Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Listen, the characters in this book are mostly defensive, incompetent, and make stupid decisions, but this book somehow slaps anyway. Fireheart acts like an idiot and a lot of problems could probably have been avoided if the characters made better decisions, but there’s so much I love about this book that I was able to overlook it. And to give Fireheart credit, Bluestar’s

mental and emotional decline in this book

is brutal. He should never have been named deputy, he’s not ready and

Bluestar is certainly doing nothing to help him

.
Besides, the cats doing stupid stuff and worldbuilding and conflicts not making sense if viewed with scrutiny is a problem in every book, so it’s not unique to this one, just particularly bad. Once I decided to not take things very seriously and just have fun, the plot and Bluestar’s character scenes were gripping and so compelling! So much happens in this book, I had a blast! I also honestly teared up a little at the end. I just really enjoyed this one!

wafer's review against another edition

2.0

This tested my patience a bit, mainly with how utterly unreasonable Bluestar and Sandstorm were. The fact that the climax is a direct copy of Watership Down’s is especially egregious.

I enjoyed it just as much as the last books. My only gripe is firehearts relationship with sandstorm. Though on the bright side I thought there was an extra element of fear that was enjoyable. And, not overcomplicating natural enemies made it fun to read.
