  • Does this mean no more BlogClanners being secret!y put into books?

    But quite honestly, that would be rather bad. Bad publishers! Let us have some fun 😛

    Aaand congratulations to Cyp, Wavey, Flo, Whorl and Snakey <3

    (Autocorrect changed Cyp to Check and Snakey to Shakey 😛 )

  • Hey Kate, I was wondering, did Reedwhisker have any kits? There are many she-cats with kits without mates in RiverClan, so I’d expect that maybe he’d be a father. Some she-cats that are possibilities are:

    Duskfur
    Graymist(though they could be related)
    Icewing(Her first litter with Petalfur, Beetlewhisker, Pricklepaw and Grasspelt)

    Kits without parents are
    Havenpelt
    Lizardtail
    Shimmerpelt
    Heronwing
    Perchwing

    So, I was just curious if you have decided if Reedwhisker has become a father.

    • What a useful list! I would love for Reedwhisker to have kits. Duskfur is the mother of Curlfeather and Podlight, but the father is unknown according to my Allegiance list. Do you think I could convincingly slot Reedwhisker in as their father and Duskfur’s mate?

      • I don’t see why not. She was mateless but had two kits. Not to mention I personally think Reedwhisker would be a great dad despite what little we’ve seen of him.

      • Wow that would fit perfectly *-*
        Please make them mates! You could give Podlight the briliant blue eyes of Reedwhisker 😀 Its a evidence of the Bluestar line ;D

            • I’ve just written it into my Allegiance list….but it’s not canon until it makes it through the editorial sieve….

              • YAY!

                I have a suggestion. It’ll be probably be ignored but I speak my mind. 😛

                What if Lizardtail, Perchwing and Havenpelt are Mosspelt’s kits? She was a queen in The Last Hope and the latter became apprentices in Dovewing’s Silence. Plus, Havenpelt has the -pelt like Mosspelt. (I know, it’s pitiful, but eh) it would give Willowshine siblings and continue Mosspelt’s bloodline, considering Lizardtail is Lakeheart’s mate and father of Wavepaw and Cypresspaw. 😀

                • My brain melted after the third name. Could you perform your suggestion in the form of interpretive dance, please?

                • 😛 it’s fine, sorry to bug you, but Havenpelt is the allegiance list for TAS, along with the others. I think that’s what you meant. I’m tired to dance right now. 😜

              • Oh, just written into the allegiances list? You don’t point out who mates with who unless it’s a queen. Kate, perhaps Duskfur is going to have another litter?

  • Oh Kate, quick question:

    Do you prefer BumblexDove or TigerxDove? TigerxDove is one of my favorite ships! 😃

    I finished TaS last night… When Rowanstar dies, Tigerheart will become Tigerstar… That’ll be so odd. 😜

    I love how you mentioned the cats from the prophecy in the story more than TAQ! 🙂

  • Hey, awesome book! I was a bit disappointed at first when I realized we’d get less of Alderpaw because he was sharing the spotlight with Violetkit and Twigkit, (I prefer one or two POV’s rather than three or more). But I actually came to appreciate having the addition of the two sisters.
    It was a wonderful read, and I must say I was very much emotionally involved with everything that was going on. Good job to Ms. Cary, she really is a talented author.
    I was wondering
    Is Mistystar going to die soon? She’s super old, older than any other cat alive in fact, seeing as she was a Warrior before Firestar even entered the forest.
    And will Brackenfur, and his two living littermates, Thornclaw and Brightheart be retiring to the Elder’s den soon? Because they’re 10ish themselves, and Cloudtail is not much younger.

    • I tend to think of the older cats as middle aged. You young ‘uns seem just a little to eager to write us old ‘uns off! 😛

      • Kate you sound like Purdy, and I love it. We all need to channel our inner Purdy sometimes. I think Brackenfur, Brightheart and Thornclaw still have alot of fight within them (and plus Thornclaw still hasn’t been a father!!). I think fans should remember that cats that live in the wild are waaayyyy more stronger than cats who are raised by humans just naturally, but also this is a scientific fact. Any animal who grows up in captivity will never live as long as its wild counterparts because unfortunately all wild animals have a heightened quality of life that human-care can never match. So all research that says cats die at around 10 or whatever cannot be applied to our warrior cats. There’s no knowing how long they can live!!

  • Kate, did Beenose go to StarClan when she died? She did leave ShadowClan for the rogues, but she also didn’t do anything bad enough for the Dark Forest.

    • This is what I told Clearsight: StarClan. She was young and misguided. Misguided isn’t the same as evil. I’m sure a spell with StarClan will set her on a better path. Sending her to the Dark Forest would just have turned her evil for sure.

  • Kate, did Beenose go to StarClan or the Dark Forest when she died?

    And speaking of atheist cats, Mothwing apparantly still doesn’t believe in StarClan, but what about Cloudtail?

    • StarClan. She was young and misguided. Misguided isn’t the same as evil. I’m sure a spell with StarClan will set her on a better path. Sending her to the Dark Forest would just have turned her evil for sure. Cloudtail is keeping his thoughts to himself for the time being.

      • When did Beenose die? Did she die from the sickness? I don’t remember that part very well, but to be fair I wasn’t good at remembering all the ShadowClan apprentices were, since there were so many.

  • AHH! Idk why I came here; I’m only on like, page 50 and as I was scrolling down I saw somethin’ I wasn’t supposed to see. DANG IT! I thought this time I would be able to make it through the book without spoilers! Hmm…well I guess I better get outta here before I see something else…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..DANG IT!

  • Hi Kate! I have two questions:
    1) Will we ever meet Bramblestar and Squirrelflight’s two kits that died? (maybe in StarClan?)
    2) Will there ever be any more interaction between Leafpool and Crowfeather?
    Thanks! Happy writing!

  • Hello Kate! I just wanted to let you know I loved this book so much like all of your books! 😀 I wouldn’t mind if my name (Pup) was ever futured in the books. 😉 Haha speaking of the book, who was your favorite character to write? My favorite was Puddleshine. He’s a cutie. C:

    • I think Puddleshine is my favourite too, although Violetpaw and Twigpaw are just adorable, and Violetpaw’s story seems so heartbreaking that I hate to let her out of my sight. I want to protect her with my words.

      • I agree! Violetpaw’s POV is one of the best I’ve read. It’s heartbreaking yet I want to read more. Keep up the good writing. 😀

  • Well I finished TAS in a day. It was awesome! I loved watching the Shadowclan apprentice’s suprise me each time the backtalked someone of authority, especially after I thought they would shut up. I was jumping when I saw DoveXTiger would be in the same clan. And it was cool to see Ivypool mentoring Twigkit. I was hoping she would say something to Twigkit about her herself being held hostage in Shadowclan. Also good to see Ivypool hasnt lost her personality since maturing like some do. Her little scrap with Needletail was a good reminder lol.
    Now I sit and wait for 2 months for HJ
