And yeah, that probably would scare him off. But then StarClan turns around and flat out demand that Pinestar KILL HIS SON. WOW StarClan! Straight up condemning a kit and justifying murder......SOOOOO not cool!!! Come on!!! At least condemn Pinestar a LITTLE bit! He couldn't flee THunderClan fast enough!
Now don't get me wrong, I liked the bits about Jake and his mother. ((At least it's confirmed that Pine x Jake isn't a thing, thank god. Nutmeg x Quince x Jake x Tall x Pine is just weird!)) and the death of the kittypet? TEARS! T-T
But Pinestar really just wanted to leave everything behind because he was afraid. Of his son, of dying, of the Clans. 3.5 out of 5
Thunder's Echo:
okkaaay....I felt like this story should have been right after Mothflight's Super. I mean, come on. they talk about deputies, medicine cats.....but no talk of a warrior code?? Why not? I thought this whole thing would be about Lightning Tail's death and his death sparking the code somehow. That's how it should have been. Not "Who's THunder's kits going to be?" I couldn't care less about Violet Dawn to be honest. She barely qualifies as a side character, let alone a mate. and though the dogs were a thing, they just feel like a clone of the tree-cut dogs. Pack pack! i'm gunna kill kill! =.=* 2.5 out 5 (That score is all about Lightning Tail's death)
