Well I finally got around to stop being lazy and write this. Here it is: My review of Bluestar's Prophecy. Okay, I can imagine what might be going on in your head now, because it is in mine, too. "Omaigosh! Omaigosh! She finally did it!" And, hehe, I'm proud of myself too.

^^ My rating
Those of you who may have read this book already may wonder why I only put 4 stars. Well, it was disappointing in my opinion. I was so excited when I began the book, after reading everything up to The Fourth Apprentice, I was really excited to read something new and warriors related. But compared to the actual series? Blah.
The plot line wasn't too well thought out, I mean seriously, Bluefur's destiny is to become deputy and hope that Thistleclaw dies soon enough?
It was also a bit depressing. Although Warriors can be depressing and melancholy, the Erins manage to make it bearable. And for people like me, who go to sleep every night fantasizing about the series, and making the thoughts as if the character were my own, adding pain and misery adds to the quality of the story. But if it too much, then the feel can get a quite overwhelming, and cause you to have a shorter sleep at night. With Bluestar's Prophecy, I managed to finish it in one or two days, so my intense late night thoughts weren't that gruesome. Though I am more into the gory parts of stories. ;)
This book was mostly about Bluestar, and showing throught her entire life, how much she had to suffer, and how much she had to deal with, and as one of my friends on FB put it, how she earned the title of a grumpy, irritable cat.
One thing I don't understand, however, was her trust in Tigerclaw. On one hand, in her super edition, she doesn't entirely trust him, since he was mentored by Thistleclaw, and he seemed to be just as, or even more bloodthirsty than his mentor. On the other hand, when Fireheart reported the evil kitty to his leader, she didn't believe him because she had full faith in Tigerclaw? o.O Mood swings in my opinion.
Well, that's it I guess. Comment! Or chat!
