Not sure if I have to add a spoiler but I'm going to try anyway. After finishing Darkness Within today I noticed puddleshine not doing much of anything to defend shadowsight in this book and not sharing things with him (kinda giving shadowsight the silent treatment) . It upset me a little because puddleshine was shadowsights mentor, and I'm curious as to why he is acting this way. It could possibly be that he doesn't trust shadowsight, but I'm not sure.
Do you think puddleshine should have been nicer to shadowsight? I think so

That really shocked me too, but I think the writers just wanted us to feel super bad for Shadowsight, like how they did with Mapleshade, by having pretty much everyone be against her. However, something else that could be the case, is that he's still a very young cat, and maybe he thought an older, more experienced medicine cat like Mothwing knew more? He probably also figured his words wouldn't hold much weight, and he probably didn't want to risk getting demoted too or something. I can see a lot of factors at play here.

It's understandable for Puddleshine to distrust Shadowsight when he was the one who accidentally got Bramblestar killed by listening to the "mysterious StarClan cat" aka Ashfur who told him about Bramblestar getting sick and that the only cure was to bury him in snow. Shadowsight was manipulated but this still made it look as if he had been working together with Ashfur (despite him not knowing who he was and not having any bad intentions). Him being tasked with tending to Ashfur's wounds also didn't help in disproving those suspicions.

Chicken Agreed, I do like lightleap noticing her bother struggling and inviting him on patrol. I thought that was sweet at least. I was wondering if it might be because he thinks he's responsible for letting his apprentice do so much damage and getting hurt.

𝕱𝖑𝖚𝖙𝖙𝖊𝖗𝖋𝖆𝖑𝖑 Yeah, I can see that. I would like to think he would at least talk to him though, they seemed to have a very close bond beforehand. But I guess a lot has happened

But I guess a lot has happened I feel bad for Shadowsight as well but the circumstances really made him look bad. So Puddleshine and most other cats went along with this narrative and thought he was somehow involved in Ashfur's schemes.

𝕱𝖑𝖚𝖙𝖙𝖊𝖗𝖋𝖆𝖑𝖑 True, we do have an insiders perspective on whats really going on. It be hard to not see shadowsight as bad news if you weren't one of the main POV's or his parents. I still do feel for him though, its a tough situation

I'm not going to spoil anything from TPoNS and we all have yet to find out and see what will happen to him and the other characters in ALitM.

It's sad, but I'm not surprised that Puddleshine didn't defend Shadowsight. You have to remember that Shadowsight had REALLY screwed up then and I can't blame him at all for giving Shadowsight the silent treatment.
