Starlight
by Erin Hunter
I feel like this is maybe the worst written book in the New Prophecy series so far but its also my second favorite? Maybe it's because the clans are settled back into the forest and we are back to border disputes and political intrigue.
I love the stuff about Onewhisker being an illegitimate replacement to Tallstar and this being the cause of conflict in the book. I think this is a good basis for the skirmish that ends the book. The scene where Brambleclaw and Hawkfrost share a dream with Tigerstar is also quite fun.
There is soooooo much soapy drama in this book. Brambleclaw and Squirrelflight are in a couple of fights this whole book and its a lot. I don't mind the drama but it starts for no reason and continues to not be justified. Also, all the heavy-fisted writing around Hawkfrost being a bad dude is oversaturated in this book and it's not a surprise at all when he leads a rebellion against Onewhisker.
I CANNOT believe at the end of this book Firstar and Onewhisker let Hawkfrost off the hook. The dude started a rebellion against a clan that wasn't his and then just JK'ed it and everyone thought it was fine. Unbelievable.
I guess this trashing writing and inconsistent character arcs are why I love this series.
