Yellowfang's Secret
by Erin Hunter
I may stretch this to a 3.5, but Yellowfang's Secret sort of fell short for me compared to the other Warrior Super Editions. The awesomeness of Bluestar's Prophecy made the bar pretty high. And with Yellowfang being an all-around excellent character, I was disappointed with this back story. She didn't have that spunk until nearly the very end. Actually, the entire story didn't hold a great amount of weight for me until 80% or so 'til the end. We know what happens, and we already knew part of her story because she explains things to Firestar. I'm just sorry to say that I found most of the story a bit flat and boring. I thought her relationship with Raggedstar lacked any true depth. They didn't have a connection, and yet suddenly they're spouting sonnets and having their fling.. where did that come from? It's like it was built into the story simply because we already knew it had happened.. and Hunter didn't fill that missing gap properly.
That out of the way, the conclusion to this story was very good. The last 20% gives it that extra half a star. Again, we already knew Brokenstar was a big douche-bag jerk. But seeing it happen and grow into this horrible mess, that's something else. And it was very well done. Those kits pulled at my heartstrings, and the fact that nobody truly stood up to him made me so mad. No wonder we have such a bad image of ShadowClan when we start Into the Woods.
I'm glad Hunter took the time to expand Yellowfang's past for us, and give us added information that may or may not influence your opinion on her character. If only some parts were better executed.. that's my only complaint.
