This one was an okay conclusion I guess.. Though I am not a fan of how certain scenes seem different than in other literature where this story is mentioned.

Very good, I really liked it and found it quite emotional at times. This manga is enjoyable and well told, with great artwork and dynamic characters.

No. Don't read this. You can get the story from other books, such as Tadpole's death in Mothwing's novella. But my god these books were atrocious. Terrible art, terrible pacing, terrible story. Terrible...designs?
Seriously, what is with the designs of the cats in Tigerstar and Sasha? Tigerstar is pictured as a cream tom with dark brown stripes on the second of the trio, and without his nose scar, which completely contradicts the 'dark brown tabby' we've had consistently described. Also, the cover of the third book features Sasha and Tigerstar's kits, Hawk[frost], Moth[wing], and Tadpole...But who is the grey one? Tadpole is black, Hawkfrost is a brown tabby, and Mothwing is a golden tabby. None of them are grey! At this point, though, I don't really care because these books are so not Warrior Cats that it doesn't feel like the same characters anyway.
Also, it should be called Sasha and Tigerstar, as Tigerstar is only in ⅓ of the books. I get why they called it Tigerstar and Sasha, however, as Tigerstar is a much more popular and recognisable character.
Just. Don't read these books. You don't need to. And you won't want to.

It was so sad to see Sasha losing one of her kits and learning Tigerstar is dead. I’m so glad to see Mothwing as a kit, she’s so cute. And it was great to see Riverclan for a bit because it’s my favorite clan. I was very sad when Sasha left but I understand why she had to do it.

Well, this one was a bit underwhelming. I'm not sure why, but I just couldn't get attached to the plot in the same way once they were back in the forest. I think part of it is that Sasha is a Twolegplace cat through and through, and she's never truly comfortable in the forest. Or maybe it's just that the forest is so much what I'm used to from this series that I missed the opportunity to explore a different setting.
While I wasn't too keen on this particular manga, I do recognize that it has to tie in with canon, and so they must go back to the Clans. It was a nice "fill in the gaps" type of story and I do appreciate being able to see what happened from a different point of view. It was nice seeing some of ShadowClan and RiverClan without it having to be through ThunderClan's eyes. Russetfur is an OG for watching Sasha's back like that, I never really liked her in the main series but she earned my respect here.
I feel like Tadpole was a bit of a wasted plot point, a wasted opportunity. I get that Sasha needed something to drive her back to the Clans, but I still wish we could have seen all three kits grow up in RiverClan. How would things have turned out differently if there had been three, rather than two? Would Tadpole have changed the course his brother was on? Only StarClan knows, I suppose. A fun AU idea to explore later perhaps.
It all felt a bit rushed if I'm being honest. Unlike the books, we don't have the time to watch Sasha's kits grow up, and I thought that was a detriment to this series in particular. I'd love a Sasha novella that maybe explores this time period in more detail, but we'll probably never get it since the manga already exists. Oh well. Maybe we'll get bits of it in Leopardstar's SE coming out next year!
Anyway, it is late and I am very sleepy, but I wanted to get through this one before the day was through. I've been making solid progress on my reread and I don't want to fall behind! I think this may be the time I finally catch up before the new release! Only 51 books to go! :'D
Next up we've got Code of the Clans, the second guide-type book in the series. I don't remember this one very well, since I never owned it, and I'm curious to see what it's like before we delve into our second SE with Bluestar's Prophecy! Maybe I'll even tackle it tomorrow. But for now, I shall sleep. Night~!

It could be better if the illustrator could draw the kits like they are described in the books.
