This book was amazing and I can't wait for a forest divided to come out. All warriors fans will love it! And there's some exciting news at the end of the bonus scene. I'll just leave you to read the book and figure that out

The sickness storyline could have been composed a little better - it just got sidelined - but the drama with One Eye YES! Give me more please!! I also read the majority of this with my own little kittypet <3 who tbh would not survive that warrior cat life :(

There was a lot at stake in this volume, and I feel that I've really started to connect with the characters of this Warriors series. Though I've liked the past installments of Dawn of the Clans, I feel The Blazing Star is really the best book in DOTC so far. It's very exciting.

I still really like this series but this is where the series start to gets weaker. This is set after the big battle. Both groups are listening to starclan and are keeping the peace. Clear Sky calms down and is no longer picking fights. There aren’t any more boundaries. There is illness that spreads to the prey and cats. Clear Sky gets a redemption arc and actually over corrects himself. He trusts a cat that may as well have writing on his forehead saying “I’m Evil”.
One-eye is actually a great villain. When he fully goes villain he is really threading. He is not really a twist villain because every cat sees it coming except Clear Sky. The book isn’t trying to hide it at all. He is enough of a threat that the groups come together to defeat him. They should of given one more book to One-eye. The next villain is pretty similar to one-eye so why not?
Starting with this book prophecies do come back. The cats acknowledge how annoying it is.
We get introduced to Star flower and I actually liked her in this book.
The instant love can be annoying though.

The Blazing Star continues the story around the creation of the Clan. With every book, we see more how the cats start to separate themselves into different groups which will become the Clans at some point. This one gets 3.5 stars, since the plot is kind of going in circles and the characters behave really stupid.
The plot was really not that great. Instantly after it was created, StarClan starts to give riddles and even the living cats themselves are annoyed by that. The riddle is also very easy to solve for the reader, so it gets boring fast with the cats still trying to figure it out.
Clear Sky has some problems here too, but those problems are his own fault honestly. I still dislike him and can’t feel any sympathy for him at all. His actions and especially his change in character are a bit unbelievable: two books before, he threw out all cats of his groups that were ill, and now he feels really sorry for Tom and takes him and One Eye in. One Eye is such a cartoonish villain and even Clear Sky should have noticed that something is not right with him from the beginning .
Still, the worst thing about this arc are how fast the characters fall in love with each other, it is seriously such a meme: Gray Wing now has his third love interest, I think? We also have Thunder falling in love with Sky Flower – one of the worst romances in the whole series (yes, I said it). She is such a weird character and like with One Eye, it is clear from the beginning that she has no good intentions and Thunder is so stupid for not seeing this. Let’s be real: Thunder is just a big simp and I seriously start to dislike him for this weird behaviour. The fact that she was One Eye’s daughter made me laugh out loud because it was such a ridiculous plot twist. .
At least the ending of The Blazing Star was enjoyable: The plan with forcing One Eye’s cats to look into the sun was creative and I liked how they jumped from the trees like true ThunderClan cats. One Eye’s death came a bit quick
In contrast to other Warriors book, we already know the final result of Dawn of the Clans: the creation of the Clans. This makes this arc not as tiring as other books of the series but still, the arc becomes a bit drawn out at this point.
