taking advantage of the last couple months of my KU by reading indie/lesser known titles that aren’t at my library. this one’s been on my list for a while so let’s see how it goes

rereading for my book club. maybe i’ll have a different perspective now that i’ve reread the series! also rereading in anticipation for the movie which i am HYPED about

this book is.. really disturbing. describing a little girl as sensual is pretty sickening

man i was really digging this book and now i'm struggling. it is such a drag. there's way too much exposition and dialogue happening

next book club pick and looking forward to it!

ngl struggling with this one. the dialogues are cringe inducing and painful to read. trying to power through

this book is so gross but so good lmfao

oh this book is GOOOOOOD

oof, this is gonna be a tough one for me. im not gonna lie im kind of forcing myself to get through this book right now. once again, i just really think i'm not a fan of cozy books ^^'

ooooohhhh yesssss the psychological downfall of ivypaw. i knew it was coming but i love to see it.

next on the book club list and it’s… another whimsical fantasy adventure lol. at least it’s about half the length that tress was

god i am reaaaaally struggling with this book.

i’m ngl, this book is a bit cliche, but i’d be lying if i said i wasn’t enjoying it lolol.

oh this is GOOD. strong start to a new arc. i freakin love Dovepaw

i know i said i wanted to take a break but i missed the world too much 😭 plus i need another audio book to listen to for my commutes lol.

absolutely loving this book. so far a 5-star read

unfortunately my hold ended before i was able to finish the book so going to put it to the side and either get a physical copy to finish or go back on the waitlist.

dragged a bit again after the halfway point/my last update and the changing POV’s in the middle of the chapter is a little disorienting. but at the same time kind of interesting bc now we get the idea that the Elk must be the narrator. there was so much build up but i feel that the end result this time around wasn’t nearly as good as the first.

alright uh.... this book just went from 0 to 100 real quick LOL. the build up kind of made it worth it.

on that note i’m actually done with EVERY clans shit. even thunderclan. everyone is just always doing dumb shit and getting into trouble and getting angry with each other… i really miss when the clans were journeying together and everyone ignored borders and clans for a while. why did that have to go away??? it’s like none of it ever happened, what was even the point? i’m so done w the plot holes man

man i absolutely have to take a break from this series after this arc. it’s starting to really pmo. i’m so done with shadowclans shit like… how tf are you going to tell firestar to “get his clan under control” when AN OUTSIDER TOOK OVER YOUR CLAN AND CONVINCED YOU TO IGNORE THE WARRIOR CODE AND STARCLAN???? it’s like the authors just forgot what they’ve written… stressing me out so much 😭

after waiting months its finally available to loan! now time to grind it out before my loan is up lol

OH but i am heavily digging hollyleaf's mental decline. i don't even remember what's going on with lionblaze which is disappointing considering his role in the last book was very interesting.

also i got mixed up with jayfeather's story from the last book. he has been lacking in this one. but he's a pivotal part of solving the mystery.

not a super great final book tbh, it's mostly just been clans arguing, the trio hunting down and constantly going back and forth with Sol (why the hell are we being so hospitable towards a potential murderer????), and hollyleaf caring too much about the warrior code. but a couple secrets have just been revealed which has been cool.

once again, jayfeather's storyline is the only interesting one out of the three lol.

god i am struggling with this book. it's for my book club, which i am the host for, so i feel compelled to read it through. but i'm honestly not enjoying it so far. it seems like it's going to pick up soon tho...hopefully

to follow my last note: not even just this book, but the series as a whole. it’s like they forget what they’ve written. it is really so infuriating sometimes

onestar: how dare you assume we would kill one of your own! we would never break the Warrior code like that!
*invades TC in the middle of the night with intentions of hurting their clan and risking killing cats in the process*

this book makes me want to slam my head against a wall sometimes. the erin hunters ruined onestar and i will never forgive them for it.

things are finally getting interesting. i love that i started this arc hating jaw paw but now he’s easily become one of my favorite characters in the series. lionblaze has been fun too. hollyleaf…. eh

meant to put it at 37 percent and not page 37.
