Ok Was anyone else also really confused by Sunbeam moving to ThunderClan. Like it just felt like such a 180 from her final chapter. The book was so good excerpt that final chapter.

No. It made perfect sense to me and I thought they built it up and wrote it very well, with her constant dreams about her possessiveness of Nightheart and other stuff

It actually didn't make sense to me. Isn't she supposed to be in RiverClan right now? Full-time? It just seems like another dream scene cause it doesn't line up.

I figure she left before she was supposed to go to RiverClan. She didn’t feel comfortable going there in the first place, and honestly I think the conflict with RiverClan and ShadowClan may have influenced her decision to leave.

They included Nightheart's decision to leave for ShadowClan, but Sunbeam doesn't get her decision to leave for ThunderClan included in the book? It seems random. Surely she'd say goodbye before she left, she isn't like Nightheart. They wouldn't leave out something big like that.

I thought it was really weird that we didn't get to see her leave. I'm wondering if they're saving the scene for the next book or something. I also wonder when she left. Did she leave in front of everyone in the middle of camp? Or did she sort of sneak off and go to Thunderclan without saying anything?

It was definitely out of left field. Did not see it coming narratively, but like, in a bad “plot twist” way.

I don't really see how it's out of character. She spent the whole book with him, and they both began to bond and develop appropriately. I don't think she'd just throw that away just for one moment, and her mother being a snake trying to manipulate her. She even notes the next day, after having a clear mind, that her mother was still being terrible and trying to take advantage of her. Considering the current state of her clan being an utter mess as well, I don't see why she wouldn't leave to join ThunderClan at that point.
Even from a writing perspective, this could still be seen as her getting to know ThunderClan life more and making her decision. When it came to Nightheart, he was actually very much fine staying loyal to ShadowClan, it's because of Bramblestar that he returns though, and because he's more mature that he finally works things out with others. But Bramble was his priority.
Sunbeam suddenly showing up is just a call back to when Nightheart did the same in ShadowClan, and it was left on an obvious cliffhanger. One that can easily be explained by the next book's prologue, or from Sunbeam's POV later.

I was really surprised about that but it makes sense, considering Nightheart had left so suddenly when they thought they were going to have a future together. I'm just sad that there won't be a ShadowClan POV anymore though.

It definitely surprised me. Though, it's not completely out of character. Everything was building up to it. He thoughts of Nightheart, the life she truly wanted to have with him, the fact she really didn't want to go to RiverClan and left right before she had to. I wish we got a POV of her leaving though, and not just her showing up randomly. It was not timed right in my opinion, but still not really off. I hate they left it on such a good cliffhanger though. Can't wait for the next book to see her decision!
