*SPOILERS FOR THE POWER OF THREE ARC I guess*
I've been rereading the warriors series and enjoying it. It's been almost 10 years since I last read the first three series.
Upon rereading I have become confused on when Jaykit, Lionkit, and Hollykit were born (and when Leafpool began expecting kits).
I have just finished Sunset. The New Prophecy arc took place mostly during Leaf Bare. When the clans arrived at the lake it was Leaf Bare (despite no mention of snow). At the end of Twilight and during Sunset it is mentioned that things are starting to grow and New Leaf is just around the corner. It may have already been New Leaf as Two Legs were coming to the lake to go boating, but there was no indication it was definitely Green Leaf.
Now I have always assumed that Leafpool began expecting her kits during those brief days when she ran away with Crowfeather in Twilight. Having just started the Sight, Jaykit mentions that the leaves are frosted and Stormfur says outright that it is Leaf Bare. Sorreltail's kits are already apprentices (and implied to become warriors soon I think) which means at least 6 moons have pasted.
Cats are expecting kittens for about 2 months, or 2 moons. I believe that was about how long it took for Sorreltail to give birth in the New Prophecy arc, so the Erins must know it. In addition (though not evidence), all artistic renditions I've seen of the birth of Jaykit, Lionkit, and Hollykit seem to be in the dead of Leaf Bare. I should mention that I have not yet read Leafpool's Wish.
But anyway, my point is-Sunset ended at the onset of New Leaf. The Sight starts with the kits in Leaf Bare. If cats only expect kittens for 2 moons, then the only plausible explanation is that Leafpool must have sneaked away to meet Crowfeather in Leaf Fall in between Sunset and The Sight. BUT THAT DOESN"T MAKE SENSE EITHER!
So if anyone has anything to offer to help clear up my confusion, it would be much appreciated. Otherwise I could just chalk it up at an editing error.
