And so. The journey has come to an end. For now.

This is the last Warriors book that has been translated to swedish. The next one will be released this autumn. (I did mail the publishing house and asked.)

Anyway, was this a good one? YES! VERY YES! Although, I will say, there was A LOT going on during the last 50 or so pages. Geezes... I was looking at the amount of pages left yesterday when we were reading aloud and thinking to myself 'how's this whole series gonna be solved in just these few pages...?'. And I was right, it wasn't. Not fully. Partly, yes.

The prize for the cat with the most character development and character growth goes to Jayfeather though. DAMN, I say! Brambleclaw has been my favorite since he first showed up in this looooong series. But now I will have to say Jayfeather is close to stealing his place. I really really disliked that character in the beginning of these books when he first showed up, but he has really grown on me!

There was just SO MUCH going on in this book though! SO MUCH! Hollyleaf though, damn girl... The dangers of holding on too hard to your faith. Hollyleaf is proof of that for sure. The twists and turns this story took with this character!!! Wow... Both me and kiddo were shocked more than once.

Lionblaze was the most consistent of the trio. Yes, he had a lot of character growth to, but still was a steady character. I think he was the one who kept his two siblings grounded, in a way? Even if yes, he did stupid things to, but I think it just improved on his character. Strangely. I liked him. He is probably the one of the siblings that are mostly like Firestar in his character. Yes, he follows the warrior codex, but he can also see that it has to be bent and sometimes broken, to make sure life in the clans will work.

Unlike Hollyleaf who thought that if you did anything against the warrior codex, life would end. And Jayfeather, well... Hang the code, as a pirate would say! Although he got more understanding as time went on, and has now matured enough to follow it in a similar way to Lionblaze.

Even though the earlier Warrior serieses was dramatic and such, I think this one really took the cake. If they up the drama like this, I fear for where this series will go.

Oh well, it's been a pure JOY to read these aloud to kiddo! Today when we read the last few VERY dramatic pages she was literally HANGING ON ME WITH HER MOUTH OPEN! Wow... Now that's a reaction to a book you rarely see when you read aloud.

I've promised her to pre-order the next book as soon as possible. We've not seen the last of the warrior cats yet!
