Night Whispers by Erin Hunter
3.0
3.5
Spoilery spoilers.
All of them.
Here.
This book was so weird for me, because I'm SO invested with the whole dark forest rising thing, and starclan being super shady. But then we cut to ivypaw who annoys the hell out of me, and dovepaw who was just dumb in this book. And I am so so SO tired of the whole I love a cat in another clan, we can't be together but then we're together, and ugh angst! I'm sick of it. At least dovepaw actually had time on their journey up the river to get to know tigerheart (was he still tigerpaw when they traveled? I forget). But yeah, just a storyline I'm tired of coming up over and over. Same with medicine cats having secret kits, like enough.
But it was awesome to see inside shadowclan!! I loved seeing how eager they all are to improve and be the best and work to not repeat past mistakes. I really hope there's eventually a graphic novel with a shadowclan cat. It's so easy to dismiss them as the "bad guys" but they really interest me.
A huge reason I love this world (aside from a lifelong love of cats, obviously) is because of the role prophecy and visions and omens (ha) play in the series. I love how things can be interpreted in so many ways, and it's so easy to misunderstand signs. But wording like "kin of your kin" is just so delightfully vague! The dynamic of starclan as its own entity as well as being part of their religion is so interesting - especially when cats start to question it all.
And whoa whoa with that ending?!?! My boy jayfeather is going to have some serious grumbling guilt in the next book haha I just love how things are building and gathering and waiting to attack. I've really been missing leafpool and squirrelflight since the last arc, but ugh not enough brambleclaw either! (Yes, I know. I KNOW okay lol but still)
I am not ready for book 6. I've been preparing myself lol but I love the feeling in this arc of like, how are they going to fix this?!?!
