Given the fact that we haven't had a really amazing book four since like, arc three and the last two book fours have been so terrifyingly "meh", I'm not sure what to think about Thunder. I'd be surprised if it ended up being really good. My personal favorite of ASC so far is Shadow, it'll take a lot to beat that.

Yes, very excited. Definitely see your point on not having a good main series book four in a while, though. But I think ASC's plot can hopefully handle it.

One one hand, I'm very excited for it but on the other one, I'm a bit worried that there'll be some more inconsistent characterization for a few cats again like it happened during Sky with Finchlight and Sparkpelt in the beginning (although I nowadays no longer think that it was mischaracterization and instead moreso just not showcased well/properly explained about how Finchlight went from supporting Nightheart at the end of River regarding his name change to telling him that he'll give Sparkpelt indigestion at the start of Sky). There was like one quick line about Nightheart's internal thoghts where he said she might just be tired of being caught in the middle of her mother and brother not really getting along but it's a blink and you miss it sentence (while he's on his way to the medicine den).
Also, since Kate is writing this book/has finished writing it, I'll mentally prepare for more BrambleSquirrel drama bs just in case (since she also wrote that into Sky and wrote SqH as well, after all).

Super excited! Don’t exactly agree book 4’s have been terrifyingly meh. Aside from Darkness Within & The Blazing Star I’ve enjoyed them just fine. Expecting Thunder to beat Shadow would be a pretty tall order. But I have faith that it’ll at least match or come close(presuming Kate doesn’t do something incredibly radical). And there doesn’t appear to be any planned Dark Forest shenanigans, so I’ve got my hopes up.

For the most part I’ve enjoyed book fours. The only books that are bad are The Raging Storm, and Squirrelflight’s Hope. Tigerheart’s Shadow was actually decent without the whole Rippletail, Slatefur mix up. I’m personally really excited for Thunder. As I’m a huge fan of the spiritual I do hope both the Dark Forest and Star Clan are involved. The spiritual, afterlife aspects are my favorite part of the warrior cat world. Overall I’m looking forward to Thunder.

I've been getting a kick out of this arc, so I'm honestly excited for Thunder. A Starless Clan has felt kind of like a slow burn thus far, which IMO is a good thing, so I have a bit of hope that it won't fall victim to the same issues that a lot of other book fours have. At the very least it might be very funny.
