I just got done rereading the chapters of Rising Storm in which Swiftpaw dies and Brightpaw gets renamed. Mind you, I haven't read this book since elementary school, and I honestly have no idea how I made it through those awful paragraphs without crying as a child, because right now I cannot cope with them. The amount of disregard Bluestar has for her clan is unreal, and Fireheart's blatant refusal to act against her is almost maddening! He knows she's wrong and he does nothing to persuade her otherwise. Could he not of convinced her to retire from her position or let him take on temporary roles as leader? It's not like she cared anyways. And I cannot stand that he barely stood up for the other apprentices when they weren't made warriors at the same time as Cloudtail. As far as I'm concerned, Fireheart was a spineless pushover far too worried about doing everything perfectly during the beginning of his deputyship... and it's so frustrating to read! I think the worst part of that chapter though was just Fireheart's quick acceptance as a narrator of Lostface as Brightpaw's replacement name. I know that affected me the last time I read this book too, and it honestly breaks my heart every time I think about it. I can't imagine how Brightheart would've felt in that situation, and I feel so bad for her. What was Bluestar thinking?!
Anyways, I had to put the book down for awhile due to my frustration, and I was just wondering, what parts of the series have made you guys the most upset?

When Gray Wing died, that was the only time I teared up in recent years reading a book.

Stonefur and Gorsepaw’s deaths at the paws of Tigerstar and his croonies always got me.
Littlecloud dying sick and in filth as the apprentices never did jack crap. Screw them.
Rowanstar being broken down and constantly jibed at, before being murdered by his own granddaughter who genuinely hated him. That resonated deeply because of how helpless and unfair it was.

Gray Wing and Willowbreeze's deaths will always hold a PAINFUL place in my heart.
SHREWCLAW.
Briarlight broke me and was made 100X worse by Jayfeather's gross sobbing.
Purdy's death was also way more sad than I expected??
Clear Sky existing.

Longtail's death was pretty sad. The guy was blind and wasn't as old as some elders, and he gets crushed by a tree. Nasty way to go.
Firestar's death was also pretty sad. There's something about a main character dying that gets to me.
Shrewclaw picking on Tallstar. I know he got better eventually (before dying), but his taunting and eventually insulting before that really got me grinding my gears.
Rainflower shoving Crookedstar to the side. While he shouldn't have snuck out (then again, kittens of his age always want to try that), it was pretty sad to see his own mother treating him like he's only second-rate. Good thing he had a dad and brother who still loved him.

Swiftpaw's death always stuck with me, because if how gruesome it was. It seemed unfair even though every cat made their choice.
Longtail's death made me angry, mostly because a blind elder went back for a mouse? It was such a terrible reason and was a tragic end to one of my favourite characters.
I was sad at Tallstar's death but also angry afterwards from the fallout of it and how he went about making Onewhisker the next in line. It back fired anyway.

Easily Snowkit, and maybe Flametail as a runner up.
Something about the random, tragic nature of Snowkit's death really screws with me. And the way they describe him screaming as he's carried away. All I can think about is an extended amount of terror before painful death.

Feathertail’s death, back when I had my first read through of the books. That really tugged at my heart strings.
Later on, Hollyleaf’s disappearance. I was more outraged than upset, though.

Jayfeather's utter hopelessness after Dawnpelt accuses him of murder struck me. It's just a non-stop barrage of problems from him from there, with Starclan being utterly useless at best and actively problematic at worst, random clan cats from all over the place calling him a killer and bullying him across borders, and the Dark Forest showing up out of nowhere to beat the snot out of him and leave him in a wounded heap on Windclan territory. It got to the point that Jayfeather seemed practically resigned to the idea that they were all gonna die hopelessly.
I don't even like Jayfeather that much, but those chapters that were just non-stop abuse hurled at him until he's so miserable that all he can do is sleep really hurt.

Darktail’s drownings. They were genuinely creepy, especially because I can’t swim.
Silverstream’s death, which was heartbreaking. (But also one of the factors that solidified my interest in this series.)

Bramblestar and Rowanstar choosing to separate Twigkit and Violetkit at the end of TAQ. It really cemented Bramblestar as a massive hypocrite for me, because he knows the pain of being apart from a sibling. If Firestar was still leader, he would've fought tooth and nail for the kits. Instead, they were just treated like items with no regard for their well-being.

snowkit's death swiftpaw's death and brightpaw's injury shrewclaw picking on talltail and the way the clan constantly made excuses for it. (wasn't there a part where shrewclaw said that talltail should have died or something?) honestly, i love tallstar's revenge, but it can be really upsetting to read. talltail was too good for windclan at times the shadowclan patrol watching berrykit suffer something about tadpole's death always bothered me all of the bratty and cruel antics of the shadowclan apprentices in avos, particularly the way they treated littlecloud. honestly the entire arc cemented shadowclan as my least favorite clan briarlight's death willowbreeze's death/the way two of crookedwillow's daughters died immediately after her Tadpole's death has always gotten to me too. I've always wondered what his warrior name would've been if he had survived.

As of recently, Clear Sky's behavior during the battle in TFB. He was so infuriating... the longer he talked, the angrier I felt with him. The breaking point is when he attacked Thunder and had the nerve to say he should've never been born. I was so angry I was ready to strangle him myself

-Feathertail's death was the first death to make me cry
-I'm still wrecked over Gray Wing's death
-Two of Squirrelflight's kits dying. Like come on! The poor cat has suffered enough.
-Swiftpaw's death was just awful. Firestar fought so hard to keep him alive only for him to be killed by Tigerstar.
-Mousefur's death really got to me for some reason.

Gray Wings death was the saddest in my opinion, but Feathertail, Mousefur, Gorsepaw, and Purdy were also really upsetting.
