So, I read basically all of Shattered Sky in one day because I was bored. (Don't ask me I don't even know how) and I thought I'd share my thoughts on it! Now, huge spoiler warning. If you haven't read Shattered Sky, do not see this if you don't want to be spoiled! Even if you know of many major events, I still recommend reading it first, because I was spoiled on a lot and this book still surprised me! Alright with that out of the way... DARKTAIL KILLED NEEDLETAIL Needletail is my favorite cat in this entire freaking franchise so far (save for Tallstar) and I was so sad to see her die!! Twigpaw pulling a Hollywood and being like "I didn't die lol" didn't surprise me because I knew she became a warrior but what I did not expect was her finding SkyClan and revealing that Hawkwing was her father-?! I haven't read crap about SkyClan so I only really know about Tree, Leafstar, Sharpclaw, and Echosong, and a few others, and I saw a bit about Hawkwing from fanart online, but AGH it still tugged at my heart. I also have a soft spot for gray cats, because my favorites so far are Needletail and Twigpaw/branch. Call me Great Guardian Akira, but he's right, the gray cats are always the best LOL Alright, now I have a bit of a hot take. Darktail's death, and the fire scene all the way back in power of three, was a bit over-hyped. DON'T STAB ME TO DEATH YET WAIT Darktail's death was something I was super excited for, but him just slowly fading into the water while fighting Onestar was a bit... meh. I would have found it much more in-character for him to give a loud speech on how he hated Onestar before he and Onestar died. The fire scene is another thing and I'll get into that in another project if y'all would like. But yeah!! I know Twigpaw/branch stays in ThunderClan and that makes me sad because she and Hawkwing have such an amazing relationship (also because one of my favorite characters has to stay with yucky Bramblestar) Overall, I give Shattered Sky a 9/10! It really is the best book in the Warriors series so far!
TL;DR: I love Shattered Sky except for the part when Twigpaw calls Bramblestar amazing
