I recently finished reading MO. It’s main focus was the death of Leopardstar and Mistystar’s struggles as a new leader. But the bulk of MO’s was about Mothwing’s disbelief in StarClan and how much that affected Mistystar, to the point where she would not allow Mothwing to be a medicine care anymore. And eventually Mistystar receives an omen from Stonefur that Mothwing is rightfully a medicine cat, regardless if she was chosen by StarClan.
The reasons why I see it as necessary is because it did give us insight into RiverClan and Mistystar as a character, and also her relationship with Leopardstar. But that’s about all I can think of. Thoughts?

Honestly... not really? All it did was make Mistystar really unbearable for me to read through. Plus her reaction to Mothwing's lack of belief hits way too close to home for me.

Ain't all Novellas technically pointless? They're not necessary to understand the main arcs and often completely disconnected.

I must be the only one who actually liked it... characters have flaws, Mistystar being an avid follower of starclan doesn't make me hate her lmao like,, would you blame her?? She saw what happened to Bluestar and knew that if she turned her back on her ancestors, her clan would be doomed. So, it's not surprising she freaked out over Mothwing's lack of faith? Mistystar is very benevolent and genuinely means well for her clan, even if she is misguided at times. I don't know if the novella was Necessary, but we don't ever have main characters from RiverClan, so it's just nice to have. I didn’t think of making the connection to Bluestar’s lack of faith in TBP, so it does make me understand Mistystar a bit more. I think everyone wants more RiverClan POVs!
