Despite the lack of action, I enjoyed this one a lot more than the fourth book! There was a lot of focus on character development, and I really felt for the struggles that all the cats were going through. Leafpaw most of all. Her feelings of abandonment from her Clan - feeling replaced by Brightheart, conflict with her sister, and guilt over loving Crowfeather - were completely relatable. She felt unwanted, like all her friends and family had turned their backs on her. (view spoiler)[It broke my heart when she decided to leave them all behind to run away with Crowfeather! The fact that she felt like they didn't want her anymore, even though they truly did want and need her was so heartbreaking. (hide spoiler)]

The continuing conflict between Brambleclaw and Squirrelflight killed me, too. I was hoping their issues would be resolved soon, but the chasm only grew :( I'm hoping it's resolved in the final book of the series! I also don't like where Brambleclaw's character is going - he was such a strong, honorable cat in the beginning of the series; to see him succumbing to ambition like his father is so hard. I hope he sees sense soon as well!

(view spoiler)[Cinderpelt. I AM NOT OKAY. Her death was almost as rough as Bluestar's and Yellowfang's! I was legit sobbing, I can't deal man. I CAN'T. My heart is broken.

Side note: I NEED MY GRAYSTRIPE BACK NOW PLS. (hide spoiler)]
