I started reading it, and I'm on chapter 2.
Dewpaw was apprenticed to her sister Whitewing from a previous litter.
Blackstar is a large white tom with one black forepaw, so I guess he's the reverse Scourge.
I feel SO bad for Daisy and Dustpelt, Daisy lost Toadstep and Hazeltail at like the same time, both from greencough, and Dustpelt lost Ferncloud and Foxleap from the DF battle, and Icecloud from greecough shortly after.
Bramblestar thought that Berrynose had the hots for Rosepetal LOL
Speaking of Rosepetal, she seems to have a bit of a temper, I'm not sure if she gets that from Daisy or Spiderleg, they both seem to have a bit of a temper.
Emberfoot and Sedgewhisker are having even more kits..or kit...they seem to have a curse where they only have one kit per litter.
It was mentioned that WindClan lost a lot of their great hunters in the DF battle, and Owlwhisker and Tornear were among those, so maybe Tornear was crap at teaching his apprentices how to fight, but he was really good at teaching them how to hunt.
That's all I have to say for now

Aww Dewpaw!
But his relief died away a moment later as he heard a whimper from deeper in the tunnel.
“Seedpaw . . . I want Seedpaw.”
“I’m here, Lilypaw.” That was Dewpaw, his voice comforting. “Lie closer to me. Seedpaw’s in StarClan now.”
That's cute that he's looking after his future sister-in-law
Wowww Blossomfall
“Patrolling with a kittypet?” Blossomfall muttered.“I’d sooner eat fox dung!"

Thanks  I actually really liked Yellowfang's Secret, it was my favorite SE that took place in the old days. So far, Bramblestar's Storm is pretty good, I liked all the jokes that they kept making about Thornclaw eating kittypets. I'm not sure how I feel about Jessy and Minty, Jessy's too snappy and Minty's kind of a snob, but that makes sense, considering that's probably how she was raised. |

Yeah I felt like Jessy was just a little bit of a Mary Sue. Constantly doing really well at things she probably shouldn't be so good at, super sassy and possibly overconfident... You don't get to see her more vulnerable side really, none of those real feelings. I mean she's not terrible because I did enjoy some of her sass, but she just kinda fit in with the clans a little too well if that makes sense. I did think it was interesting to see Bramblestar with a new love interest, but I'm still not quite sure how I feel about it.

I'm only on chapter 18, so I haven't got to see much of her yet, but I don't like how she'll snap at Bramblestar one minute, and then be all nice to him the next |

I think that's kind of an annoying trait of she-cat love interests in general in the Erins' books. :/ |

At least for the main characters, though, in Crowfeather's romances, he seemed to be the snappy one lol |

I also wish they gave Stormcloud more character? I loathe the bramblexsquirrel ship, but I don’t like jessy either. I wish bramblestar and squirrelflight just stayed single tbh |

Rowanstar is REALLY annoying in this book.
I mean, I understand about cats wanting to look strong, and what not, but geez, he's being super rude to the cats who are just trying to help him.
I think pride is the biggest downfall of a lot of the leaders in this series tbh

Well, look at how well that worked out for him lol Another thing I don't get, is how Dawnpelt is expecting kits ALREADY, a Vision of Shadows takes place 18 moons after Bramblestar's Storm, and Sleekwhisker, Strikestone, and Juniperclaw are only apprentices there. Maybe it's a Whitewing and Spiderleg situation, or maybe those three aren't her first litter. I suspect her first litter is Stonewing and Wasptail, Wasptail is even yellow like Sleekwhisker. |

I finished it!
I loved when Dustpelt died, and all of his dead family members started surrounding him, to take him to StarClan.
I also loved how they mentioned that Spiderleg was his son, and how he was sad.
I really liked this whole book over all, except Rowanstar was SUPER ANNOYING. For once, Onestar wasn't the most annoying leader in the books.
I loved Mistystar in this book.

I didn't see Rowanstar as being that bad. If anything, his hostility towards ThunderClan was understandable: Blackstar was one of the most decent leaders ShadowClan had had in awhile, and Rowanstar had to start out his own reign when the Clan was just getting over a flood, and then had to deal with kittypets and badgers on top of making sure none of his Clanmates went hungry.
Then ThunderClan gets involved with two of these events even though he never asked for them to do so and his own mate went behind his back to tell her ThunderClan brother what was going on, so some may think he's starting out his leadership with weakness. And if my theory is right, he never really recovers from this. Rowanstar's leadership ended before it really got the chance to start on a good note.

One of my sons is introduced in this book, Stormcloud, beautiful name and likeable cat.
And yeah, the cracks in Rowanclaw leadership begins in this book, he started in a bad note and ignored a lot of problems after that as well.

𝓣𝓲𝓷𝓾𝓿𝓲𝓮𝓵That does make sense, and it probably would look different from his POV. I just feel bad for ThunderClan though, all they try to do is help, and all the other clans treat them badly because of it. HazeThe scene where Stormcloud found out about his brother was soo sad/cute I loved what he said about the stars, and about him and Benny being together. This book had a lot of great character moments, like everyone teasing each other while the dens were being rebuilt

I think my favorite, is when Shrewclaw comes back from the dead in Yellowfang's Secret, and is an apprentice once again. Not only that, but his brother Barkface also got de-aged into an apprentice, along with Mudfur, who is a medicine cat apprentice named Mudpaw, even though he was a senior warrior when he decided to become a medicine cat, and he already had his full name XD |

However, I then saw Barkpaw, which made that theory invalid lol |
