I can ask them to perhaps post the screenshots they have if you want?
Edit: Just did. And now we wait.
Another Edit: They (Munasiga) just said on Featherblaze/star's thread that they have to work and won't be replying further to people and while I have the screenshots I'm not just going to post them without their permission. All I know besides that is they got the spoilers from a reddit discord thread/server talking about ALitM.
Final Edit: Munasiga replied and said to go ahead with me posting so I will post the screenshots and further spoilers for the ending as well as credit to the people who got them first right now. Prepare/brace yourselves!

ALitM Ending Bristlefrost sacrifices herself to defeat Ashfur on page 267 and dies forever like Spottedlesf did in OotS. The rest of this book deals with the characters grief over her loss and moving on. Graystripe either dies from a wound Ashfur (or Mapleshade) gave him right after this scene. Crowfeather is not dead and was probably just there to visit Leafpool (and potentially Hollyleaf). Another thing that doesn't get spoiled in this scene but Munasiga told me about is the fact that both Bramblestar and Squirrelflight survive. Credit to Munasiga for sharing these screenshots with me and Spinestar from the Reddit thread for posting these spoilers in the first place. Thank you so much.

On one hand, bold of them to do another Gray Wing. On the other, why couldn't they have killed Bramblestar and Squirrelflight as well? Also, poor Ivypool and Fernsong. No parent should outlive their child and now I see what a potential Ivypool SE could've been about if set after TBC. But at least Ashfur's been defeated again.

𝓣𝓲𝓷𝓾𝓿𝓲𝓮𝓵Bristlefrost wasn't even my favorite out of the three protagonists and I'm still extremely sad the authors chose to kill her off of all the other options. I cried reading her death the first time and my jaw dropped. BrambleSquirrel should have died in this book to have some actual consequences for them as characters and ThunderClan's leadership but that didn't happen and is quite disappointing to me too.

Y’know what, no. Nope, nope, NOPE. I can handle Bristle dying to stop Ashfur. It’s fitting, in a way; she was accidentally his biggest supporter and now she gets to put an end to him. Not as fitting as Shadow doing it, and not as satisfying as Squirrel doing it, but it’s narratively sound.
But I’m not accepting her being permadead anymore than I’m accepting Snowtuft being permadead. And I’m certainly not accepting them sparing BrambleSquirrel so they can continue dragging out MORE relationship drama while one of the best ships they’ve made gets THIS. Her spirit is just wandering the Dark Forest and will someday get out, along with Snowtuft’s. That’s my headcanon and they can pry it from my cold dead hands.

I'm really sad they decided to kill off bristlefrost, despite everything she's been one of my favorites from the arc
I always had a feeling they might do this, but I'm still very shocked they decided to actually go through with it.
I really hope we can get an Ivypool novella to get her feelings on this

They could've at least killed off Bramblestar while they were at it, but nooooo.
You wouldn't happen to have a summary for the rest of the book, would you?

The ending annoys me so much that I don’t even know what to say... it’s not even what happened in it (and honestly, I predicted what happened or something similar because there is only so many different ways the situation could go). It’s just that this arc has been so unlike Warriors and the fact that Warriors has always had its dark or supernatural moments, but the entire series, especially the ending just feels like dark for the sake of being dark and supernatural moments coming out of nowhere (almost like someone’s alternative universe fanfiction, even if the arc itself is written fairly well). I can see why people like it and enjoy the change of pace, but to me it just feels like the authors write a good story at the expense of everything that makes warriors recognizable. I feel like I was reading some other book series with the Warriors name on it throughout this entire arc, and I still feel that way. I’m really hoping that this next arc is a return to form, even if there is some of the newer elements mixed in. And I really hope it’s a bit more lighthearted and more slice of life after all of this drama in this arc... i’m all for action and plot, but this was just a bit too much... from what we read of the summaries, I feel like one of the themes will be passing the torch (Flamepaw and Frostpaw’s stories), so I would love to see that. Maybe it would be dealing with the changes there, so it focuses more on the lighthearted internal conflict. It would be nice to have a bit of a breather after after all of this...

I only found out about this ending through Munasiga who is currently at work but they said to have gotten the screenshots and spoilers from a reddit discord server/thread made by someone called Spinestar. I'm currently trying to find it. Edit: I found their announcement which was only posted a day ago although it says they have already had the book 12 days early. www.reddit.com/r/WarriorCats/comments/qj5oz3/spinestar_here_got_a_light_in_the_mist_12_days/

How exactly did Bristlefrost kill Ashfur though, and why did she need to die to do it? I missed the whole context of the scene from the screenshot you gave, what exactly happened?
So mad about Bramblestar though (I accept Squirrelflight, but what was the point of doing all this to Bramblestar to just plop him back in as leader like nothing happened where he can continue to get as old as Mistystar?)
Having characters die often makes me appreciate the character more... so now I appreciate Bristlefrost more as a character.
Did anyone else die in the battle besides Bristle and Graystripe?

yeah i’m done with this series I think it might be because she died as a spirit instead of with her mortal body. Without her spirit she can't go to starclan

I'm perfectly fine with Bristlefrost not going to StarClan, it makes the death more impactful than if she just could appear as a spirit all the time. Having something sad happen is not bad writing...
(Though does this mean that Beetlewhisker didn't get to go to StarClan either (if they ever acknowledge he's dead)
