"In the midst of the coldest leaf-bare any warrior can remember, the Clans have lost their connection with their warrior ancestors, and only one ShadowClan apprentice can still hear their voices--or their warning about the new shadow rising within the warrior Clans"--
Betcha it's Shadowpaw, no doubt. I HAD A FEELING he would be a potential protagonist, what with the cover art resembling him a lot, him being a Med. Cat and them having the whole connection to Starclan and all, also the "Shadowclan apprentice" thing is pretty obvious. And... I don't mind it at all really. He's the only one out of Dove's litter that I'm really interested in tbh,nd he'll be the first PoV since Leafpool to be a willing Healer! Which has me extra excited.
What are your opinions on this new blurb?
Shadowpaw is the modern Shadowclanโs Goosefeather Iโm calling it now. Crazy naive seer baby ahoy.

I'm waiting for people complaining about Shadowkit having a PoV, if I'm being honest. But I don't mind him getting one as long as he's interesting. AVoS has improved on their characters, so there's hope.

At least the main character is not another thunderclan protagonist. That is something somewhat fresh and original, something that the series has been lacking for years now. However the series is still using the old "young apprentice saving the clans from vague and non descriptive threat" trope. I still don't hold that much hope for the series.

It doesn't really sound too exciting, but I'll still read it when it comes out.

Yay for a break from ThunderClan but we can count on never getting a RiverClan POV :/

I'm excited about this. I had been hoping Shadowkit was the POV. And judging based on the POVs for TAQ and TST, he'll be the only one for LS. A ShadowClan POV for one entire book is fine by me.

Can't wait! Though Kate wouldn't confirm it, it was quite obvious that Shadowkit was going to get a POV. And I hope we get to see more of his sisters. Pouncekit is still my favourite. And I can't wait to see more of Puddleshine. He was a great character in AVOS.

Shadowpaw YES!!! Go my son make me proud.
With a Shadowclan PoV Riverclan will appear more too because of sharing borders, even if its only to know the Thornclaw version of them.

It'll be weird hardly seeing them this book. Makes me wonder how Shadowkit finds out about Bramblestar, the "beloved Clan leader".

Shadowclan had a recent purge so it will be nice to see a reduced cast. I want Blaze mentoring Lightpaw and Scorchfur with Pouncepaw, the second mostly because it would be hilarious with their personalities. It's going to be so odd not to have a TC POV. (DOTC doesn't count since the Clans weren't formed yet) A good odd! But real talk, yes, it will be. We've ALWAYS had a TC POV. It'll be weird hardly seeing them this book.

Honestly, I'll be kinda disappointed if Shadowkit is the POV. Mainly because of how blatant that the books make it and how they're basically primping him up to be the next protag in TRS. I don't care for Shadowkit that much, I might even like him a little bit, but seriously? I don't like how obvious it'll be that Shadowkit will be the next POV. While I'm happy that we have ShadowClan spotlight, I'm not happy that the POV will most likely be Shadowkit. I especially won't be happy if his "visions" turn out to be real, or if he even has powers.
However, I'll be happy if it's a different apprentice in ShadowClan instead. I'm personally hoping for Blazepaw, Spirekit/paw, Lightkit/paw, Pouncekit/paw, or Hollowkit/paw, I just want someone unpredictable to be in the spotlight. That or Shadowkit better be interesting enough for me to read, because I have a feeling I'm probably not going to like his POV that much.

On one hand not having a ThunderClan PoV would be cool. On the other I want to see Bramblestar go crazy first-hand

Kestrelflight said that he would look for an apprentice, Shadowpaw training buddy confirmed. Riverclan dont get one because Mothwing is immortal an will never go to the elders den.
Alderheart and Shadowpaw interactions in the moonpool are better be cute.
Bramblestar is not very creative, he will probably close the borders like everyone did in the last arc.

I wonder how the clans manage to lose their connection with Starclan so badly omg. Also, Bristlekit for the inevitable Broken Code TC POV pleaaaase.

Really happy there's going to be a non TC POV this time around, but not super thrilled it's Shadowkit, mostly because I know there's going to be a ton of Dove and Tiger there. Oh well, maybe he'll prove me wrong and be my favorite POV yet. I don't count on it, but there's a chance.

Interesting. And the ShadowClan apprentice is obviously going to be Shadowkit, but I don't mind. This series hasn't always been very surprising, anyway and Shadowkit is the only one of Dovewing's kits to have any sort of significance, so I expected this.
As for whether we'll see much of Dovewing and Tigerstar, I doubt it, at least in Dovewing's case. Cats usually distance themselves from their parents once they become apprentices, so it doesn't seem likely that Dovewing will appear that much, and Shadowpaw's interactions with Tigerstar will probably be similar to Leafpool's or Alderheart's interactions with their own fathers.

evil Shadowpawย EvIl ShaDOWpAw That would be predictable and boring. Honestly, if Shadowpaw is just a well developed character with a decent personality then I'll be happy with him. My only worry is that they're gonna treat him like they did with Alderheart, by giving him a good personality, only to abandon him. Hopefully the Erins have learned from that..

Ew, not another Shadowclan villain please.
Let Bramblestar and his paranoia or ghost possession take care of that.

It kind of sounds like the first half of TNP. Cold leaf bare, no food, and no one can really hear StarClan aside from a few very faint signs.
I don't mind that it's Shadowpaw. I mean we all expected it.

Actually, I wouldn't mind Shadowkit if he was made to be an anti-hero. That would be interesting, but that's my (incredibly unpopular and possibly hated) opinion.

An anti-hero Medicine cat? That'd be a new one. While a healer villain isn't everyone's forte (I'm into that as well in theory but that's my unpopular opinion), it'd be interesting to have a more "morally grey" one other than Hawkheart.
