teddington 's review for:
Veil of Shadows
by Erin Hunter
this arc is so FUN i love it SO MUCH and im SO SCARED because im just waiting for it to not stick the landing!!!
shadowsight takes a backseat in this one which, while i grieved because he's the best one here, meant we got much more time with root and bristle who've both grown into really strong characters in their own right. roots ghost vision is super interesting, although it's a bit weird to see shadowsight go into the dark forest when that seemed a lot more fitting for root instead. bristle is the standout of the book imo, not only are the chapters with bramble some of the best, but her towing the line between keeping under the radar while working with the rebels is a super interesting premise to read about.
i think the erins do slip a bit when it comes to writing more abstract chapters. the ones with shadow as a ghost were fine, but once he got into the dark forest it got a little harder to understand, especially in terms of scale. a bit more time spent describing the forest and the parts he sees would've been nice. i feel like this is only going to get worse as the later books spend more time in the dark forest.. ah well..
and that final battle!! i do wish harestar was a bit more impactful than it was, but the appearance of skyclan and the rebels and everyone turning on bramble were all really cool! i will miss him being leader, but i know we couldn't have six whole books of him being in power. i just hope he'll still cause problems even now he's a prisoner.
not too sure if the next book will be as good as these last ones have been but i have high hopes for once
