A Dangerous Path

This book is extremely frustrating for the majority, but the ending made it all worthwhile.

First, the most frustrating aspect of Fireheart in these books is the fact that he is always on someone's bad side. Always. Both with his platonic and romantic relationships, which is funny, considering that he becomes leader of the clan.

He is always at odds with someone. Why the authors always want to put this unnecessary drama in the story is beyond me. I understand that Fireheart is young and inexperienced, but they did my favorite boy dirty this book.


Then came the ending. Bluestar has been suffering from paranoia for a long time, since Tigerstar and his betrayal. She never recovered until the end of this book. Her death was beautiful, in the sense that she completely redeemed herself and died the leader she was born to be. I like that the writers gave her closure With her kids too (Stonefur and Mistyfoot).

The ending made everything worthwhile. I just hope that next book Fireheart doesn't have to suffer all this incessant drama, but Bramblepaw's anger at Fireheart for his distrust is warranted and will likely come up next book many times.

Another action filled book with tension and interesting characters.
I just know I am gonna miss swiftpaw, but the arc with Brightpaw/Lostface is interesting (and sad and just heart wrenching) and the entire plot is gripping.
Tigerstar is now leader of Shadowclan, but hasnt ever stopped thinking about his revenge and overtake of Thunderclan even killing multiple of his former clanmates to get his plan in motion.
Possibly even making the first gap at the fence where the dogs where being kept in.
Bluestar was killed in this book and though she was a great character I found myself appreciating the fact Fireheart gets to be leader.
Love these cat books
