Ooh, those are some amazing covers! I can't figure out who the cat on the cover of TST is though, so I'm just going with Rootpaw since we don't have a description for this cat yet. But is the forest on fire? Or is it just a trick of the light. One of those cats on the bottom of the cover looks a little like a ghost. No shadow and seemingly see-though. Can't see the eye colour or tell what the pelt colour is. I think the other cat is black. Squirrelflight's Hope sounds interesting. I wonder who the rogues are and why the Clans will be pinning their frustrations on them. Kate said that the time gap between TRS and LS is three or four moons, so it probably isn't a very long SE. SD wasn't either, though. Clovertail never gave birth to her kits. It sounds like Bramblestar is indeed the "beloved Clan leader" mentioned in the LS blurb. I wonder what it means by he started acting oddly. Either "Bluestar odd" or possession like was mentioned above. A ghost is going to be bothering SkC and ShC. Actually, SH is one of the longer SEs we've had for a while, in terms of pages. About as long as MFV.

squirrelflight looks beautiful! and the silent thaw blurb sounds awesome. kate said she had a feeling we'd all really like this arc, and i think she's right am i the only one who thinks the cat on the silent thaw cover looks...off? as if its eyes are too close together, or something Generally, if an author is excited, it's a good sign.

COVERS
SH: Thank goodness we broke the shades of gray super edition cover trend with purple! I think Squirrelflight looks beautiful in this, but a little off. Her gaze is downcast and her expression seems dull and lifeless, as if she's grieving, rather than the serious, calm expressions on the other super edition faces. This must mean something. Hmmm.
TST - I...can't help but laugh. Compliment it as much as you like, but I really dislike a certain aspect of this cover. The big face this time looks nothing like LS's face, which looked ethereal. For this one, the art is unquestionably good, the expression is comical. It made me laugh. I mean, sure, they're going for an angry cat. But the eyes are very dramatic. I wonder how I'll manage to look at the book when I get it. The rest of the cover is gorgeous, though. I love the lighting and colors. I can't help but be irked at how big the cat faces are in this theme. It looks really disturbing. The AVOS theme looked fine, they really shouldn't have changed it.
BLURBS
SH: Okay...this is a repeat of CT....
TST: Ohhhhh the old man finally died FOR THE FIRST TIME. Seriously, he's getting really old, like, he's a great grandpa now, Fernsong had kits! And he still has all nine lives? Pffffft. I guess he got so used to being alive, he couldn't handle death.
Also, rogues....again...? Well, curse me for thinking we'd get a different story such as the Clans losing faith in StarClan and their connection with them gets severed. But nope. There's always enough rogues to go around. Let's have three more arcs centered around rogue problems! Hooray!

In regards to Bramblestar acting weird I'm already seeing tons of speculation that it's rabies.
IF THEY ACTUALLY PUT A RABIES PLOT IN... (And yeah before anyways says, rabies is super duper duuuuuper rare in the UK once again, but these books have said Frick the geographic before so I wouldn't be surprised if they did it again)
Of course, it's just speculation.

These sound intriguing!
And I find the cover for Squirrelflight's Hope to be a bit strange. But at least there's no white muzzle. It's mostly the body, though. I love the colors.

Looking at the cover of Silent Thaw... there's going to be a forest fire hopefully to purge some cats.

SH seems like a run of the mill SE as of late. I'll read it obviously, but I'm not too excited for it. The cover is nice though.
TST makes me even more excited for LS. This sounds like the beginning of an epic arc.

The covers are beautiful, but to be honest the plots themselves don't seem that interesting. I hate to be "that person", but as of now they sound like recycled plots we've already seen before, SH especially. I'll hold off full judgement until they're released though. I hope I'm proven wrong.
I do admit I'm interested in what's going on with Bramblestar.

Ghost cat I’m calling it- One Eye from DOTC. No jk. That’s literally who I thought of first though
I want Bramblestar to be possessed! That’s something we haven’t seen! Please Erin’s!

Wow! The cover art is very pretty. Although I imagined Squirrelflight a bit fluffier and adarker ginger to what the cover is, I like it. The Silent Thaw is nice. I like the fading yellow on the bottom with the cats. Also I wonder who that cat is?
And, it’s time Bramblestar lost a life. It might creep me out a bit if he’s possesssed and because he’s acting oddly, I wonder what the outcome of it will be.

in all seriousness, possession will either work or it won't. it's a risky move and I hope it works out well for my boy bramblestar and my boy the erins. It does certainly seem like it'll be ashfur and it better be, and not something absolutely stupid like tigerstar I
also the covers look beautiful, can't wait to read, good work owen you're doing good bud
yeah I just really hope the possession thing is good cause if it isn't it's gonna really, really suck

Feb 15th, 2019: Sorry, BlogClan! We’ve received word from the head honchos of the Erins, and we have to take down the cover as they are not yet finished or ready for the public. This will remain a spoiler page, but a placeholder image will be displayed until further notice!
Weird. This makes no sense.

Yeah! o_O I thought maybe it was partly because the Editor's were keen on revealing the covers "for the first time" on the new warriors website (just shoe-balling), but they're already on there. And they haven't been taken down from there. So ... huh. If big changes are being made to the covers, can't wait to see 'em!
EDIT: I just noticed if you go to the warriors website, Squirrelflight's Hope's cover is a bit different on there. Green-on-green instead of gray-on-green, and the center cat is more defined. (I hope they go with the gray-on-green ... I love the contrast)

Difference for anyone who's curious: I like the green on green higher contrast version better I'm ngl. It looks less washed out in the newer version and she actually stands out there.

yeah the green on green does look better, I was thinking that the gray on green just looked kind of odd. but I would have preferred the old version if they changed the green to the same silver as the text, because imo grey/silver/orange is a better color combo than green/silver/orange
