This book ripped my heart out and caught it on fire.
otherwise it was fantastic.

If you've read the Warrior Cat series then this is a must.
It answers a lot of questions from the original Warrior series (first 6 books) that you've been left wondering.
Also, it goes into depth about Bluestar's life from being a kit to the leader of Thunderclan. I've always been curious about Bluestar because we never learned much about her, so that's why I was so excited to read this book.
However, I did like Firestar's Quest a tad more, but that's just personal preference - I always liked Firestar's back story and attitude the most.
The book is also fast paced and I rarely got bored with it.
That's as much detail I can go into because I ready this about 2 years ago so my memory is a little fuzzy, but I do know this is a good book and a must read!

Bluestar’s Prophecy is my personal biggest Warriors disappointment, right after The Last Hope. I was initially so hyped for this Super Edition, since Bluestar is one of my favorite characters in the series and I’m always happy to return to the old forest.
Basically, Bluestar’s Prophecy is a biography about Bluestar that starts one day after her birth and ends with her seeing Rusty for the first time (which definitely was one of my favorite scenes of this book and made me so nostalgic). Since it literally starts with Bluekit’s second day of life, everything is completely new to her, and it was fun to get to know ThunderClan from her POV.
Obviously, Bluekit/-paw/-fur/-star is in the centre of the story which I enjoyed. Her emotions feel so complex (at least before she falls in love, which I will talk about later) and it’s interesting to see how she developed the way she did. Her childhood ended so abruptly withthe death of Moonflower , and it was only realistic that after a traumatic event like this, she would have problems working the way she did before. Her grief was depicted so well, same for her depression. Those feelings are later replaced by her ambitions of becoming a leader which I loved as well – finally, a she-cat with true ambitions – but also her jealously of Thistleclaw spending more time with her sister as she does. I could still emphasize with Bluestar after her sister died, since she probably felt so lonely at this part of her life. Her deciding to finally visit Whitekit was such a powerful scene.
I can’t say if the story is predictable or not because when someone has read The Prophecies Begin, they already know the rough details about Bluestar’s life. But you could see all the deaths coming already long before because the characters would act in a specific way that you knew they would die in the next chapter. This was literally the case for every death in Bluestar’s family. Those deaths were sad, but they served no higher purpose and were kind of random. There were just there to show us what a sad and hard life Bluestar had but there are different ways of doing this than by letting the relatives of your MC die like flies.
It was also something new that ThunderClan was not the knight in the shining armour this time, but a greyer picture of them was painted. They did some terrible things in this book, likethem wanting to destroy the herbs of WindClan. This is probably one of the worst things one Clan could do to another one since it endangers the elders and the kits in the Clan. Even though it’s sad that Moonflower died, it is only understandable that Hawkheart wanted to protect his Clan. The horrors of this fight were depicted so well through Bluepaw’s eyes .
One of the reasons though why I can’t give this book more than three stars is the love story between Bluestar andOakheart which is absolutely terrible, even though it should be one of the main plot points in this book. I already had the bad feeling that it would be an insta-love and man, it was one of the worst in the series. We don’t know any reasons why Bluefur likes him this much, they even had the cliché awkward silence when they met, since they had nothing to talk about. In the end, they literally have a one-night stand and Bluefur of course gets pregnant. Her reaction was unrealistic because she was not even shocked by this . The finale to this story arc is so amazing and epic though with Bluefur pretending that her kits are dead and her walking through the snow to meet Oakheart . Also, the moral of the story was weird: You can’t be successful as a woman if you have kids. Like … this is not true? Women can be successful and have children as well.
I also had my issues with the characters. Some of them were interesting, like Goosefeather, Pinestar, and of course Crookedjaw, the best boy. The backstory of Tigerstar is very interesting as well; even though it doesn’t justify his behaviour, you can kind of see why he ended up the way he did. It’s also interesting how Goosefeather knew how Tigerstar would end up, but no one believed him because they all think he’s weird. But then there’s Thistleclaw who is depicted so one-dimensionally as evil that it almost comedic. The conflict with him and Bluefur is interesting, but it sadly only takes up a small part of the story so I couldn’t take him as seriously as a villain.
I still like the idea behind Bluestar’s Prophecy and I love reading from her perspective, but story just didn’t sit right with me and had some aspects I can’t stand in the series, like the one-dimensional villains and especially the insta-love. Without those aspects, it would’ve been easily more than three stars. It hurts me to give this rating, since I had such good memories of this book. Around this time though, especially the love story felt shallow.

Vaya que ha sido un recorrido este libro, me llegó al corazón de una manera que no me esperaba.
Aquí nos enteramos de la vida de Bluestar, la líder de Thunderclan cuando Firestar se une en la primera saga de Warriors, y la verdad es que este spin-off superó todas mis expectativas y me sorprendió para bien. Siempre me llamó la atención su personaje y cuando me enteré de que tenía un libro acerca de su vida no dudé en investigar más sobre cómo había llegado a ser la líder de su clan.
Lleno guerras, romances prohibidos, muertes que parten el corazón, terribles gatos agresivos y abusivos, este libro fue una verdadera montaña rusa de sentimientos, pero creo que lo que más destaco de este tomo especial de la saga de gatos guerreros es lo bien hecho que está desarrollado el personaje de Bluestar, como duda de ella misma y de las decisiones de Starclan, a pesar de haber realizado bastantes errores en su vida los logró superar (algunos con más facilidad que otros) y cómo se volvió sumamente fuerte y valiente sin perder su tacto y amabilidad.
En fin, que me ha encantado y no tengo palabras para decir lo feliz que me hizo, tocando mi lado nostálgico que creció con estos personajes, y no sabía cuanto necesitaba este libro hasta ahora.

I'll admit, I didn't have especially high hopes for the book at first, considering in the other Warriors books I never really cared much for Bluestar. But I quickly realized that this was one of my favorite books in the series yet. The story takes place before any of the other Warriors books and I found it interesting to see the origins of some of the characters you already know from the other stories. Most of the cats introduced were new however, and I really enjoyed getting to know a whole new group of cats. The way the story was told, showing you Bluestar from nearly the day she was born until the place where the first Warriors book picks up, was refreshing and you couldn't help but love Bluestar. From the first sentence I was hooked and hated to put the book down.This book made me cry at least three times, something no other Warriors book has ever managed to do, and I found at the end that I had grown an attachment to the character that had once held little place in my thoughts.
Ever wonder how Bluestar became leader or what she did as a kit. This book is all about Bluekit, Bluepaw, Bluefur and Bluestar. How she lost her kits and why. Who loved Bluefur and who Bluefur loved.
