It was still a good book other than that though!

Thoughts:

-Violetshine and Tree are so cute :)

-The mediator thing for Tree seems kind of strange to me now, but I think the Erins could really do a lot with that. I'll be interested to see where they take it and how it develops his character. (maybe some POV chapter from him in the future?)

-As for the whole Alderheart and Velvet thing, I liked Velvet, but it seemed kind of unnecessary for there to be another medicine cat relationship.

-The idea of a Tigerstar 2 was kind of weird, but Tawnypelt seemed a bit too old to be leader anyway, so I guess he was the only other real option. I do feel like the cats should have felt more over him having the name. I believe it was only mentioned once in passing in one of Alderheart's chapters.

-I liked how throughout Twigpaw's apprenticeship, she and Sparkpelt seemed to grow closer to eachother.

-Is it just me, or does Violetshine seem like a perfectly likable character until you see her from Twigpaw/branch's perspective? She just always seems so cross and disagreeable towards her for no apparent reason. You could say it was because of Twigpaw having moved back to ThunderClan away from Violetshine, but I really just read it as her being skeptical of any idea Twigpaw had.

3 stars
I liked it, but it wasn't amazing.
