I have been thinking a rereading(my first time ever rereading anything) POT because I miss Hollyleaf and want her. I mostly want to see and read about her again. I don't know if it's worth my time because I take forever to read a book. Is it worth it to you, if so, do you have any tips on rereading books in general?

I reread books all the time, since you’ve already read it you have a sense of what’s going to happen, so you see foreshadowing and small details that you may have missed. Just try to think less about the major details, just try and notice how little things fit or lead up to the big plot points.
For example, before I read VoS I reread all the Skyclan books, from Firestars Quest to Skyclans Destiny. It helped me remember the minor details about Skyclan and it’s characters.

What I am worried about most is being bored because I already know everything.

Honestly, you’re thoughtful as you read it because you’ve read it before. You’ve missed things; that’s a given. However, if you found it interesting the first time, you’re more than likely still going to find it interesting the second time. I might, especially since I want to do an in-depth review of her character once I am done if I decide to do it.

I re-read books because I love seeing Dovewing. I also like to look deeper into characters' PoVs as well, and try to see both sides. Sometimes I like to try to look into the personalities from background characters, too. It's really fun, especially for debating purposes to prove your point. I'm not into debating that much anymore, but back then I used to all the time and would read the books again for that purpose. Right now I'm rereading AVoS for character analyzing. I say go for it, if it makes you happy to see your favorite character again.

I think you could reread the parts of the book you want and skip over the parts you don’t! Just because it’s all attached into one book doesn’t mean you have to read the whole thing. Just do what makes you happy! I also love Hollyleaf and wish we got to see more of her.
