Huh, I thought that happened offscreen.
This version makes way more sense. You can see Bluestar actually caring Oakheart exists, which is good, because the real version seems to have thrown that detail in spur of the moment later on. And the part about killing cats being a super-bad thing to do is here now instead of changing later. Also, now Tigerclaw's way smarter! It was always weird he made up a brand new reason for the death and just hoped and hoped RiverClan would never speak up. Why didn't RiverClan speak up.
I'm on The Darkest Hour now! Firestar's really annoying. He keeps suspecting Bramblepaw for non-reasons and he just pushed Darkstripe away for good. It's also annoying that apparently Darkstripe just was bad anyway. Firestar shouldn't have been pushing on him but then the book is like "actually you were right Firestar Darkstripe's an evil cat!! it's good you did all this mean stuff to him or else it could've turned out even worse!!" Noooo. Also he treated Longtail and Dustpelt way more nicely, so why did he magically know Darkstripe was a bad cat and keep being mean.
Also he keeps randomly being super-in love with Spottedleaf and then forgetting all about her.
"Cinderpelt I have to listen to Spottedleaf!!!!"
"You treat her like she was still alive!"
This part is weird because was he meant to say he has to listen to StarClan? Like, if Spottedleaf keeps coming to him over and over and over it seems pretty regular he'd say Spottedleaf specifically. Why does it mean he acts like she's alive.
"I know Spottedleaf was special to you, Fireheart."
Cinderpelt how do you know. How does Fireheartstarcat know. One time Graystripe said she was pretty and Fireheart was like okay whatever Graystripe I've got more important things to do and apparently Graystripe told the whole clan that Fireheart's disinterest proved his love because no cat was around for anything that actually showed any interest. Because there just plain wasn't any. Was Cinderpelt even born back then.
"They hadn't had enough time in life to share their true feelings for each other."
Firestar okay. Why is he super-confident Spottedleaf loved him, too. Did she speak any words to him ever besides when she kicked him out of her den. Like, Sandstorm's around him all the time and even when Cinderpelt told Firestar she liked him he didn't believe her. But Spottedleaf says get out of my den and Firestar knows it's love. Okay. Okay sure.
Also I'm really confused rereading because now apparently they both a great soulmate relationship offscreen. The other times I read the series I thought Firestar just developed a random crush on her after she died. And I thought when she was like "pay attention to Sandstorm" that that was from being annoyed at his random crush.
Also Spottedleaf just gave him the okay or whatever for Sandstorm and he's super-relieved that she approves of his new love even though they were soulmates so now he doesn't have to feel like he's cheating on her. But he never thought of this until that moment??? And so far he's never thought of it again.
Also how come Runningwind gave him a life! They didn't seem that close, they just talked a couple of times. Was there no other cat he actually knew who died? I'm not sure about this.
Also it's bothering me that Gray and Fire both got apprenctices as soon as they were made Warriors, but later on Firestar talks about giving Sandstorm and Dustpelt both apprentices and Cinderpelt says "Are you sure it's a good idea to have two inexperienced mentors at the same time?" Why not, if it was fine when it was Graystripe and Fireheart.
Also I haven't seen this mentioned on this inconsistency threads you've shown! When Cloudkit hunted his first prey, every cat was really really mad at him because it's against the Warrior code for kits to hunt. But later a kit (Bramblekit?) hunts and everyone is proud of him and sees no problem with it. Also kits are allowed out of camp way more often now even though I think it was against the code or something for a kit to leave camp before?? Maybe it wasn't, though.
Also whyyyyyy do cats keep having deathberry problems. It just keeps happening and happening and yet no cat has decided to warn others to not eat red berries. Sorrelkit had no idea what a death berry was. Why isn't it mandatory by now to tell kits about death berries as soon as they can understand language??? Do they just not care.
Also why does some cat give Firestar the gift of mentoring. What does it mean to "have" mentoring in you. Why didn't the cat explain it a way that made sense.
And oh I just ran out of characters. You needed to know all of that, right.
