Nice! I guess this confirms that Mistystar is still alive at the end of the arc, unless she is someone’s spirit advisor. Great that RC it’s getting a point of view, and it seems like they’re going back to the formula a bit more in terms of things like supernatural happenings from what I can gather. That would be kind of cool as the last arc was, I feel like it changed a bit too much of the setting to feel like Warriors. And I’m wondering what the changes will be, and I’m thinking one of them will be about love between Clans. I’m noticing Bristlefrost or possible kits aren’t mentioned here, so I’m wondering if this confirms she moved to Skyclan. It’s really interesting that one of the main conflicts is living up to Firestar’s Legacy. aside from Bramblestar’s Storm, that hasn’t really been addressed, and when problems with Legacy arise, it’s usually because someone has a villain, not a hero. But I could see that putting a lot of pressure on someone and them fighting to not collapse from the pressure... overall, this looks very nice! Now I’m even more interested in what the final book of this arc will be like!

it's kinda funny that flamepaw is getting the character arc that everyone initially assumed sparkpelt would receive. i can't say i blame the guy, though. it's not just firestar's legacy that he might feel he has to live up to, but sandstorm, squirrelflight, and leafpool's, too.
i'm hoping that frostpaw will grow into a boisterous, confident cat. a lot of our medicine cats lately have been very shy and awkward, (or grouchy, in jayfeather's case) and it would be a neat twist to see a medcat who is more personable and outgoing.

The cover is so pretty and I'm excited to get back to RiverClan again! I'm also relieved that there will in fact be consequences after TBC.

Can't wait to finally see Mistystar get iced. plot twist she survives the entire arc Mistystar survives, and Squirrelflight will become leader. Oof.

Frostpaw sounds so cute! I'm so glad my theory was correct. I wonder who her parents are. Also Sunbeam - yes!!!! I'm very excited for this. I'm surprised Mistystar is still alive. I looked at the allegiance in TPONS and curlfeather is frostpaw's mother! I wonder why Flamepaw is still an apprentice though. wasnt he apprenticed in the first book? Flamepaw was a kit in the first book, but an apprentice by the time the second book started.

i saw someone say they were surprised that one of breezepelt's daughters wasn't chosen as a pov character, and i can see where they're coming from. now that we just got a shadow in riverclan and frostpaw is on her way, windclan might start feeling underrepresented. at the same time, i think sunbeam could be a neat choice. she isn't tied to any past important characters or families (other than her being needletail's sister, but i can't recall them ever interacting) and she's basically a clean slate in that regard. i wonder what kind of personality she'll have. Nope. Sunbeam was born after Needletail died.

Completely unimportant, but I'm glad that it looks like Flamepaw has amber/orange eyes because it matches my headcanon for him lol
The cover looks so good!

I think the cover for this looks gorgeous! I believe that the way the blurb is set up, and how in the initial reveal of the arc has the Clan symbols starting with RiverClan going to WindClan at the end, I really do think that this arc might be the last one. I would not be surprised if they have different POVs for each book like an anthology series. If this is the case, then I’m happy to see Warriors go out on a strong note. I think that the story (as of the main arcs are concerned) may be finally put to rest, and the editors and the Erins can move on creating something else within the Warriors Universe or something completely fresh and new. I would love to see the characters from Dawn of the Clans make a return and continue that story, but we’ll have to see how this pans out.

Okay, I just remembered this. When Thornclaw was complaining about the nepotism in TC while arguing with Lionblaze he asked if Lionblaze would name Sparkpelt or Flamepaw his deputy. Thornclaw is noted to have glared at Flamepaw who shrunk back in discomfort.

Also, way to go to everyone who guessed the title, Clan, and which of Curlfeather's kits would end up becoming a medicine cat! Sunbeam is very much unexpected though and I'm wondering if, like Flamepaw, at least part of her story arc will also deal with her family (in her case, Needletail). I think it'd be interesting if she somehow ended up forming a friendship with Violetshine over it.
I also find it interesting that Flamepaw is feeling anxious over his legacy. Sparkpelt—the one who is actually noted to be the spitting image of Firestar—never had to go through this (at least not that we've seen) and neither did Alderheart (technically he was more concerned with trying to make Bramblestar proud than trying to live up to Firestar's name), so I just find it interesting that this concern skipped to him.
Also, I'm wondering if him still being an apprentice will actually be addressed. I'll even take something like "there was alot going on last time".
As for Frostpaw, I'm just happy to finally get a RiverClan PoV and it'll be interesting to see what Mistystar is like through her eyes. And speaking of Mistystar, can she please die already? I wonder if she will in this arc.
The title is so simple and I think we haven't had single word titles since Sunrise, but since this is the first book, I'm wondering if it'll follow a similar pattern that TNP did (except in this case, it'll be named after the different Clans). I'm wondering if we'll also be getting WindClan and SkyClan PoVs in this arc, but that'd probably be too much unless they go with a new cat for each book.
And again, I'm glad that whatever happens at the end TBC will have actually consequences that will still be felt in the next one. The warrior code is changing, finally, and I couldn't be happier!

Ooooh, what if Mistystar has dementia, causing Frostpaw to have to deal with it somehow? That would be such an interesting arc.

I have a feeling this could be the last arc. I thought I would say that for the last arc, but this one has a bit of a finality to it. It feels like things are coming full circle. If it is, the series has had one heck of a run, being around for almost 20 years and over 50 books. I could never have dreamed the series could have gone on this long have been this successful, and I don’t think the authors did either.

Wow this is probably my favorite new style cover so far. Honestly the mains for this seem pretty solid as well. Although I'm a bit disappointed that Misty isn't dead yet. Like, come on Misty just die. As for Frostpaw, heck YA Riverclan POV! I'm glad she is the new med. For Sun and Flame, it seems like those two will be decent as well, however I wonder if Flame will just be another Alderheart repeat in regards to not feeling good enough. Sun seems like a clean slate so interested to see what they do with her. Although like others have mentioned, the main cast does seem a bit, random. Idk though, interested nonetheless

A RiverClan POV??? Frostpaw sounds adorable??? Mistystar is still alive??? Sunbeam is the cutest name ever??? Flamepaw sounds like he has a storyline other Firekin could have had???
I’m super excited! If the first book is called River does that mean we’ll eventually get a Shadow, Sky, Thunder, Wind, and Star? And since there seems to have been a change to the warrior code I’m curious about how TBC wraps up. (Also I will be alarmed if Mistystar is still alive by the end if this new arc. She is ancient, let her rest!)

I wonder if there’ll be some kind of friendship between Flamepaw and Spotfur’s kits considering both of their fathers died when/before they were born. If Mothwing goes back to Riverclan I wonder how she’ll deal with the trauma of losing Willowshine while having to train Frostpaw.
