The Sight *spoilers*

[Tigerfur]

Graystripe is back! And in the first book! I thought that he would come back later, maybe in the fith or sixth book. I can't believe that Tawnypelt is a queen! I wonder who her mate is? But the two things that shocked me the most was: 1. Crowfeather got a new mate!!! and 2. Jaypaw became a Medicine Cat!!! And I love Whitewing's and Birchfall's warrior names.

[¢~Sky{frosty}~¢]

they are purtty names

[Tear]

You read it?!

My full review of the book:

Alliances

[/center]

I can't believe that Tawnypelt's a queen, I just found it out when I had finished reading the book, and was looking for a certain cat described in the book, and I looked for Tawnypelt, and I found she was a queen! I was like 'OMG TAWNYPELT'S A QUEEN!'

Now it's going to bug me, I want to know Tawnypelt's mate so bad! And how many kits she has, and their names, and genders, and descriptions! I hope she doesn't become too gentle though, I love her sharp-tongued-humor-like personality. I wish they would've mentioned her more! I mean, she's Hollypaw, Jaypaw, and Lionpaw's aunt!

I noticed a big mistake! In Sunset, Ripplepaw, in RiverClan is the apprentice of Reedwhisker, Ripplepaw is a silver she-cat. But in the alliances in The Sight, it says she's a dark gray tom! Gender and description change! Just like poor old Rowanclaw.

I think that Kestrelpaw, Harepaw, and Heatherpaw are Whitetail's kits. I can't believe that Nightcloud and Crowfeather have a son named Breezepaw! That knocked me off my paws... err feet!

I was surprised at Whitewing's name, they said that it was going to be Whitenose! I like Whitewing better than Whitenose though. I thought that Birchfall's name was going to be Birchtail, but Birchfall is okay with me I guess.

ThunderClan has a TON of apprentices! Berrypaw, Hollypaw, Mousepaw, Lionpaw, Jaypaw, Cinderpaw, Honeypaw, Hazelpaw, and Poppypaw! I'm so glad that Cinderpaw is a warrior apprentice, and not a medicine cat apprentice.

The book

Overall, it was pretty good, although it did get a little boring at some parts, there should have been more battling than there actually was, it mad me steaming mad when ShadowClan tried to move the border, and insulted, Stormfur, Brook, Graystripe, Millie, Jaypaw, and Brightheart! I was like, 'GET 'EM THUNDERCLAN! KILL THEM ALL!' lol

I can't believe that Rainwhisker is DEAD!!! NOOOOO!!! They killed off three of my favorite characters now! [Hawkfrost, Feathertail, and Rainwhisker] They had better not kill off Onestar or Tawnypelt! Or I'll kill Erin Hunter... oh wait, then there's no more books. O.O just kidding. Not funny...

I noticed though, that Swallowtail's an elder, and she was an apprentice and warrior not long ago... I wonder if this was mentioned before... I think there should have been more news to report at the gathering, it was pretty dull.

I loved that Graystripe came back! Although I wish he was his normal self, you know, that aggressive-funloving-humorous deputy. He seems too soft now...

I liked in the end that they made a little battle and hunt gathering at the end where all the Clans would compete, it's like a baseball or basketball game, except with hunting and fighting instead.

Characters:

[/center]

Jaypaw: I don't like Jaypaw, he's sooooooo ungrateful, I mean, what if you were blind, and deaf Jaypaw? What if your sisters and brothers had been killed? Or you didn't know your parents? Or you were a rogue and didn't have anywhere to live? Or.... I could go on forever!

Yeah, I know he's cranky about being blind, but he has a special gift, I felt really sorry for Brightheart when Jaypaw would snap at her! She was just trying to help! Though I wish the other cats would treat him not so much like a kit...

I'm glad when he became a medicine cat, and soon, I hope he will like being a medicine cat, I was surprised when he met Hawkfrost and Tigerstar in the forest! I'm glad Spottedleaf took him away from that horrible place.

I think he's got a little crush on Poppypaw...

Hollypaw: I've got to say, she's one of my favorite characters now, although I wish she was more sharp-tongued like her aunt Tawnypelt, she seems to have a great personality, I don't think she's naive... though other people might say so...

I didn't like it when she became a medicine cat, I had a feeling she wasn't going to enjoy it that much, she's a natural warrior, and I very happy that she's the 'fighter' in the group, we need a she-cat fighter!

I was glad when she became a warrior, so now she's like doubled up like Mothwing, a warrior and a medicine cat! She's got a great mentor, I'm glad Firestar chose Brackenfur, he's patient and kind, for a second, I thought the great Firestar himself was going to train her!

Lionpaw: Hm... we didn't really see much of him in this book, since the main parts were about Jaypaw and Hollypaw, although I thought he was going to be the 'star' of the book like Firestar in the orignal series.

He was more of what I would call a 'side-character' I really didn't think of him like a 'main' character. He's kind of perfect, I mean he caught a vole or mouse on his first hunt! [trainingsession] Well, come to think of it, Hollypaw did really well on her first battle session...

He's personality is okay, he's probably the leader of the three kits... *cough* I mean apprentices.

I think he's got a crush on Heatherpaw!

[Tigerfur]

He does have a crush on Heatherpaw, but I hope that they don't do that 'forbidden love' thing! I mean it's really old! I hope the Takes one of the she-cat apprentices, he has: Hazelpaw, Honeypaw, Poppypaw, and Cinderpaw. Any one of them will make a good mate. Also I think Mousepaw like Minnowpaw.

[¢~Sky{frosty}~¢]

ya that was abvios

[Sunsetfur]

I'm surprised that Cinderpaw didn't play a larger role, and she's still a pretty vague character. We still don't know if she knows anything about her previous life.

Also, the excerpt in the back from Dark River was extremely interesting - I was wondering if Cinderpaw's accident would lead to another crippled leg! I sooooo badly want the old Cinderpelt back.

I LOVE Jaypaw's personality; it's unlike any other personality we've encountered so far. He's depressed most of the time, sarcastic, pessimistic, moody, and has a quick temper. Not at all like his parents.

The most surprising aspects of the book for me were a) Jaypaw being a med. cat against his will and b) Crowfeather's new mate and kit.

[Tigerfur]

I love Jaypaw's personality, he's my favorite cat now! The only thing I didn't like about him was at the end, he sounded a little ambitous, like his grandfather.

[Grayshadow]

Graystripe is awesome! I was so happy when he came back. Jaypaw was cool to me too and Lionpaw.

My Own Experiences

I cannot get over the fact that Tawnypelt is now a QUEEN!!! When I started the book, I skimmed over the Clan info section, then my eyes caught the name Tawnypelt by the Queens part. I was like freaking out about it! My brother must've told me about a thousand times to shut up and stay still.

I still can't believe Crowfeather and Nightcloud are mates and they have a son named Breezepaw! That totally threw me off. I thought that he would have waited a little while longer. Do you think he still likes Leafpool?? It could be a possiblity right?

GRAYSTRIPE IS BACK!!!! I absolutely adored that part, though I wish he was more of his old self. He doesn't seem to be the same anymore.... It's really weird. I also think that Graystripe should be the deputy still, like Hollypaw says. After all, the vigil for Graystripe's death was false. And what about Brambleclaw? I know he proved he was loyal to Firestar and ThunderClan at the end of Sunset, but I mean, isn't anyone worried Tigerstar and/or Hawkfrost may come into his dreams once more?

Speaking of Tigerstar and Hawkfrost, what about Jaypaw? I'm worried he may turn out like Tigerstar/Hawkfrost, because of the ending. Personally, though, I feel like Jaypaw needs a serious reality check. He shouldn't be so rude to others, even though he's a fantastic medicine cat apprentice, albeit an unwilling, reluctant one.

I love the romance between Heatherpaw and Lionpaw, though it is a bit old. I think the authors should have done one with ThunderClan/ShadowClan, because no one would really expect that to happen. After all, ShadowClan has always been a thorn in Firestar's side after what happened with the border. (DIE BLACKSTAR!!!! DIE!!!!)

I thought it was neat how they had the day Gathering at the end, with the competitions and everything.

As for Birchfall and Whitewing's names, they're soooooo great! I didn't imagine Birchfall's name to be Birchfall. Maybe like Birchleaf, or Birchpelt/Birchfur. And Whitewing I imagined to be Whiteflight, or Whiteflower. But I absolutely LOVE them!

[Tigerfur]

I hope Ashfur fans won't get offended if I say this but I was really suprised that he agreed to mentor Lionpaw. I hope he doesn't plan on doing anything dangerous.

[Tear]

When I read it Ashfur was quite nice and relaxed to have to mentor Lionpaw.

[Tigerfur]

I agree with that, but it could be just an act. But I hope not, I don't want Ashfur to be a villan.

[[[_ moon/beam]

I've always loved Ashfur, he's personality was crushed by Brambleclaw, but Ashfur seemed to get back his personality again, I hope he finds someone else, since Brambleclaw stole Squirrelflight from him. I have a feeling Ashfur won't do anything bad.

I hope that Cinderpaw doesn't get crippled like Cinderpelt, then it would be a total reincarnation! I hope she can still be a warrior, I want Cinderpaw to be the warrior Cinderpelt never was... if Cinderpaw just gets crippled again, it'll just be the same old story, altered a little bit.

I've heard on HC that Jaypaw, Hollypaw, and Lionpaw's names will be, Jayfur, Hollystripe, and Lionfoot.

Jayfur is okay by me, it's not idiotic, but not extreme, but not special either, Jaypaw doesn't deserve to have a special name in my opinion.

Hollystripe... no, it doesn't fit her pesonality, I like Hollyleaf better, it sounds too much like Darkstripe...

Lionfoot? No, I much like Lionheart or Lionclaw. Lionfoot doesn't fit him either.

[Tigerfur]

No offense Moony, but Brambleclaw didn't still Squirrelflight from Ashfur, Squirrelflight chose[/i] to go back to brambleclaw.

Totally agree. Ashfur's much nicer now, and hopefully he can fall in love again and be happy.

I definitely don't want Cinderpaw crippled again. Here's my best-case scenario: Cinderpaw grows up to be a warrior, w/o the crippled medicine cat thing. She also remembers everything of her past life, as well as her present life, and is the kind, Yellowfang-ish cat we loved. ;D

Yeah, that was on Warrior's Wish too. Apparently someone found that on Wikipedia, and it sounds like something that some random, weird fan invented for attention. I don't believe it for a moment. If it's not confirmed by the Erin Hunters (preferably on Warrior Cats, the Guttersnipe, or a bookstore website) then I don't believe it.

Lionfoot? No, I much like Lionheart or Lionclaw. Lionfoot doesn't fit him either.

Jaypaw deserves to have a special name, in my opinion. He's only so sarcastic and bitter because he's been deprived of what he most wants: to be a warrior everyone respects. The Clan treats him like he's helpless, and he resents them for it. He's awfully like a character I read in one of my favorite book series - he was born into a family with fighting blood, but was crippled by polio in his leg. He hated not being able to train with their army and being treated like someone inferior, until he got away from his sympathetic family and learned to be a warrior with the people of the desert. His moody, sarcastic side went away and he became a hero. I hope Jaypaw turns out similar.

Anyway, all three names sound horrendous in my opinion. Hollystripe doesn't fit, and neither does Lionfoot. Jayfur's so...plain! I vote for Lionfur, Hollyleaf, and Jaywing.

[Nightpelt]

I'm sorry, but Jaypaw was getting on my nerves for much of the book. I think not everyone was treating him as a total cripple, but he preceives that they do. Like when they had Bightheart train him. She would obviously be the best mentor for him since she kindof knows what his weaknesses and strengths are, but he took it wrong. He seemed alright for a bit towards the end, but I worry about some of his last thoughts in the book. He seems very power hungry. I was really looking forward to his character. I did love seeing everything from a blind cats point of view.

Yes, my guess is Cinderpaw will be crippled, but maybe she'll become a warrior this time.
