Squirrelflight’s Hope Spoiler Page

Release Date: September 3rd, 2019

The cover art and blurb will be added to this page once they are released! 🙂

In the meantime … BlogTeam can’t wait to hear your theories on what’ll happen in Squirrelflight’s Hope. Discuss away!!! 🐱❤

Feb 12th, 2019: Page updated with cover! This page is now a spoiler page!

Feb 15th, 2019: Sorry, BlogClan! We’ve received word from the head honchos of the Erins, and we have to take down the cover as they are not yet finished or ready for the public. This will remain a spoiler page, but a placeholder image will be displayed until further notice!

April 2nd, 2019: Seeing that the cover is now on the official Warriors site, and that Lost Stars is just around the corner, the cover for this SE is now back up! Unless someone tells me to take it down again 😛 -Embix

Note: We know you’re excited to continue reading about the lives of these characters, and love the world that the Erins have set up, but Kate is very busy and may not be able to get back to you regarding specific questions you may have – and she certainly can’t answer questions that spoil the next books! If a moderator or Kate tells you that they can’t answer your question, then we ask you to respect that answer. Thank you for your understanding! 🙂

  • I really loved this one, great job Kate!

    I had a few questions though:

    1 – Do you know who Reedclaw’s mate and the father of Kitepaw and Turtlepaw are? MacGyver is mentioned being near the nursery but no confirmation that he was connected to any nursery residents.

    2 – Do you know what Dandelionkit and Juniperkit look like? I’m not sure if I caught them if they’re mentioned in the book.

    3 – Do you think Leafstar was reminded of Sandstorm and Firestar during her time with Squirrelflight?

  • SPOILER

    When the sisters’ cats are introduced/mentioned, there are two orange-white she-cats and one tortoiseshell she-cat. Could the two orange-white cats be Flurry and Sparrow, where the white part has not been considered, and the tortie cat, where the mother is Hawk, of whom we know no appearance? Anyway, it would make sense for her to join her kittens and I never noticed the tortie cat again or anything. So it would also make sense to use Hawk for this. could one of the unidentified queens mentioned at the beginning be Sunrise?

  • SPOILER

    To tell you the Erin’s made starclan to hypocritical. Bluestar. Had kits with oakheart and lied thrushpelt lied to but he didnt get judged by starclan. Crookedstar own daughter. Had kits with Graystripe. Yellowfang lied to squrrielflight saying she could not have kits so jayfeather lionblaze and hollyleaf be raised in thunderclan. So why would the aouther make the cat who basically told her to lie to keep the starclan chosen kits in thunderclan….now if she dies again she prolly won’t get in starclan to many flaws in this story…not the best.

    • The flaws are supposed to be there, I feel. There have been a lot of concerns about Starclan being hypocritical about the Code, and the Broken Code arc plans to address this and redefine it. As such, the cats and rules of Starclan are likely meant to be flawed. ^^

  • I’m just wondering what Stormcloud’s relationship with Sparkpelt is. Are they really good friends? Is Stormcloud mooning over her? Or is Stormcloud just really sweet and wanted to help out even if he wasn’t close to Sparkpelt?

    Also, what happened to Ambermoon and Millie? I imagine they probably died between SH and LS, but still…

    I really wish there was a bit more detail.

    • I think Ambermoon was stated to have been killed by an owl earlier in the book, I think it was revealed when the preview first came out. Maybe Stormcloud and Sparkpelt are just good friends? Idk, if they were to become mates then it would just continuously do the trend where most relationships between characters of opposite gender get together even though a friendship could’ve worked just as well. However, I don’t like Spark x Lark that much (it really just felt like it was thrown into DN and only shown in SqH) and tbh I wouldn’t mind seeing Storm x Spark, though I like Storm x Twig more.

    • I’m no Erin, but I’d say they’re good friends.

      Ambermoon died pre SH in an owl attack. It’s clearly stated in Chapter 1.

      Millie, however, is another story. She is still alive by the end of SH but not by Lost Stars, so we’re led to believe she died of natural causes, since the book mentions how frail she’s gotten.

    • This is big but it makes sense. Stormcloud is probably Sorrelstripe’s mate and the father of her kits, so it makes sense that he would feel the need to help the queens and perhaps be a father figure to Sparkpelt’s kits at the most. At the least, he was mentored by Squirrelflight and so makes him relevant in one way or another.

      I just hope I’m right and Kate confirms Stromcloud as Sorrelstripe’s mate and father of Baykit and Myrtlekit!

      • Stormcloud wasn’t hanging around Sorrelstripe, though; it’s more likely he was just there to comfort Sparkpelt. Just because he hangs around the nursery, it doesn’t mean he has kits/wants them.

        • It can’t be Molewhisker, because he and Sorrelstripe are cousins as their mothers, Poppyfrost and Cinderheart, are littermates (Sorry). I’m sure he will have a family soon enough though. He’s still young (as in, a younger middle-aged warrior).

          I think it’s either Dewnose or Stormcloud. They’re the most likely.

          • …Squirrelflight and Bramblestar are cousins yet they had Alderheart, Sparkpelt, Dandelionkit, and Juniperkit. Dustpelt and Ferncloud are uncle and niece and they had Foxleap, Spiderleg, Birchfall, Icecloud, Hollykit, Larchkit, and Shrewpaw. Hawkwing and Pebbleshine are cousins and had Twigbranch and Violetshine (and depending on what happens in Pebbleshine’s Kits, it could very well be more than just them). Sparkpelt and Larksong are related through Firestar and yet they had kits. It does not matter if Molewhisker and Sorrelstripe are related, it can still be canon.

            And besides, at this point almost everyone in the Clan is related anyways…

  • Kate Cary, people are saying it never said Millie’s death! Will we ever know? Sorry if I sound rude. I’m not trying to.

  • Squirrelflight’s Hope: The Midlife Crisis.

    Though I have to disagree with Squirrelflight when it comes to her wanting another litter so badly. She’s like, 8 years old, which is in cat years is like, 48 years. She already lost two kits with her first litter. Probably not a good idea to have another one, but I have to say… OMG SPARKPELT AND LARKSONG! KITS! AHHHH! *fangirl squeal*

    • Fun Fact Even though Squirrelflight is middle aged she can she is still fertiles b/c unlike humans female cats don’t go into menopause the same way human females do. However I do think Squirreflight’s difficulty in becoming pregnant has to do with her age. The only difference is that she’s still fertile since she’s a cat not a twoleg.

  • Hi, Kate o-/

    What sickness do you think killed Larksong and Flickerkit? Was it just a simple prey sickness? (And if it was, what type of poisoning was it?) Or was it something else?

    Does it even have a name like for example, Greencough?

  • Okay, so I skimmed through the last part of the book (not that far and I often do that.) And I saw Hawkwing say that Skyclan was moving into the new territory and should be moved before Moonlights kits got to leave Skyclan. I’m wondering now, why didn’t they move after Squirrelflight’s Hope as in Lost Stars they’re still in their territory by the lake? Did Leafbare delay it, or did Leafstar decide to stay in their territory, it even looks like they were being settled in at the end of the book.

    • They do move but they still have a narrow strip of land that leads down to the lakeshore (so they still have access to the lake).
      If you look between the maps in Raging Storm and Lost Stars then you should notice that the location of SkyClan camp moved between those two books.

  • So Kate, what was the main reason to “punish” Sparkpelt by completely destroying Spark x Lark and taking one of their kits? It seemed a bit sad and unexpected for me, although I knew that Larksong was dead by reading Lost Stars. (Felt pretty sad after reading the book.)

    • There’s a lot of loss in the series in general, and especially around the latest arc. I don’t think Cakestar’s trying to “punish” anyone in particular; warriors endure casualties and mourn their friends and families often, and Sparkpelt is no exception. On a more meta note, I could speculate that it might be a subversion of the Firestar-kin-plot-armor thing. Firestar’s kits and nephew and all their descendants are typically seen as invincible; by showing that his granddaughter experiences tragedy, it raises the stakes for the main characters of the new arc and makes it unclear whether or not they’ll be untouched by grief at the end of the arc.

  • Hi! I just have a few questions. I have just ordered SH and I have read the sample! I can’t wait for it!

    But I have read Lost Stars and I’m just wondering. Is Squirrelflight gonna see Sandstorm and Firestar? She’s probably there with Leafpool, but I’d love to see them again!
    And is it known why she and Bramblestar don’t have a new litter yet? I’d like that so much!

    And does anyone have the link to TST sample? I heard it’s out, but couldn’t find it.

  • I haven’t read the book, so I hope this isn’t really true, but from some of the spoilers I read, it kinda seems like Tigerheartstar is just a lot worse in this book, even more than he was in The Raging Storm, and it just really bothers me, because he’s my favorite character (and he’s been for SO long, I don’t want to just give up on him!), and, by this point I’m mostly okay with how he was in TRS, aside from a few little things, and there definitely were also some good parts with him in TRS as well toward the end of the book, but now this happens.
    I read that he was okay with attacking a pregnant queen and her family? And even caused her death? Really? I’m just really upset about this right now because this just isn’t the same Tigerheart…

    I still love the series and want to keep reading it, so I’m not hating on the series or this book. This is just really bothering me and making me worried.

    • I know, right? I didn’t like him to begin with, but I respected that he was an okay mate and a really good father to Shadowpaw, always encouraging him and all. But then my friends are spoiling SH and telling me he murdered a queen after she gave birth to her kits? Really???

      • But then, after I posted this comment, I saw on the wiki that it said that when he realized there were kits involved, he tried to call off the attack, but something happened and it didn’t work, so maybe that isn’t really what happened? Idk. 😛

  • Poor strikestone he’s been through so much already and then now he’s deaf I just hope he gets a mate and become the next deputy

    • He’s definitely been through a lot. His father died, then his mother was killed by Darktail, then his sister defected to become evil, then his brother poisoned prey and ended up drowning. I really don’t like Tigerheartstar so…Strikestar? From what I’ve seen of his personality, he’s really nice. :3
