  • Kate is Stormheart Mistfeather’s mate? He said his mate died in battle with rouges and she’s the only dead she-cat that wasn’t a medicine cat or elder at that time.

    • I hope so too! Stormheart was the only one that fits and it would be cool if at least ONE of Leafstar’s kits had a mate T-T

      • Yeah, before you know, they died. I think Harrybrook might get a mate, but in all honesty, she-cats would probably turn him down because of his name.

        • I doubt that would happen. Most SkyClan cats are used to that kind of thing – it would only be lake Clan cats who would do that, and most of them would turn him down due to him being SkyClan anyway. If they can see past that, they can probably see past his odd name too, plus most she-cats aren’t that rude.

        • Cats probably don’t care about names when picking a mate to be honest. Besides seeing as how Skyclan is so small I bet you all the cats will have kits to repopulate the clan. I’m hoping for HarrybrookXBellaleaf. Both share a human name, have had interaction, and traveled with Echosong.

  • Kate, who is Mistfeather’s mate? He stated in TAQ that his mate died in the battle when SkyClan was driven out, but it was never confirmed. The only she-cat who we know died in that battle was Stormheart. So was Stormheart Mistfeather’s mate?

    • More then likely, it never showed the two being a couple, but then again he was hardly ever there! ‘~’

  • This is my little “review” of the book.

    First of all, I would like to say that this book is my official favourite SE! I loved well the storyline intertwined into the main series.

    My main questions are…

    Where did Darktail get the ambition to destroy SkyC?

    When will SkyC go and look for the clans? Will another cat, SPOILR ALERT (**COUGH COUGH** Violetpaw **COUGH COUGH) (sorry, major spoiler) find them. If it is that cat, then what does their future hold? Do they receive a vision from StarC?

    So here is what I’ve speculated: MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD. (These are just guesses so don’t read until you have finished the book)

    Because Violetpaw is with Darktail, at any time she could leave. She is supposedly, according Hawkwing’s Journey, the one that will link all five clans together.

    I can do more speculation, but I might leave it in an article……

  • I feel so sad. 🙁 SkyClan had such terrible misfortune. It really does seem unfair. But now i feel 100% sure that Twigpaw and Violetpaw will leave their clans and go to to be with their father. And I’ll miss Twigpaw in ThunderClan. 🙁 But I still feel dissatisfied with not knowing what happened to pebbleshine.

  • Whoa whoa wait

    Everyone’s saying it’s confirmed that Violetpaw and Twigpaw are the kits of Hawkwing and Pebbleshine. I agree with you in that it’s my current speculation, but where was it confirmed?

    Reply

    • It hasn’t been confirmed, but it has been insinuated that there is a possibility that Twigpaw & Violetpaw are the surviving kits of Hawkwing and Pebbleshine. I’m sure we won’t know for sure until Shattered Sky comes out next Spring. And for speculation purposes, it would totally make sense if they were.

    • Echosong had a vision of a kit that looked like Hawkwing and Twigpaw has the same description so we know that they are kin.

  • Honestly I didn’t really like that book…
    We don’t learn anything about why Darktail hates so much the Clans.
    I think there’s a few gaps sometimes, because some cats disappear after Darktail’s group’s attack, and they’re barely mentionned at all, and the plot is all around SkyClan being scattered again and again, but we already knew that before, so I wanna know WHY.. anyway I personnally believe that we don’t learn so much in that book, except that *MAJOR SPOILER ALERT* Hawkwing is Violetpaw and Twigpaw’s father
    And some favorite cats of mine died in this book *MAJOR SPOILER ALERT* like Sharpclaw, Cherrytail (yeah yeah we’re not sure of that but anyway), Shrewtooth (WHERE THE HECK HAS HE GONE TO?) , Echosong and others
    But it was good anyway because it’s a Warriors book (or a LGDC book like we say in French)

    I’m buying a copy tomorrow at Barnes and Nobles, though I’ve already read the Wiki summary.

    I must say, I am disappointed in Leafstar’s choice of warrior names. I’m sorry, but it just doesn’t work. To me, names MUST make sense, and flow smoothly. Harrybrook? Really?

    Ebonyclaw- stayed with her Twolegs
    Cherrytail- stayed at Barley’s barn

    Allegiance at the end of the book

    Leader: Leafstar
    Deputy: Hawkwing
    Med. Cat: Nobody
    Warriors:
    Sparrowpelt
    Macgyver Dewpaw
    Tinycloud
    Sagenose
    Rabbitleap
    Plumwillow
    Sandynose
    Harrybrook
    Birdwing
    Blossomheart Finpaw
    Bellaleaf Reedpaw
    Elders: Fallowfern

    I loved the book!!! It was so wonderfully writen and there is so much emotion and heartbreak going through Hawkwing life right know and Pebbleshine, oh Pebbleshine, but at least we know who Twigpaw and Violetpaw’s parents are!
    This book will make you feel so bad for everybody!!! Everyone of their friends and family die, leave, or get captured just because Darktail has a grudge about something against the clans. If I had to guess he is a kit from BloodClan or even Scourge’s kit and he hates the Clans for destroying his father’s life and legacy! Or a different exiled cat from the Clans was a parent.
    This is my bit of spoiling on this book. I’m so happy that I’m a spoiler and not the spoily!!!
    I hope this helps out with some understanding of the book for those looking for spoilers. 🙂

    • O.o Pebbleshine is a BlogClanner 😛

      I ought not be here, i haven’t even read the book. 😛

    • Amazing list! 😀 Raccoons? I always though Warriors was based in England 😀 Wow so many deaths / disappearances.

      Reply

    • I don’t think Scourge ever had a mate and if he did I would want it to be Mapleshade XD (Even though she’s too old 😛) And I would hope any kit of Scourge’s would be good because Scourge is my favorite cat and I would hope that if he had kits befor he died they would be good so that at least Scourge’s kits could be good and live a happy life even if he didn’t.

      And isn’t Frecklewish (Wow that’s a weird name when you think about it XD) also a medicine cat? What happened to her?

      • Disappeared after stupid Darktail took the gorge… Like omg Darktail! Why you gotta be so flipping cruel?

    • I have a love/hate relationship with this book! I loved Skyclan and they(Erin Hunters) took away like literally all of my favorite cats! But, the writing is really good and emotion is pretty powerful! But AGH! So many deaths and MIA’s, I am aggravated!!!! Does anybody know if there is chance of any of the MIA’s coming back??

      btw, thx for the list, I kinda lost track of what happened and who it happened to.

    • Lol Every couple chapters I would just go through the allegiances and be like “dead, gone, gone, dead, dead, still here”

    • I’m disappointed Ebonyclaw stayed with her twolegs. You’d think she’d stay with SkyClan. As for the death of Honeytail, well, there are no raccoons in England so I’m not sure how that’s supposed to work. Maybe it was meant to be a beaver or something like it? A weasel, they’re ferocious. Though this does make me wonder, what were Twigpaw’s and Violetpaw’s original names assuming that Pebbleshine is undoubtedly their mother?

      • The explaining is that Twolegs kept them as pets and some got loose and this is how the coons got there.

      • She was the med cat apprentice. She was a kitty pet, but we don’t know where she is know. After the battle some cats got lost and we don’t know what happened to them.

    • What the heck?!?! Did like everyone die?!?!? 🙁 That’s insane!!! It like . . . doesn’t even . . . make sense??? My brain is in shock it’s not computing . . .

        • That is a great simile!!! 🙂

          (I still don’t understand why they would kill, like, literally all the SkyClan cats you know and love. 🙁 Whoever decides the plot for this series has gone cuckoo!)

  • This might be a half-baked theory, but is it possible that Darktail could be from the remaining cats of BloodClan, and a descendant of Scourge?

    Reply

    • I suppose they are both black and white 🙂 I always thought he was a descendant of Darkstripe, and Darkstripe – being so vain – named Darktail after him, even though they don’t have any genetic links 😀

      Reply

      • Hmmmm…and Darkstripe is one of the only cats of the Dark Forest still around.

        Reply

        • Plus, he left the clans when Scourge attacked, making it possible for him to have traveled to SkyClan’s (new) former camp 😀

          Reply

                • …what?

                  Oh, okay, I went back and read the previous comments in this conversation and realized I responded to the wrong thing. 😛 I thought you were talking about someone else’s idea of Darktail being from BloodClan, and you were saying he could have left BloodClan after that battle with the urge to destroy the Clans, to which I commented that that would make Darktail pretty old if he had been alive for that battle.

                • Oh ok 😛 Well now you say that, I mean, it couldn’t be impossible for him to have been a BloodClan warrior. Now I was typing that I just had a new theory – Darkstripe hides Darktail (kit) by the battle in a safe place, but where he can watch. Darkstripe, brings up his (possible, but improbable) son to hate the clans and become EVIL. Yeah, worst theory ever. 😛

                • I think Sky means that Bramblestar was also in the BloodClan battle with the senior warriors like Brightheart, Cloudtail, Brackenfur, Thornclaw, etc.

                • Spell check is very annoying, but anyways I mean I agree with you. Nearly everong who remembers the forest should be an elder by now and Darktail being part of the battle is unlikely, but if he was a kit or born after the fact then maybe he could be a good chance of that being a real possibility.
                  It would make sense that he would try to go after the clans; they destroyed his family’s protection and what he knew, or would have grown up with and plotted revenge. He gathered up all the cats again, but by they time he got it all planned out, the Thunderpath was being built and the clans had left. They didn’t know which way they went so they go back to the Twolegplace and bumps into Dodge. With Dodge telling Darktail about a Clan at the gorge, Darktail thought it was one of the four, but settled for what he got until Alderpaw came and told them about the clans at the lake and Darktail got a second chance to get revenge. Following Alderpaw back home they start attacking the clans, gaining revenge and for him righting a wrong.
