my opinions on random “a starless clan” cats as i just finished river
thunderclan
-Nightheart: the angry mommy issues man himself. love him. this is probably the closest we’ll get to a trans character in warriors. also surprised no one mentioned Bristlefrost when he failed his assessments as i remember Bristlefrost failing at least once. they could’ve made a good connection there.
-Honeyfur: pretty design i think, got salty at twigbranch once and haven’t heard from her before or since.
-Bayshine: a sweetie, good brother-ish figure for Nightheart in my opinion.
-Shellfur: never knew much of anything about him but yay he’s got a gf now. happy for him.
-Bramblestar: just step down already man. (i know he does, i can’t wait till i get to it).
-Squirrelflight: can’t wait till i get to Squirrelstar!!
-Bumblestripe: a jerk as always.
-Finchlight: a lil too over enthusiastic about the “greatness” of thunderclan. really shows how arrogant they can be tbh.
-Ivypool: wish i heard more from her.
-Fernsong: i wish we saw more of Fernsong with Ivypool. or any Fernsong at all tbh.
-Sparkpelt: i’m not really sure how to feel about her and her relationship with Nightheart. it’s definitely interesting though and something new.
-Cloudtail: him as an elder is amazing.
shadowclan
-Berryheart: Spireclaw’s relationship with her hits too close to home. all i gotta say. also (proceeds to say more anyway) totally Mother Gothel-coded, there’s a pmv of her with “Mother Knows Best” that fits so well. “i’m your mother, and i know you better than you know yourself” (226).
-Sparrowtail: i kinda like how he sorta initially was on Berryheart’s side but now he’s really uncertain about her beliefs. interesting in seeing more about this relationship.
-Spireclaw: love him!! a sweetie! wanna see more of him and Fringewhisker. also interested in the tension with him and Berryheart over this. lowkey kin him.
-Dovewing: she’s not deputy, but i see her as sort of like a clan “princess”, y’know?
-Sunbeam: relate to her a lil, also i think she has the cutest name ever. at first i thought her unrequited crush on Blazefire felt like a repeat of Bristlefrost and Stemleaf but at least Stemleaf was nice. Blazefire was straight up gaslighting her about being concerning about Lightleap “pffft she’s fine bro you’re not the clan leader” aughhh
-Blazefire: this is why you don’t do friends with benefits guys.
-Lightleap: augh she’s so terrible but i love her at the same time. i love how a protagonist’s sibling can finally be explored upon with how the previous events from the broken code affect her psychologically. doing a psychoanalysis on her hehe.
-Gullswoop: haha just a gal who loves gossip. glad a she-cat background character can actually have a personality now.
-Pouncestep: wish we heard more from her tbh. there’s shadowsight obviously and now the whole lightleap thing but we don’t know much about Pouncestep or how things have affected her. she’s just kinda.. there.
skyclan
-Leafstar: please just let her rest. i’m begging.
-Hawkwing: i want him to be leader already, i feel like he would be a good leader with all the character development he’s had in his super edition.
-Fidgetflake: his name is so cute i love him. don’t hear from him at all though really, i just like his name.
-Uhhhh that’s about all the skyclan cats we hear from.
windclan
-Hootwhisker: bro really just yeeted himself over a stream into thunderclan territory for a vole.
-Whistlepaw: she’s so sweet i love her. please Erins let Whistlepaw and Frostpaw be together. please. please. i’ll give you all my warriors plushies.
-Crouchfoot: i know absolutely nothing about him but i just thought that’s a kinda funny name.
-Songleap: what.. is a.. song ..leap..?? how do songs…. you know what, nevermind.
-Fernstripe: with her and Fringewhisker, and also Dovewing from before, i’m really noticing a trend with typically she-cats leaving their clans for toms. not sure how i feel about that.
riverclan
-Splashtail: a nefarious lil guy from what i’ve heard? very interested to see more of him, he reminds me a lot of Hawkfrost. i also have a suspicion that he faked the curled feather sign on page 215. i mean, Frostpaw went with just Splashtail and she heard someone walking around above the moonpool then finds the feather on the path. is it a fake sign did bro just pull a Hawkfrost. —or what if the sign was real but meant for Icewing, as it was a white feather, and that night Frostpaw dreamed about the feathers turning into “birds, whirling around her head like a blizzard” (219).
-Owlnose: just a silly lil guy.
-Mistystar: was arguing and literally fell and died. best death ever. rip the queen.
-Duskfur: still mad at her over Mistystar’s death tbh.
-Reedwhisker: poor man. all i gotta say.
-Havenpelt: i just like her name.
-Mothwing: if anything happens to her, Blixemi is gonna lose it.
-Icewing: haha Wings of Fire name.
-Curlfeather: such a pretty name tbh. she seemed so sweet but i heard she’s actually evil? interested to learn more in the next books. it may make sense, she seemed a little overbearing at times, maybe a cover? also Curlfeather suggesting Frostpaw goes to her den and Frostpaw immediately finding the 5-pointed dock leaf sign there (124-125) is kinda suspicious, i feel like she might’ve faked a sign.
-Jayclaw: died of “unknown causes” is a lil suspicious. right after Curlfeather mentions his death, the book says “a heartbeat later Curlfeather went on more briskly-” (18) and she changes the topic. i’m wondering if Curlfeather killed him after maybe he disagreed with her evil plans? could’ve pulled a Hollyleaf and killed him to keep him mute.
-Frostpaw: poor lil fluffy kid is traumatized, i just wanna give her a big hug.
-overall, this book was amazing and so far i might like this arc even better than the broken code, we’ll have to see
