I've always wondered why Whiteeye was White-eye...? Is it literally just because both words end in E? For example, would Crowwing by Crow-wing? I can't recall if I've seen this implemented anywhere except for White-eye in these older clan stories.

I gotta admit, Tigerclaw taking on that hawk head-on was pretty cool. And also this gem from Frostpaw:
"It's running away! Flying, I mean."

I think I know what Tigerclaw will say to Redtail before he kills him "Remember? You promised moons ago that you are forever in my debt. Now it is time for you to pay it back. By killing you I shall become deputy and your debt shall be payed."

White-eye has yellow eyes! Not a spoiler, I'm just happy her eye colour has officially been confirmed. And they kept her eye being clawed out by a badger. But as a kit? Either she snuck out of camp and met a badger, or a badger invaded the camp. Redpaw admiring Tigerclaw makes me so sad. Especially considering what happens later in life and how Tigerclaw is going to murder Redpaw.
So... Tigerclaw saved Redpaw's life from a hawk causing Redpaw to feel indebted to Tigerclaw. Yeah... he basically fulfilled that debt when Tigerclaw killed him, as dark as that is.
Willowpaw really, truly cares for Redpaw. I'm liking her more and more. And I already liked her in the OS.
"You owe me more than one. You owe me your life!" - Tigerclaw to Redpaw '_'" Yeah... he payed that up alright...

“You owe me more than one. You owe me your life!” Yikes, the foreshadowing is thick.

I can't recall if I've seen this implemented anywhere except for White-eye in these older clan stories. I remember reading somewhere (I think from either Vicky or Kate) that if the name connects with two vowels they hyphen it but if it doesnt they leave it. So Crowwing and Rockkit would be fine and White-eye and Dove-ear need hyphens.

God, I love reading about younger ThC in the old forest from a different perspective than Firestar's. It's adorable to see cats like Frostfur and Willowpelt as apprentices. I don't know why, but Bluestar's POV didn't really captivate me in her book, while Redtail's is so endearing. His admiration of Tigerstar also gives me chills. He looks up to him so much. But on lighter notes, his relationship with Willowpelt is sweet, and I'm enjoying his interactions with his Clanmates (even Tigerstar, like near the end of the last chapter where he encouraged Redtail). Even with only these three chapters, you get the feeling that he's close to them, and the cats genuinely care for each other. The action here is also great! I love that it's not over in the blink of an eye or just two or three pages.
The writing is giving me vibes from TPB, oddly enough.

I think I'm going to really like how these three novellas give us such different time periods. DOTC, TPB and AVOS/TBC esque times. Perhaps Shadowstar's novella will inspire me to finish or start DOTC back up again. I hope so, I need motivation to read it at this time.

is it true that redtail's debt is being written by someone other than kate or cherith? The novellas have always been written by Vicky except for TE, which was written by Clarissa Hutton. Now that Vicky's no longer on the team, Clarissa will be writing them from now on it seems.

Wait, what happened to Willowpelt in the future?? I think Kinkajou is referring to Willowpelt's relationship with Tawnyspots, since he's the father of Darkstripe. But if that's the case, then Tawnyspots was actually pretty young when he retired (three years, if I'm right), which was only due to illness rather than age. The main reason ThistlexSpotted is considered creepy is because Thistleclaw seemed interested in Spottedleaf since she was a kit and he's just not a good cat in general. The latter also goes for Tigerclaw.

Can't tell if Tigerclaw is a master manipulator or just honestly the nicest jerkface.

Tigerclaw is Faux Affably Evil in this book. Besides that, it’s off-putting that a lot of cats are looking up to him.

I was joking if Willow got a novella they'd put in a relationship like that

Most of Adderfang and Swiftbreeze's kits have been in relationships that either didn't last long or proved to be unhealthy. Since Patchpelt no longer seems to be the father of Graystripe, him and Willowpelt are the only ones to form decent relationships and I hope it stays that way.

I'm definitely going to read this. I like Redpaw! And This helps us understand why the clan loved Tigerstar so much and why they were blind to his antics back then- he was a hero. When we meet him he pretty much screams bad guy so I like this different perspective. I'm interested to see at one point the transition from hero to villain became complete and to what extent he began actively plotting for power.
Him and Redpaw have an interesting dynamic because it's clear that Tigerclaw is doing something- it's just unclear if it's intentional (as a way of building support with the young in the clan) or if it isn't. He's both reassuring and supportive of Redpaw while also reminding him that everything was his fault- but it will be okay because Tigerclaw was going to help him.

This is great! I definitely see Tigerclaw as being at least somewhat manipulative here, the way he seems to be trying to drag down Redpaw's self-esteem to make sure he will see only Tigerclaw as being able to help him. But nice how Tigerclaw isn't shown as "muahahaha I'm so obviously a villain".
