I liked the beginning and end. The middle was getting kind of boring. Especially how i don’t care for any of the characters except cookedstar. Everyone else was kind of boring. Though it was nice that it intwines with bluestar’s prophecy. So we got to see the story from cookedstar’s point of view. The book was very sad though and not the most fun to read.
I also liked seeing him at the farm and learn better ways to adapt. In the beginning it stinks how cookedstar was treated and how hard he had to work in order to be respected. His apprentice ceremony was pushed back because of his jaw having to heal but i don’t think that it needed to be that long. It was at least good that he wasn’t forced into being a medicine cat like most disabled characters.
I think Mapleshade being part of the story was very unnecessary. All she did was teach him battle moves and push him to not live his life. That includes pushing away love and focus on his clan. I feel like cookedjaw could have developed that perspective on his own because he already wanted to be leader and had to work three times as hard as everyone else.

One of the best Warrior Cats books of all time, in my honest opinion. Timelines may not line up 100%, but it's such a compelling read with genuinely heartbreaking moments that made me cry the first time I read it.

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.

When I originally read the first three series of Warriors, I never delved into the Super Editions, so this book was brand new material for me. I’m so glad I decided to include these this time around.
I absolutely loved reading Crookedstar’s journey. Seeing him struggle to overcome his disability, be neglected by his mother and clan, and still work so hard to become a fierce and loyal warrior was pretty inspiring. His journey is more heartbreaking than I ever would have thought and the parallels between the events of The Prophecies Begin and Crookedstar’s life make this read a worthwhile experience for anyone following the main arcs.
