A review by theravenflight
Legends of the Clans by Erin Hunter
4.0
This was a quick read, as the novellas typically are. They feature short stories centered around one cat. This time, they feature Spottedpaw/leaf, Pinestar, and Thunderstar. I will review each novella separately, but they are all included in the paperback.
Spottedleaf's Heart
This novella is probably the most notorious in the Warriors fandom right now, and for good reason. However, I may be in the minority when I say I enjoyed it. I do not get easily triggered by books, but I have seen reviews from other fans saying that this novella was too much. Without giving anything away, I'll just say there is a relationship in which an adult cat and a very young cat are in love. If that does not bother you, I would recommend reading it: the relationship does add some new information about old characters. I do think that the relationship was unnecessary, and Spottedleaf is one of my least favorite cats, so I give this one a 3/5.
Pinestar's Choice
I was not expecting to enjoy this one as much as I did. This instantly became one of my favorite novellas of the series. I haven't been affected by a Warriors book in a long time, but this one left me sad for some time. I felt neutral about Pinestar before, but this book changes everything. Please read this, especially if you enjoyed Bluestar's Prophecy. For me, this one was a 5/5.
Thunderstar's Echo
This one felt like Moth Flight's Vision to me - a little rushed and just an excuse to go back to the DOTC era. I loved DOTC, but this story was kind of...boring. It is a little sad at times but it is also repetitive. It's a bittersweet story so I recommend it, but nothing really moved me about it. I give it a 3.5/5, or maybe a 4/5. I literally wrote this review right after reading it, so maybe I will think about it more before bed and actually realize I liked it. Who knows.
