I still think the red option could have looked good as well but since it was clear a while ago that the blue option won I'm fine with this now.

The fact that Onestar’s personality is the opposite of light blue makes me worry they will paint him in a positive light. I sure hope not. In fact I'm wishing that they make him as unlikeable as possible.

In fact I'm wishing that they make him as unlikeable as possible. in order to write from onestar's POV, they have to make it as cowardly and indescisive as possible. if they cant manage that, then i'll start to worry when they get to TNP events and beyond...im curious when the SE will start. is it like the other past leaders where its just an overview of their life from kithood to their deaths?

True. I'm already slightly worried that they'll make it seem as if Onestar did everything "because he had no other choice" or some similar bs like that. The blurb suggests that it starts with his apprentice days (possibly a few scenes of his kithood who knows) and then just continues on after that: Follow the journey of WindClan leader Onestar from his apprentice days to his many moons leading his Clan through battle, hardship, and the long journey to the lake territories—and the checkered legacy he left behind.

I'd personally like an explanation from his POV of why he did the things he did, but I don't want that explanation to make me sympathize with him too much. I want him to remain an unlikeable character.

what i think would be cool is if onestar's "controversial" actions later in life made him extremely popular among windclan cats.

The cover actually looks pretty good. I think that this shade of light blue makes Onestar stick out more.
I hope that he'll be made as unlikable as possible too. Please Erins, don't mess this up...

I would have preferred the red since it matches his soul and vicious temper- plus the dark relations with his past kin and the fact that we already have a ton of super editions with blue accents. But I don't mind the cover more now that it's official. Still hoping he's written as shy early on and then turns antagonistic- either a vicious almost villain anti-hero or full out villain. And if he's not bullying Crowfeather in the book I will refuse to acknowledge the book's existence, I know its coming. I am almost certain of it.

everyone: he must be written as a terrible little meow meow and nothing else me: oh boy i hope his character is nuanced with both sympathetic and unsympathetic traits I'm personally hoping they take a route similar to what happened with Leopardstar's and Blackstar's books; never excusing their actions, but rather explaining them. By making Onestar a total coward and incompetent cat that seems a bit like flanderizing him? I actually really want to get inside his head and find out why he did the things he did, which I don't think would be possible just by making him "cowardly leader" as his defining personality trait.

Tbh Onestar is one of the most complex and actually morally grey characters in the entire series. His existence and actions are so important to a large portion of the series’ drama and conflict, and I love just how flawed he is, yet also how Windclan does seem to genuinely respect his leadership down the line. Shows how his internal leadership of his Clanmates might be different to how cats outside of Windclan see him. I loved how they handled Leopardstar’s flaws and complexity, and I hope they do the same with Onestar.

I can't wait for the list of mistakes. Me too. Maybe it will even beat Leopardstar's Honor in that regard. We'll see.

The idea of it being a "confession" intrigues me, like maybe this is his deathbed attempt to reconcile with the mistakes he's made and bridges he burned throughout his leadership

I don't like this design, it's not ugly enough for me. That's just not Onestar!

I like the cover, but does Onestar look more orange than brown to anyone else?
