I think that this is my favourite arc so far. I loved first three books and I hope that I love the last three this much too. 

I loved all the protagonists, Flametail's death was sad and it actually made me feel sad for a change and I loved the pacing of this book. I loved that there is a lot of talking but a lot of action too - it's not like those later books where there are entire chapters of cats just standing around and talking. 

I also love that we finally get the change of a relationship between Ivypaw and Dovepaw. Dovepaw finally tells her sister about the prophecy and her powers and they are finally friends again and it's really refreshing to see siblings stay friends into the apprenticeship and doing things together for a change. I just wish that they stayed this great of friends when they are adults but oh well. 

Overall a pretty good book, I loved the changes of POV and going between Dark Forest when we are with Ivypaw, ThunderClan when we are with Dovepaw and ShadowClan when we are with Flametail, I just wish that we had Flametail as a pov in the first two books too because it would be interesting to follow him around a little bit longer and his death would have been a little bit sadder that way too. Overall, a pretty decent book and I cannot wait to see where the story goes from here.
