Graystripe's vow spoilers

at the end of Graystripe's vow, it's stated that three kits join Warriorclan. And I thought it would've been adorable if they were named

Smudgekit

Barleykit

And Graykit

Guess I'll do a quick review of Shadow as well (spoilers, duh)

I overall think out of all the recent Warriors books I've read, this one is the best. Not great by any means, but I'd say it qualifies as "pretty good". I at least had a good time reading it, which I cannot say for books like Sky, Exile From ShadowClan and a few of the new Super Editions like Graystripe's Vow, Leopardstar's Honor and Onestar's Confession. Which were all pretty garbo if you ask me and also oftentimes boring as sin.

Shadow actually had me pretty invested in the conflict. Well, part of it, anyways. The stuff with the xenophobic karens in ShadowClan, the stuff with ThunderClan's possible upcoming change in leadership and of course the whole situation in RiverClan: mega interesting and I honestly like the buildup the mystery is getting, without giving too much or too little away yet.

But I was far less interested in the "romance" between Nightheart and Sunbeam. Genuinely, I in no way feel any romantic connection between these two. There's been plenty of forced and/or rushed romances in Warriors before, but usually I feel at least somewhat of a romantic connection between two characters. Nightheart and Sunbeam meanwhile just read like friends to me, I don't get any romantic vibes off them whatsoever. Heck, even with Splashtail and Frostpaw you at least feel that Frostpaw is really into him (though Splash is probably not into her and simply using her feelings to manipulate her to his advantage). I can't say the same with Sun and Night, sorry.

That said, I do enjoy Nightheart and Frostpaw as protagonists a lot. Nightheart finally snaps out of his edgy phase and starts acting more mature which is handled pretty well, and I just feel so bad for poor Frostpaw. She's basically just a teenager who the entire Clan looked to for guidance because (supposedly) she was the only one with answers because of her connection with StarClan. Now she finally gave up her medcat apprentice position and seems MUCH happier as a warrior apprentice instead, and now she's bombared with yet another, much more vivid and real vision and Splashtail is very clearly using her feelings to try and manipulate her back into a medcat position. Give this poor girl a break!!!

As for Sunbeam, I just...do not find her all that interesting this time around. I like her as a character, don't get me wrong, but with 70-80% of her character interactions just revolving around her relationships with Lightleap, Blazefire and Nightheart so far (which does not interest me at all) she feels rather boring. I'm far more invested in her bond with Berryheart, and how, despite Sun disagreeing with her mother, she's still not immune from being manipulated by her. That's the interesting stuff, especially with Berryheart becoming a more and more prevalent antagonist as time goes on, her friend/romantic relationship stuff just feels so basic and uninteresting compared to that.

As for villains, I like that this time around the answers aren't 100% clear-cut yet. Okay, so Berryheart and her xenophobic posse are very obvious villains. They're decent but I don't find them that interesting. They're xenophobic and obnoxious, but there's not that much to them otherwise. One scene of Berryheart plotting with some RiverClan warriors doesn't suddenly make her a more interesting character; I need more than that. Tigerstar is a bit more morally gray at least in his motivations but not in his actions. He's obviously acting out of grief for the loss of his kit which was (indirectly) caused by RiverClan's lack of a leader, but his way of "helping" the Clan is um very wrong. By basically forcing his leadership onto them. There's helping and then there's forcefully taking over a Clan and acting like your original namesake, Tigerstar. And Splashtail is, well, Splashtail. He's obviously being set up as a villain but I'm not quite sure if he'll be our "main" villain for the arc like Ashfur was last time. Or Darktail in the first half of A Vision of Shadows. If we do happen to get a villain/antagonist trinity consisting of Berryheart, Splashtail and Tigerstar I think that'd be interesting, too, but honestly I feel there's more to the mysterious situation in RiverClan outside of just Splashtail having ill intentions. I feel he maybe killed Reedwhisker but I'm not certain if he's also behind things like the dogs killing Curlfeather. And Mistystar I'm still positive just died of old age, I don't think (yet) that her death was planned.

I also think that Nightheart's big turnaround from acting like an edgy lil' shit to being a more noble and mature warrior returning to ThunderClan was just a tad rushed. Remember, for the entire last two books and even parts of this one, he's mostly been just an edgelord fighting against everyone and everything in ThunderClan. Now in this book he finally matures, which is a good arc! I just...wish they took more time with it. Apparently all it takes for him to change his mind is two trips to ThunderClan (one with Dovewing and one by himself) to talk to Bramblestar and some of his other kin and then he just...quite rapidly changes his stance on his Clan. Which just doesn't feel completely earned yet because he spent SO much time in the past two books saying how much he hates it in ThunderClan. Again; this is a good character arc for him and I like seeing him mature, but it just feels a bit rushed. With hos anti-ThunderClan he was in the past two books and even early on in Shadow, I don't buy him making this giant turnaround after just two brief visits to his birthclan, sorry.

Overall still I'd consider this an enjoyable book. Solid 7/10. Nothing fantastic but for Warriors standards at least it felt decent and that aside, I wasn't bored to death which I have been with some of their recent releases (especially the ones retreading old ground like Leopardstar's and Onewhisker's SE's).

reading graystripe's vow and finally reached warriorclan... they're described as young and monkeystar is said to be apprentice-sized, which has me cracking up. im just imagining this 12 yr old larping with her friends and then an old man comes and after some adventures she's made the Real Leader of an Actual Gang like

imagine an apprentice being responsible for an entire clan including queens with kits and elders im losing my mind
