![]() But if just one claw releases its grip, all will be swept away by the coming storm." If each claw is strong, the paw will hold fast. Together, the Clans are like a paw with five claws reaching deep into the earth. The others glanced nervously at one another, as though sharing knowledge too dreadful to speak. If the Clans can’t learn to live peacefully together, how will they face what is to come? His eyes darkened. "A young leader, Firestar cautioned, who wants above all to prove his strength and the strength of his Clan. A strong leader, who will guide his warriors well. At a time when they needed to work together, they drew apart.īut RiverClan has rejoined the Clans now, Crookedstar pointed out.Īnd ShadowClan has a new leader, Rowanclaw argued. Do you think the Clans learned nothing from Darktail? The stars in Firestar’s pelt shimmered as his fur prickled anxiously.īlackstar snorted. They’ve fought invaders, they’ve survived hardship, but they don’t yet realize how fear can weave its way like a shadow between the Clans and how greed can drive them apart. These young cats don’t understand the danger. We’ve survived darkness before, Crookedstar argued. If the five Clans cannot live as one, the coming darkness will destroy them all." ![]() Every Clan must grow strong, but not by stealing another’s territory. "Rowanclaw is right about one thing: ShadowClan must grow strong. Tigerstar must do whatever it takes to make ShadowClan strong, Rowanclaw shot back.įirestar flicked his tail. Of course they belong beside the lake, Tallstar grunted.īluestar eyed Rowanclaw. His gaze seemed to see beyond the starry pelts of the other cats, and drifted toward the distant trees that marked Sk圜lan’s territory. Firestar’s emerald eyes reflected starlight. It needs its territory back.īut Sk圜lan cannot lose its land. ShadowClan must never face extinction again. If there’s one thing I know about ShadowClan cats, it’s that they always have their eyes on another Clan’s land. Tigerstar will lead them to greatness."Īt what cost? Bluestar shifted her paws. " I died! But my Clan is a Clan once more. "You gave up your Clan so that you could survive," Blackstar hissed. I gave up my nine lives so that my Clan could survive. If you came here to discuss the future of the Clans, I have a right to be part of it. The ShadowClan cat’s eyes flashed in the darkness as he padded toward the others. As he spoke, a shadow moved among the pines near the shoreline. But I don’t think we’ve understood how ill-prepared the Clans are to face it. We don’t need to stand here in the dark to know what’s waiting for the Clans.įirestar turned on him. ![]() He should have done his thinking before he brought us here, Tallstar grumbled.īlackstar flicked his tail impatiently. Firestar likes to think before he speaks. Crookedstar sat at the water’s edge and tucked his paws beneath his tail. Tell us why we’re here, she meowed gently. Longing pulled at his belly as he saw the oak forest, covering the shore like a pelt.īluestar touched her tail-tip to his flank. What needs to be said here that couldn’t be said in StarClan? It’s warm there.įirestar didn’t answer. ![]() ![]() Tallstar fluffed out his thick black-and-white fur. He could smell newleaf on the wind and, with it, the promise of seasons the Clans might never see.īlackstar shivered a few tail-lengths away as the ghostly leaders of other Clans stood around him, stars shimmering in their pelts. Firestar paced the island, watching from the shore. But at least Bluestar regains some rationality before she dies at the end.Īs darkness shrouded the valley, the lake glittered with broken moonlight. I hated her renaming the cat (can’t remember original name now) Lostface, I found that particularly cruel. The only thing that bothered me about this book was how crazy Bluestar was becoming. I am so glad Fireheart has his best friend back. Greystripe FINALLY returns to Thunderclan after Riverclan kicks him out for not attacking Fireheart. I’m so sick of Tigerstar, I wish Fireheart would defeat him already, but I suspect that will take place in book 6. I keep wanting Fireheart and Sandstorm to get together and have kittens but in this book, after several falling outs, they at least declare that they love each other.īluestar continues to decline, almost going completely mental but comes back at the end only to die and obviously Fireheart is about to become clan leader in book 6. Fireheart has to speak at a clan meeting for the first time. Things are heating up as Tigerstar becomes leader of Shadowclan. LOVE these books, but not much to review except commentary on things going on: I keep thinking these books are going to get predictable and boring but they do not. ![]()
