I’m not really sure how to rate this book. Most of the book was pretty boring, then when it got interesting I found it difficult to get invested in Clear Sky’s redemption/growth arc until like the very end because they butchered the catalyst for his change so freaking badly in the previous book. 
I liked Star Flower’s character, but I wish they’d taken it further. She wilted at the end, when she really could have stood out if they’d committed more with her. 
I did like Clear Sky somewhat by the end. It was cool to see him gradually learn from the other cats how to be a good leader and cool it with the paranoia and incredibly fragile pride. I just feel gaslit by the end of the last book so it’s hard to really get into what they’re trying to do with him.
