novelheartbeat 's review for:
A Dangerous Path
by Erin Hunter
4.5/5
I'M NOT OKAY. *sobs incoherently*
What is this series doing to me?! I went in thinking of it as kind of a joke - a juvenile book for some fluff to pass the time - well, THE JOKE IS ON ME NOW.
This book is soooo not fluff. In a way, it *kind* of is - I mean, it's about warrior cats for crying out loud. But it's much heavier than I expected. There's a lot of death and hardship that totally caught me by surprise. The characters and world have gotten under my skin in a way I never expected them to. I'm so invested in this story, I care about what happens to each and every one of these cats.
Bluestar's decline in mental health was really hard to watch. For such a strong and resilient leader to be reduced to the bitter, paranoid cat she became made me so so sad. And it absolutely broke my heart that she labeled Fireheart as a traitor even though he was doing the right thing and what he felt was best for his Clan. The divide between them sucked so bad!
Also P.S. Fireheart is the "fire" that will save the clans I KNEW IT I KNEW IT I KNEW IT

Every single death killed me a little! Brindleface, Snowkit, Swiftpaw, and even Brightpaw's maiming (which was made more upsetting by the fact that she was renamed Lostface THAT'S SO MEAN OMG). Ughhhh!! But also can I mention that Cloudtail's unwavering love and loyalty to her despite her being horribly scarred was SO FREAKING CUTE. "You’re still beautiful to me. You always will be." BRB THERE'S SOMETHING IN MY EYEEEE.Bluestar's decline in mental health was really hard to watch.

I'm so glad they reconciled at the end. I knew Bluestar was going to die. It was just a matter of when. But fuck me, that hurt SO. BAD. I was legit sobbing for like 20 minutes after I finished the book because I couldn't get over it! And the way it happened KILLED me. The fact that we finally see the old badass Bluestar, that she finally comes to her senses, only to sacrifice herself for Fireheart...I just...I can't. I CAN'T. When she tackled the dog to get it off Fireheart I literally screamed "NOOO!!" out loud because I knew the moment had finally come. *sobs* I'm so glad she had a final moment of clarity, and her encouraging words to not only Fireheart but Stonefur and Mistyfoot (her own kits) made it hurt so much worse! DEAD.Also P.S. Fireheart is the "fire" that will save the clans I KNEW IT I KNEW IT I KNEW IT
