I don't like him. I lost a lot of respect for him during the Silverstream fiasco.

He’s an interesting concept but mediocre resolution

Eh, I like him. The Silverstream fiasco and everything following that made me enjoy him less. But I still liked him once that BS was all over.

I like Graystripe. From a narrative construct point of view, he serves as the guide for Rusty/Firepaw into clan life and setting up the expositional narratives. Like Ron in the Harry Potter saga, he and Ravenpaw take on this role to Firepaw’s “Harry”. Graypaw/stripe is the comic yet passonate part and Ravenpaw the nervous yet underestimated part. Being clan born, they know much more than Firepaw but being young, experience much for themselves as does Firepaw.
On the negative side, first with the loss of Ravenpaw, followed by Graystripe’s extended absence while pursuing Silverstream and then exile to Riverclan, Fireheart is left isolated, until the “Hermione” character (a composite of Cinderpaw/pelt and Sandstorm) developes. In first read, I really missed Graystripe and even after he returned in “dangerous path,” his character seemed unimportant, narratively, speaking.
That said, the reunited trio of Fireheart, Graystripe and Ravenpaw and thier foray into Riverclan territory to witness Tigerstar’s brutality and rescue the prisoners is an amazing high point. It makes me wish that the whole saga of the original arc could have been what was spun out into sequels (shorter time frame, tigerstar still a threat leading shadow clan, etc, no talking badgers or dark forest bs).
