This book countinues the endless story of the cats of the clans. Though it was not the best I've read in the series, I was again not disappointed. She always meets my expectations. The only thing I don't like as much in these books, is that every book a cat has to die. I suppose it happens to keep the story moving along, but sometimes I want to keep my eyes dry and hear about their lives. But, perhaps that would get boring. I'm just hoping that in the next few books, something besides death will happen to keep the story moving along. I really enjoyed the relationship between Crowfeather, and Leafpool. They acted like they hated each other, even though there was always something more...
Anyway, I still recommend this series to anyone and hope you enjoy reading it!

**Spoilers below! (reviews are imported from Goodreads and Storygraph deleted the spoiler tags and I'm too lazy to add them for every book individually lol)**
It was fun to discover the new territory together with the cats in Starlight, mainly Brambleclaw and Leafpool.
Brambleclaw and Squirrelflight are cute together but I was kind of annoyed of them here. Their conflicts reminded me of Fireheart and Sandstorm where Sandstorm would also just run away if she was angry with Fireheart. They should honestly just talk.
I don't know if Squirrelflight is rightfully angry at Brambleclaw because of Hawkfrost though. I see her problem, but I still think his characterization is flat that he's "evil". But I love the idea that Tigerstar is still present and has never really left the forest. It shows us how big his influence was and still is.
Another character that annoyed me was Leafpool. What does she find in Crowfeather? He's unfriendly to her and they talk like three times in this book. So, the confession of Crowfeather came kind of out of nowhere.
I also don't know why Onewhisker is so different and stupid here, I've liked him before. I can understand that he's struggling with the death of Tallstar. I do too! He was one of the few characters that was there throughout the whole series and I've always liked him; I will really miss him.
The writing style is very good as always, but this time the many rhetorical questions bothered me. I don't know if there were so many in the books before. I also noticed a small inconsistency: Shouldn't medicine cats keep their dreams of the StarClan to themselves? I mean, Leafpool is telling Crowfeather about one of her dreams, I thought this was forbidden.
I first wanted to give Starlight three stars but then ending scene came which was so good! I noticed how much I've missed fights between the cats, and I loved how Brambleclaw and Squirrelflight were fighting side by side. The scene where Brambleclaw chased the two other cats was so epic and atmospheric with the rain, the darkness and the thunder. The following death scene of Mudclaw was so powerful and epic too. I actually didn't remember the conspiracy of Hawkfrost and Mudclaw, so I was surprised by it. But I think Brambleclaw is a bit naive for believing Hawkfrost that he did not want to take over the RiverClan. I don't know why he would believe him, only because he's his (half-)brother? It was a bit unbelievable that he would believe him this simply.

Now that the cats finally arrived to their new home, I had kind of a hard time adjusting to it too, since the book despites various POV's and all the main characters and in a weird place of mind right now. At the end the book got back to the series' usual drama-filled pace and the end was so good.

Although I definitely enjoyed these more as a kid, I still find them enjoyable. They're a great break from the high fantasy I usually read because they're super quick. Sure, I get irritated by them at times, but they're a nostalgia read for me.
This arc isn't one of my favorites. The angst between Brambleclaw and Squirrelflight is much more irritating than it used to be, as its just miscommunication. Leafpaw played a bit too big of a part in this one for my tastes, her parts are too whiny and the foreshadowing is painfully obvious.
I know this is a children's book, but I do wish the relationships were developed a bit more. Especially the one between Crowfeather and Leafpool. They were professing their love at the end, and it just felt a bit sudden and unnecessary.
I love revisiting this series every few years as a quick read, and this time is no exception

Me pone tan nostálgica leer los libros de esta saga :).
Aquí finalmente los cuatro clanes encuentran su nuevo hogar y logran dividir el terreno de manera que todos tengan el territorio que les conviene, que a mi parecer se solucionó de una manera muy perfecta para parecer real, pero la verdad es que me dejó tranquila poder ver que entre todos los gatos de los diferentes clanes no se formaron más conflictos de los que podrían tener, ya que ahora están ya todos acostumbrados unos a otros.
Me gusta que este libro trata mucho el tema del conflicto entre ser leal al clan y el código y las nuevas amistades formadas entre el viaje, que me parece un tema bastante interesante que causó bastantes temas conflictivos en el libro, y el problema de Brambleclaw de la duda de muchos de sus compañeros a causa de su padre.
A pesar de ser un libro de público infantil tiene estos temas que dan para pensar y que me encanta leer y reflexionar acerca de ellos.
