![]() Violetkit already possessed a delicate emotional balance her mother was gone, her sister was in another clan, Shadowclan hadn't accepted her, and Needlepaw/tail was her only friend. While in the rogue camp, it's demonstrated that Needlepaw had a crush on the rogue Rain, and she was kind of a jerk about it, ignoring Violetkit in favor of Rain. I think it's more that the apprentices are just going through that rebellious teenage phase. That might be the reason for my slight bias,) (I personally love Rowanstar and Crowfrost, in fact I love almost every Shadowclan cat, except for Sleekpaw and Scorchfur. While valid points are brought up, such as why do the clans discriminate over something no one has control over, the reason they leave in the end is because of some bizarre dislike of the current Shadowclan leadership. In this book.eh? She, Sleekpaw, (shudders because I hate Sleekpaw,) and a couple other cats of Shadowclan leave to join the rogues, which have settled near the clan territory. Needlepaw in the first book was a rebellious but still well-meaning apprentice. Good Thing: We got non-Thunderclan perspective, yeah for all my Shadowclan clanmates out there!īad thing: Needlepaw infuriated me this book. If you've read my review for 'The Apprentice's Quest,' you'll know two things: I liked Needlepaw a ton, and that I wanted non-Thunderclan perspective. Thunderclan is usually that clan where everyone takes care of each other, ya know? I mean, isn't the blood of the clan thicker than the water of the womb? (I totally butchered the original saying, but it's true.) I understand the not-fitting-in thing from Violetkit's perspective, as Shadowclan can be a bit underwhelming with their affection, but Twigkit didn't really experience that. I personally liked the in-world choice, but it felt more like a choice to create drama between the two clans than a sensical conclusion that the cats made. Okay, first off, those two kits, Twigkit and Violetkit, are in separate clans. ![]() I've reached that age where I'm really just reading them for nostalgia and not necessarily because I'm into the world as much anymore. When I first started this book, I was less than impressed. It's far from my favorite Warriors book, but I am interested to see where the next book will go. Overall, this is an improvement from the last one. So I guess that kind of makes this a filler book. No headway is made in the slightest, it's barely even brought up. However, I didn't like how the main plot of this arc, saving Skyclan, was completely dropped. At least things are happening during the entire book. Along with that, Shadowclan is dealing with a mysterious illness, and Twigpaw and Violetpaw are trying to find out where they belong. ![]() I found the idea of the apprentices rioting to be quite an interesting one, but it was sadly dropped quite quickly. They are having issues with rogues, but they also have the apprentices deciding to rebel, as they are set on trying to "make Shadowclan great again" (their words, not mine). I actually quite liked Twigpaw and Violetpaw, who actually had rather interesting plot lines.Ī large part of this book takes place in Shadowclan, which was really refreshing. I still struggle to care about Alderpaw, who doesn't really have any personality traits. ![]() It has flaws but it's readable and the new characters are semi-interesting. The Warriors series has gone on long past it's prime, and this arc is dreadfully average compared to the others.īut that being said, Thunder and Shadow wasn't that bad. There really isn't a solid plot and the main characters are lacking compared to the ones in any of the other series. It's no secret that I'm disappointed by this arc. Not by a whole lot, but where The Apprentice's Quest was insufferably dull and boring, Thunder and Shadow was at least entertaining enough to be readable. ![]() Field guides are not included in either list.I am very relieved to say this one was much better than the previous book. I will continue to edit this as more books come out. Here is a list of all the books in chronological order, then a list of all the books in publishing order. I don't know if there's a thread like this one already, but I couldn't find one, so I decided to make one. I also decided that some people might like to read the books in publishing order, so that they can see how the writing has developed over time. I recently decided I wanted to read the books in chronological order, so that I can get the full story. ![]()
