I liked the false omen of the eclipse, as predicted by Sol. It makes sense that a group of highly superstitious cats would interpret something as rare and frightening as the sun being dimmed as an omen. The fact that it happened during a four-way battle between the Clans made it even more dramatic. In his novella, Goosefeather was warned about many of the prophecies that would occur in the main series, but they were worded way more poetically: "The lake will run red with the blood of brothers!"
"Rivers of blood, washing away everything the Clans have known..."
"Leopard and Tiger will feast on your bones!"

My favorite is After the sharp-eyed Jay and the roaring Lion, peace will come on Dove's gentle wing.
My least favorite is To fend off a storm, you will need an extra claw.
Honorable mention to the Kin of Your Kin prophecy, I've always liked that one.

Favorite is the "blood will spill blood" prophecy. It's just so dramatic and iconic.
Least favorite is the "embrace what you find in the shadows" one. It felt like there was a lot of potential for it to be cool and it instead fell very flat imo.

Favorite: Power of Three prophecy, mostly from nostalgia and excitement.
Least favorite: Fourth cat prophecy. I don't think Firestar should have been part of it.

Favorite : before there is Peace , Blood will Spill Blood , and the lake will run red . Second favorite : there will be three , Kin of your Kin , who hold the power of the stars in their Paws . Both prophecies gave chills in a good way , foretold of something Dramatic/horrible or cataclysmic was going to happen , left you in suspense/anticipation for what comes next.
Least favorite : the clans must remember their Names Second least favorite: to fend of the storm , you will need an extra claw
Note: I could literally compile all of the prophecies from AVoS and throw them into the recycle bin, there completely void of the Clever, poignant, Poetic prose of a lot of the Originals . Instead of instilling a feeling of Mystique, Mystery and intrigue , they all just left me with a “What?” Feeling . Which is Arguably the worst Feeling a book can evoke out of you .

It felt like there was a lot of potential for it to be cool and it instead fell very flat imo. agreed on both! “blood will spill blood” is such a great one that has one of the best payoffs in the series in contrast the “embrace what you find in the shadows” prophecy is just very strange to me. it’s basically what kicks off violetshine and twigbranch’s character arcs, but it feels like it kind of just gets forgotten? I think the prophecy’s about bringing back skyclan but it never gets that really satisfying pay off where all questions are answered and stuff. it leaves you just wondering what the point of the prophecy was in the first place, which sucks because the way it initially effected violet & twig could’ve been really interesting to develop
