Books like Warrior Cats Staffel 6/04. Vision von Schatten. Dunkelste Nacht: Staffel VI, Band 4

Truthfully, I’m confused why this book got so many bad reviews on Amazon! I personally loved it, though I will agree that it read more as a filler than anything else, but considering how book three of Vision of Shadow ended, it makes sense why there would be a slight lull before the explosion that we all know will occur in books five and six.**WILL CONTAIN SPOILERS FOR BOOKS 1-3**Before I continue, there is a spoiler warning, so stop now if you have not read books 1-3 of Vision of Shadows.Okay, guys, so this wasn’t the most exciting edition of Warriors, but it was way better than the Dawn of the Clans books, and had more action, too. Firstly, my complaints against this: SkyClan gets their new territory (not surprising), but I feel like Twigpaw’s arc in this entire book was useless. She flip flopped all over the place. I get why her feelings are so mixed about being either SkyClan or ThunderClan, but most of her POV felt like it was simply a way for us to see into SkyClan while everything else was happening. I didn’t like it, and half of her conversations felt stupid, I’m sorry. Twigpaw, I love you, but no.I’m still not a fan of Violetpaw. She is still acting like a brat (yes, I think she’s a brat in the other books–after how she behaves in ShadowClan and her “superior” attitude over the situation with Darktail nearly got her killed).Now on to the good stuff. I was not expecting ShadowClan to be as destroyed as it was. until the first Gathering meeting, I thought they still had a fairly good number of warriors left, but no. They’re down to less than half of their clan, and Rowanstar is losing his courage. ShadowClan warriors are still acting disrespectful to him (gee, isn’t that why Darktail was able to come in so easily?), and I honestly cannot understand why they acted that way in the beginning.SkyClan now has their own territory. I have been waiting for this moment since Firestar’s Quest. Finally–FINALLY–SkyClan is back with the clans! You guys have no idea how excited I am that this has happened in the books. I genuinely wondered if it ever would.RiverClan: What the bloody heck are you doing in this book. (I will say this is becoming a nightmare with all of the clans being butthurt over stuff).When Onestar died in the end of book three, I’m not going to lie, I was happy, and that made me super sad. Onewhisker used to be one of my favorite characters of all time, and I absolutely hate his leader story arc. It made zero sense to me that he turned against Firestar and ThunderClan, and even the rest of the clans. He was a coward and had a fling? The whole “oooh, Darktail is his son” was stupid and made me super pissed. Onewhisker at that point in time did not act like Onestar. They’re basically two different characters. He would not have gotten a cat pregnant or even had a thing for a cat outside the clans. He was fiercely loyal to WindClan, so what the actual heck, Erin Hunter crew. I don’t get why you did that.I was super worried that Harestar would continue Onestar’s idiocy, but I’m happy he isn’t. Harestar seems to have a level head on his shoulders and is open to actually communicating and helping the other clans (finally).And then we come to Thunderclan. I don’t think I’m ever going to get past the fact that it is super weird to see Brambleclaw as the leader. Firestar was THE cat, and he’s gone, and I cried, but Bramblestar carries on as Firestar did, but he’s starting to feel like a Firestar copycat. I’ll wait to pass judgement until this series has ended.In a nutshell, I really appreciated this book for bringing certain things full circle and also for introducing new and old characters alike. We got to meet old SkyClan cats from Firestar’s Quest and even SkyClan’s Destiny and they’re back in the stories now. It introduced new characters, a new prophecy, and some impending doom. I’m assuming Darktail is dead, so I’m super curious to see what horror is coming that has StarClan in such a fuss. Also, Tree has amazing powers. why didn’t any of the Three have a power like his?A bridge book, but a good book.
