MY EXACT REACTION. WHY GIVE DOVE X TIGER A SECOND LITTER IM SO PISSED
larkwing's mate better be slightfoot. and i don't want spireclaw x frignewhisker to happen because i shipped rootspring with fringewhisker! but im glad cinnamontail's mate is slatefur. i'm happy my boy slatefur is getting something. and im pissed about frostpaw's sister being a beautiful caliby...like why make the protag plain gray when the sister is literally so much more interesting looking? it's just so stupid how they keep making protags look less interesting compared to others around them; even worse when its the protag's sibling. and im SUPER PISSED about spotfur's kits having lame names. no sproutkit, no gladekit, nothing. just boring bristle, stem, and gray. why? just because graystripe died? boo. so boring and disappointing.

Or am I thinking of someone else? i ship him with both turtle and fringe. turtle is my first choice, but if fringe is being forced into a stupid cross clan relationship with spireclaw,, i'll be so pissed anyways.

First off, the allegiances: Strange how all of the TC apprentices are still apprentices. Especially given that the SkC kits born during TBC are already apprentices themselves. Also, Flipclaw is still not in the allegiances. A carryover from TPONS and ALITM. Thornclaw is now an elder, though. Nice to see it. And Spotfur's kits have names! Bristlekit and Stemkit are quite obviously named after Bristlefrost and Stemleaf. Actually, Bristlekit looks like Stemleaf being all orange-and-white. Also, a she-kit. Stemkit is an orange tabby tom, while Graykit is a white tom with Gray spots.
Seems Dovewing had another litter. Um, I'm guessing Rowankit is named after Rowanclaw. Maybe? She's a dark gray tabby. Birchkit is a light brown tom just like his maternal grandfather, minus being a tabby. Cinnamontail had four kits! A brown tabby tom named Firkit, a gray tabby she-cat named Streamkit, a black she-cat named Bloomkit and a gray tom named Whisperkit.
Reedclaw is mentoring Beetlepaw, who we now know is white-and-black. Originally just a tabby. Sunnypelt is mentoring Beepaw. Wrenpaw was named Wrenflight. And Blossomheart has kits. A reddish she-cat with a white nose named Ridgekit and a white tom with brown paws named Duskkit.
In WC we now have Songleap and Flutterfoot. Whistlepaw is obviously still an apprentice. Larkwing's kits are a gray tabby tom named Stripekit and a black-and-white tom named Brookkit.
Frostkit is mentored by Mothwing, which was pretty obvious. Mistpaw is a tortoiseshell-and-white tabby she-cat apprentice to Icewing and Graypaw is a silver tabby tom apprentice to Breezeheart. No queens. Also, Icewing finally has an apprentice! Splashpaw and Fogpaw are Splashtail and Fognose.
Phew, that was a lot of kits.

What!!!!!! Patrol Man Thornclaw has finally retired, and so has Brackenfur????. Thought theyโd be patrolling up until their death beds. And all of Spotfurโs kits are named after members of the fallen(Bristlekit, Stemkit and Graykit) which makes sense for her to pay respects to them by honoring their names and all, though canโt help but feel that itโs rather redundant and lazy.
Brackenfur was already an elder when The Broken Code started. It's only Thornclaw who just retired.

Ah, okay. I haven't actually read the preview yet, just the allegiances. I wasn't really expecting that, though.

Also with that teasing bit between Sunbeam and Blazefire, watch they make him yet another toxic male love interest. Can we just have a wholesome protag couple

R.I.P Jayclaw. That definitely explains and gives context to why Curlfeather is so protective of her kits. my man jayclaw :'( i was so happy he got to be the canon dad and get something, but now this? warriors will never make me happy ever again...i will be eternally disappointed and betrayed by them

Ngl. But if Iโm recalling correctly thatโs the first time theyโve used the word โSpecimenโ in the series. And for some reason sounds really bizarre and foreign in itโs context. Actually, I remember Tawnypelt calling Crowpaw an โundersized specimenโ the first time she met him in Midnight - for some reason that line always stuck in my brain. XD

Yep, Spireclaw is the only black-and-white tom in ShC. Also, that she-cat is quite clearly Fringewhisker. I wonder if this is why Spireclaw never appeared during TBC. Lol! It even said that they had loved each other for a quite a while. Ooh, Mistystar is old now. She is most likely dying soon.
I am liking Baypaw, already. He seems like quite a fun cat. They also remembered he was Flamepaw's foster brother. Wait, wasn't Nightstar not getting nine lives from StarClan a secret? How in the world does Thornclaw know this? Well, at least they remembered that Rosepetal was Mousewhisker's sister. I LOVE that Flamepaw mentioned how strange his name is when he isn't even orange. Him partially being named after Firestar doesn't surprise me. I'm glad Lilyheart is telling her grandson stories about his father, Larksong. I guess Flamepaw and Sparkpelt just aren't that close. She seems closer with Finchpaw. Ouch, Flamepaw. Wishing that Sorrelstripe was your mother. And then we have him showing off for his assessment instead of actually catching prey. This explains why Flamepaw is still listed as an apprentice on the cover of Sky.

Oh, Iโm also a tad disappointed that Cinnamontail x Blazefire didnโt happen. I really wanted it to happen, no particular reason why.

did anyone catch frostpaw being described as "white and brown" in the beginning of her chapter? i guess that's just an error? white and brown seems weirdly specific for just an error, though.
flamepaw's chapter seemed extremely exposition heavy, but i guess that's normal for the first chapter of a new arc, especially with flamepaw already having some history rather than being an apprentice who has just left the nursery. i was surprised by how much i enjoyed it - angsty characters are funny to read about.
i don't have much to say about our new protagonists yet, but i'm sure that will change as we receive more information.
well, i'm pretty disappointed with the names for the stem/spot litter. i kinda expected at least one of them to be named after stemleaf or bristlefrost, but all three of them having legacy names...i wish they'd use legacy naming just a bit more sparingly, to preserve the impact of it. looking at the cute names for some of the other new kits, like bloomkit and duskkit, makes me wish those names could have gone to spotfur's litter.
i always got the vibe that tigerstar and dovewing would want a big family, so i think it's sweet that they had more kits.

To quickly summarize initial thoughts: partly intrigued, mildly annoyed, with many mixed feelings.
- so apparently after giving Bumblestripe havoc about wishing to have kits, and about not wishing to have them herself. Sheโs already gone and had 2 litters in under 1 1/2 arcs, which makes total sense. - Spotfurโs kits names are pretty disappointing. -Flamepawโs character seems interesting, and hope theyโll be more to him than being a resentful and estranged son with his arc revolving around him and his dicey relationship with his mother -Lightleap is finally getting some characterization which is nice. However, not exactly thrilled with the direction their taking her, but itโs a start. - Tigerheart is still continuing his sanctimonious supremacy of being both Beevis & Butthead. No surprise there. - Mothwing really just needs to kick the bucket imo. - the changes being hinted at for reforming the warrior code, , and changes to leadership, political reform etc not exactly too sure on how I feel about them yet. Might do some good, or be absolutely pointless, guess weโll find out eventually.
Overall mixed feelings. Seems their introducing some fresh ideas, and changing the structure of how the clans operate and basically reinventing their culture, which could be intriguing. But also appears their might be some overused tropes, which depending on how their handled or if they implement any new, dynamic spins and twists into the mix to make it fresh, could be a hit or miss.

I love this so far. From the little that we've seen it looks like ASC will be more character driven than TBC was, which is a much needed change.
From what we can infer about the plot of River, I would guess that Frostpaw's arc is going to be the most interesting and plot-heavy. But I'm personally most excited for Flamepaw.
Also I thought it was really funny how Flamepaw was basically suggesting term limits for leaders when they were talking about changes to the code.

As much as Dove and Tiger having another litter upsets me, itโs nice that Dovewing seemed to have named a kit after her father

Chapter two and three: No, Jayclaw! :c Interesting that Frostpaw essentially predicted her father's death in a dream. She also predicted a thunderstorm. I'm not surprised that Curlfeather has soft fur, as I always saw her that way. More death flags for Mistystar. This scene was actually mentioned in her article. Seriously, Mothwing? I guess she still thinks of Shadowsight as weird. At least she acknowledges him as a brave cat. I like her description for Jayfeather, though. Uh... an Ancients mention? Frostpaw is literally wondering about them it looks like, without knowing who they are. I love how Frostpaw is just intimidated by Jayfeather. So Frostpaw knows Willowshine better than Mothwing. Yay, Whistlepaw! Sounds like she's met Barkface in her dreams. Guess she doesn't know about Shadowsight not being able to communicate with StC. Also, Willowshine!
So Sunbeam and Blazefire, huh? I guess Cinnamontail's kits aren't even born yet, but they are already in the allegiances. Nice to know that Slatefur is going to be a father. Blazefire doesn't seem to want an apprentice and Sunbeam is a rule follower. Poor, Lightleap. At least they seem to be giving her some more focus. And now Lightleap is really reckless all because she couldn't enter the DF.
