Really loved this one, it was interesting seeing Mudclaw's perspective on the leader situation, and how he genuinely believed to be in the right. Hawkfrost is a little bitch as always!!

Really cute Cloudtail and Brightheart interactions. It didn't add much to the overall lore but it was a nice read, and seeing sisterly bonding between Brightheart and Cinderpelt was sweet too.

I think this is by far my favourite book in this entire series. These new graphic novels go so incredibly hard I'm flabbergasted. Seeing how Feathertail is coping with the events from The Darkest Hour is incredibly heartbreaking and super relatable. People caring about you and trying to make it up to you, but pushing them away because you assume they're faking it or are not to be trusted? So real. Her relationship and feelings about Leopardstar are incredibly compelling too, and the scene with the fox made me feel insane. She has so many regrets, she genuinely wants the best for them! Both them and Sasha's kits! I'm going to sob.

Really satisfying ending to this trilogy! Hoot and Jumper are such dicks lol, they're so silly. I also really liked the dogs, I always like when they're not just depicted as mindless monsters!

Really liked the depiction of Barley's trauma in this, and seeing Violet again was nice! Very satisfying second chapter to this story.

I genuinely love Ravenpaw and Barley so much, they're so cute! You can really sympathize with Ravenpaw for falling for the rogues' tricks, and it was cute to see Crowkit!

I really really really love this one! I got this as a Valentine's gift and I have absolutely nothing to complain about.
I love Nightpelt and the outcasts. The elders making him feel wanted and useful and him teaching the same lesson to Volepaw when he hurts his leg? So sweet!! You can really sense this level of love and trust between all the outcasts and I loved that so much. It was such an easy comforting read too and I'll be happy to revisit it one day.
I loved how gorey this got for Warriors graphic novel/manga standards and I loved the art too!
It also really changed my opinion on Clawface. Dont get me wrong, I still dislike him, but I always seem to forget him and Nightpelt are brothers and their relationship throughout this Graphic Novel was really interesting. Nightpelt genuinely wants the best for him despite his brother's awful behavior. It was kind of sad.
Despite it being a comforting read for me, the story was dreadfully scary all the same. I loved the tension and dread that surfaced in my heart anytime kits showed up. It breaks my heart!

Such a good Super Edition! Crookedstar's increasing grief is just so heartbreaking. I wish we got to see more of the farm cats to be honest, but this was still just so good. I really liked how everything tied into Bluestar's Prophecy. We see the same exact scenes and everything, I thought that was so cute. Also, fuck Rainflower and Mapleshade.

I really liked this Super Edition! I heard a lot of people call it boring and maybe it will be once I reread it and know everything that's gonna happen, but something about SkyClan is just so sweet and comforting to me.
You could really sense the growing bond between this group of cats who previously had almost nothing to do with one another, and I wasn't expecting the Power of Three to he foreshadowed this early on.
I'd say it also gets better near the second half where tensions build and we meet more characters.
Firestar and Sandstorm's arguments were really irritating at times. I get what the Erins were trying to do with Firestar and Spottedleaf's bond through StarClan and the prophecy, but the way he was basically saying that he loves both of them in distinct ways and Sandstorm needs to accept that is crazy considering they barely talked when she was alive. I don't know, I feel like the writing was a little off there, It could've been better if it was tackled differently, and it made me feel really bad for Sandstorm, especially considering Fire and Spotted's "dream dates" were apparently unknown to her. And then Spottedleaf murmured into his ear, saying that she wishes things were different when Sandstorm was right there?? Girl that's so uncomfortable, you barely talked, you were a childhood crush and were an uncomfortable lot older than him when you were alive. At least stop feeding into it and don't go murmuring stuff into his ear when his wife is right there! I don't know, I love Firestar but his bond with Spottedleaf is weeeeiirdddd in this book especially.
Back to the good stuff though! I loved the terror of the rat fight and I love all the former rogues and kittypets, especially Cherrypaw, Echosong and Leafdapple.

Another fun Field Guide! I especially liked all the little lists of battle moves from each clan, and that story about Lionpaw was really sweet! Kinda funny how they forgot Foxheart is a she-cat though, lol.
