  • Hi, Kate First of I love Warriors! I have three questions for you What’s your favorite warrior name? Mine is Echosong and which book is your favorite in the series Mine is The last Hope and what is your favorite clan?

      • Uhhh
        Two out of the three were the same answers as mine 😛
        Except my favorite name is Rowanberry 🙂

      • We really do need more books on RiverClan. It’s a shame they get so little attention, it’s my favorite Clan too.

        • I like SkyClan the most but yeah, RiverClan is cool and I’d love to see more RiverClan books

        • Agreed! RiverClan is the best, and does not get enough attention.

          SPOILER WARNING

          Here is a list of Super Editions revolving around each Clan
          ThunderClan: 3 (Firestar’s Quest, Bluestar’s Prophecy, Bramblestar’s Storm)
          SkyClan: 3 (Firestar’s Quest, SkyClan’s Destiny, Hawkwing’s Journey)
          WindClan: 3 (Tallstar’s Revenge, Moth Flight’s Vision, Crowfeather’s Trial)
          ShadowClan: 2 (Yellowfang’s Secret, Tigerheart’s Shadow)
          RiverClan: Only 1 (Crookedstar’s Promise)
          (I will add that RiverClan is pretty important in Bluestar’s Prophecy too, though)

          None of the main series books have RiverClan as their main Clan (even in DotC, RiverClan is barely seen).

          Novellas
          ThunderClan: 6 (Dovewing’s Silence, Goosefeather’s Curse, Leafpool’s Wish, Mapleshade’s Vengeance, Pinestar’s Choice, Spottedleaf’s Heart, Thunderstar’s Echo, 7 if you count Hollyleaf’s Story)
          ShadowClan: 1 (Tigerclaw’s Fury)
          WindClan: 0 (They have so many super editions it’s fine)
          SkyClan: 2 (Cloudstar’s Journey and Ravenpaw’s Farewell)
          RiverClan: Only 1 (Mistystar’s Omen, 2 if you count Mapleshade’s Vengeance)

          This is proof that the twelfth super edition should be about RiverClan.

          END OF SPOILER WARNING

          Sorry if this sounded aggressive haha 😛 I just really like RiverClan xD

  • hello Kate! sorry for another question 😛 but, how long do you think this takes after Moth Flight’s Vision?

  • I finally read this! It was really good, better than I expected actually. My favorite was probably Spottedleaf’s Heart (I still hate her, but I liked seeing this side of her.) I wonder if maybe Spottedleaf fell for Firestar so quickly because he was her Thistleclaw substitute. He was strong and kind, and he was also good. He could’ve been like Thistleclaw if he hadn’t turned evil. Spottedleaf definitely has a type, haha. I hate Thistleclaw so much now. Child abuse is horrible. He’s horrible. I hate to think that Spottedleaf being a medicine cat, which was a hueg part of her character and a passion of hers, would have never have happened had she never gone to the Dark Forest. Horrifying. I liked seeing Firestar’s grandmother. She’s one of my favorite minor characters already, I need more of her! I can see where Firestar gets his fighting spirit from. I think she would’ve liked him, and she would’ve been a great mentor for Squirrelflight, as two fighter queens. I love her name too. I adore the name Crystal. I really liked Pinestar’s Choice as well, it was interesting to see his thought process. I identify a lot with him because I can be paranoid with things I have no control over as well, but I don’t think I would’ve done what he did. Thunderstar’s Echo was good, but I didn’t like it as much. It felt like an epilogue. Lightning Tail’s death was really sad, though. I really liked Shivering Rose (I’m biased, though 😛 ). I thought they could’ve focused a bit more on Owl Eyes’ maturity, but when it was shown it was well written. It was rushed, but then again it is a novella. I liked Dew Petal a lot. She was a kit in Moth Flight’s Vision, so we didn’t get to see a lot of her personality. I hope we see more of her in the future. I want more on the early Clans. It was nice to see how the rest of the Clans had deputies. I think Sparrow Fur and Sun Shadow are great choices. I’m not so sure about Night, though, but she does balance out River Ripple’s peaceful and passive nature. When Thunderstar was going over the deputies, he said Gorse Fur and Wind Runner were mates, but not Riverstar and Night. It could be a mistake, but I thought they were mates, so did something happen between them? I thought they were going to name Lightning Stripe Lightning Fire, and I got excited because it’s a cool name, and then disappointed. But Imma go make an OC out of it 😛

  • Kate what new Super Editions are you thinking about, other than Crowfeathers trial?
    and who is your fav leader?

  • The moment that was most cutest to me was the same time that i was 100% horrified!
    in Pinestars choice, little Tigerkit asks Pinestar ‘will you play with me?’ (SUPER CUTE) and Pinestar just pretty much ignores him (SUPER HORRIFYING)!

  • I loved Pinestar’s Choice! I was coping with the death of my cat when I first read it, and a stray showed up and befriended us not long afterwards, so it’s very close and personal for me. :3

  • Is it just me or do you think that Spottedleaf’s Heart should have been called Make Thistleclaw Look The Worst As We Possibly Can.
    😀

      • yes OMG. So Thistleclaw is the traitor huh? More like Spottedleaf killed his dreams of being her mate; it was his idea first right? What a barnacle-head.
        incidentally. why is it called SpottedLEAF’s heart when she was an apprentice for the whole book??!!

  • Jeez…
    Spottedleaf’s Heart is very dark, even more so than the other books.
    Think about how old Thistleclaw is. Snowfur died when Spottedleaf was Spottedkit, and then it’s okay for a six moon old apprentice to get in a relationship with a cat 6 or 7 times her age?!?! Even then, he uses her. Shouldn’t Spottedpaw’s parents know about this? I mean, she JUST became a apprentice. I think I would be fine with this if she was at least a young warrior but….
    THISLECLAW’S SON IS OLDER THAN HER!!!
    SHOULDN’T MORE CATS, cough *Her littermates* cough TELL HER THIS IS SUPPPPEERRR WRONG?

      • That is very true. And have you thought about Thornclaw and Blossomfall (SPOILERS!!!). Thornclaw was born in the first series and Blossomfall was born in the third series.

          • oof I’m late replying to this post

            Well, Both Leopardfoot and Pinestar, as well as Blossomfall and Thornclaw, were warriors, functioning cat adults, when they decided to be each others mates. Though there is a large age gap, they are still adults, and adults can legally make that decision. On the other hand, Spottedleaf is a child when Thistleclaw takes an interest in her, in fact, she’s a kit. Thistleclaw keeps being very suggestively pushy with Spottedpaw, which is the thing that bothered me the most about this novella. Spottedleaf is still ACTUALLY a child/young teen in the context of cat years, and Thistleclaw around this time frame would be in his mid thirties-forties in cat years. Spottedpaw unlike the others is still a child, Thistleclaw is a adult. That is a VERY bad thing. They may be cats, but they are humanized cats with a medical plan, you can’t ignore the uncomfortable themes in that novella.
            The other Novella’s were okay, but Spottedleaf’s Heart was deeply weird.

    • exactly, even though yeah i do ship SpotXThistle….do you think she only rejected him so that the eventds in the story lead to how it was in TOS? She wouldn’t have loved Firepaw/heart/star if she was thistleclaws mate

      • Thistleclaw is a gr**ming ped*phile. Why on earth do you ship him with spottedpaw? (in the book she hasn’t been made a full med cat yet.)

  • Hey Kate, I had a question about some character from the DotC era if you don’t mind. Do you know of what Clan/affiliation Owl Song is?

  • I want to ask that will spottedleaf get reincarnated or just disappear? Or there is another place that Spottedleaf living at? thx a lot
