Status Updates From Avant la tempête

Yellowfang ;__; also this section (and this book in general) was written really well. Them evacuating the fire reminds me of the fear of waiting out a hurricane in the dark when you have no idea what will happen to you or your house.

The fire is the only thing I remembered about this book so I've been kind of dreading it (said in a lighthearted way, but it's sad).

Aagaghgg I just want to keep reading because big things are happening but I have other responsibilities. Btw the metaphors/similes/imagery in this book are beautiful. I keep writing them down for inspiration.

Cloudpaw :( just yesterday I wanted to look up the painting of him on the cover to see if I could find the full thing, but I didn't because of spoilers, and I'm really glad I didn't! I wonder if he comes back?

Also it was funny that Fireheart was so oblivious to Sandstorm's interest in him. Everyone in the clan except him knew!

I'm still trying to get over the fact that Cinderpelt was renamed between books.

Lots of interesting things are happening and it's paced nicely. I wish I didn't already know that Cloudpaw had gone to eat kittypet food, but it was still surprising that he happily went into a house. Will he ever learn??? The way Sandstorm encourages him to let Cloudpaw decide for himself reminds me of myself watching my brother make poor decisions. Also there's a lot of great descriptions and metaphors. Summer<3
