Status Updates From A Dangerous Path

My only issue with this book: at first I thought the dogs in the prologue were really different and cool (and I still think it's really interesting to have an unusual threat), but now I kind of wish we didn't know about it in advance. It's SO obvious that "I smell a dog" and "pack, pack! kill, kill!" means there is more than one dog! How do they not know what this looming darkness/creature is? It's more than one dog!

There's never a dull moment. I just want to keep reading! There's been so much suspense with Fireheart preventing the battle with WindClan, them trying to figure out what's going on with the dog, and Bluestar's downfall. More and more cats are finding out how bad she's gotten. It's written so well that, even though her personality has changed completely, it doesn't feel out of character. She has dementia.

It's really interesting so far! Snowkit's deafness is so different from what I've seen so far in the series. I miss Bluestar's old self. And what Tigerstar is up to is very mysterious and intriguing. The dogs silently lurking somewhere is really interesting and different too. I'm excited to see what they do next and how ThunderClan finds out about them. I already know that Tigerstar has them kill Bluestar later :(

Bruh. I forgot how absolutely devastating everything in this series is.
