I didn't like it either. When I first read it I was confused why everyone was saying it was so great. I thought it was boring

I thought this novella was just okay, despite its many problems. Actually, that's how I feel about most of the novellas. The only one I've ever disliked was Mapleshade's Vengeance, and the only one I love without a doubt was Hollyleaf's Story, and even then that could just be bias talking since it's the first book I've ever read in the series.

Imo, it's not that bad. But that's probably just me who thinks that. The only issue I have with DS is Sorrel and Fox's deaths. That's about it, I don't really see much of an issue in the novella even if Vicky is my least fav of the authors. Then again she hasn't been that invested in the main story much anyways. And now that I think about it, I wonder if the only reason Bumble took a turn for the worse is because she's no longer on the team anymore? So the other Erins and the editors pretty much just ripped his character apart and went with DoveTiger instead.

And now that I think about it, I wonder if the only reason Bumble took a turn for the worse is because she's no longer on the team anymore? So the other Erins and the editors pretty much just ripped his character apart and went with DoveTiger instead. Well, Kate didn't even like Tigerheart at first, and considering that TLH was meant to be the last book, BumblexDove was originally supposed to be endgame. I guess the team realized how rushed it was, and had TigerxDove be endgame instead. But then again, even while Vicky was still on the team, Dovewing clearly still loved Tigerheart, as shown in DS and especially BrS. Vicky even stated herself that the reason Dovewing broke up with Bumblestripe was because of her feelings for Tigerheart and knew it was wrong to string Bumblestripe along. That said, however, I do kind of see what you mean, since it was pretty creepy of Bumblestripe to suggest getting back together and having kits, and so soon after Purdy's death at that, not to mention the threat of Darktail at the time. Then again, this isn't even the first time he mentions something like this. He hints wanting to have kits by saying that Dovewing would be a good mother after cheering up Seedpaw in BrS, and this is even referenced in SS. And yet, hardly anyone seems to bat an eye when Dovewing told Tigerheart in TLH that he might be living in ThunderClan next leaf-fall and that they might have kits. Actually, I've seen more people get annoyed with Tigerheart's reaction than Dovewing's suggestion. Not to mention that this is also before Dovewing got her priorities straight to focus on the Great Battle first anyway. But then by TS, she's pregnant while the Clans are still dealing with the aftermath of Darktail's threat, although ShadowClan desperately needed more cats anyway, and that's exactly what they got when Tigerstar and Dovewing returned with more cats, including their own kits. I'm more or less just thinking aloud here, I guess. Just some things I've noticed while on the forums. But going back to Vicky, I also wonder if her not being an editor for the main storyline before leaving entirely also affected the overall quality of the series. I don't know, just something to think about, I suppose.
