Yesterday I reread Into the Wild for the first time in like ten years. I’m now on Fire and Ice. I haven’t read any of the new books in a really long time so please no spoilers past omen of the stars. But as I was reading, I noticed how wild and dangerous the cats felt to me. For example, they were very serious about trespassers and those who break the warrior code. Like they were not going to mess around with Yellowfang, and would have killed her if they felt it was necessary no questions asked. Or when they rescue the kittens from ShadowClan, they had injuries. And when Frostfur I think chased Ravenpaw away from the nursery. I really liked all of these scenes. It just made everything seem so much more wild. I felt like there was a real threat and that these cats were so much different from the house cats Firepaw came from. I also noticed the cats expressed more cat like behaviors which was nice, because I don’t remember these in the later books I read, but I could be wrong. Like they would roll in the dirt a lot, brush against each other, groom each other, pick their claws, all stuff that I have seen cats do in real life. So yeah. Those are just some things I noticed while I was reading that stood out to me because I don’t remember them at all.

Everytime I re-read TPB I'm noticing how much better StarClan was as this more obscure power not getting too involved in the living cats business and generally being secretive and mysterious over instead having become hypocritical and manipulative. They started this downward spiral already back in TNP but have not improved again ever since then.

I've noticed how the authors clearly had no idea where their story was headed in the PoT and OOTS combo. I noticed this when I read it the first time, but obviously only after I had read the last book. Re-reading it, it's clear they just throw a bunch of mysterious stuff at the plot to fill in the books. I remember being SOOO interested in how the three prophecy would manifest--the books made it sound like it would be so epic and mysterious--but at the final battle, their powers barely play into the resolution.

I noticed how annoying Tawnypelt was in TNP. Basically the whole point of her character was to say “hurry up” to conclude some character bonding or whatever was happening at that moment.

Either I had forgotten this or just never noticed somehow, but Cloudstar's Journey references DOTC. I was rereading it the other day and a StarClan tells Cloudstar that SkyClan was the first clan to establish boundaries, and their first leader, Clear Sky knew the importance of setting borders. This shocked me upon reading it, because in my mind Cloudstar's Journey had come out years prior to The Sun Trail, when really it was released a few months earlier lol. So I guess it's not that big a deal but it still surprised me.
