shoutout Sandstorm for having one of the worst deaths in the series
. Alderpaw is a boring main character and yet again uses the hesitant medicine cat and forbidden love tropes... I'm more interested in his sister as a character and it might be interesting to see her have a perspective in the later books.

Finally, the Warriors series is picking up again! I really enjoyed the beginning of this arc and am annoyed that I have to wait for the next book to be available.

Most of the reviews are saying how they weren't happy with most of the original characters being gone. I didn't find this to be accurate or at all. There isn't too much of a jump in time, and the series has been progressing to new characters as protagonists, while keeping old protagonists involved in the background. Yes, most of the characters from the first arc are older/gone, but I like the freshness of these 'newer' characters. It develops the world more and shows the passing of time. There's only so many stories you can do with characters before it gets boring.

The Apprentice's Quest introduces Alderpaw, Bramblestar's and Squirellflight's son. I enjoyed the story following him and only him. He reads much like Leafpool, a character I have always liked. His sister, Sparkpaw, reads like a younger version of her mother. I got tired of her quick. I think she will be annoying and I am more so focused on Alderpaw.

The story, as a whole, was good. I can't wait to see what happens with
SpoilerSkyClan, and the two kits found
.

SpoilerI also can't believe they separated the kits! I never was a fan of Rowanstar. This has made me dislike him even more.

5 stars! really like the new characters (especially alderpaw) So much potential for all of them. Don't want to spoil anything so I'll leave it at this. Really good new arc start~ highly recommend.

I really enjoyed this book, and I hope that the SkyClan plot thread isn't left unfinished for the rest of the series. I hope that Leafpool, Sharpclaw, Echosong, and Cherrytail are alright! I think that Alderpaw and Needlepaw are going to try to end up together in the end, but as we know, that won't work out.
