THERE WILL BE THREE, KIN OF YOUR KIN, WHO HOLD THE POWER OF THE STARS IN THEIR PAWS.

"remember when 30 seemed so old now lookin' back, its just a steppin stone to where we are, where we've been said we'd do it all again remember when"

just finished reading Ivypool's heart and I thought it was pretty good! I actually think grief is something that warrior cats usually handles well (at least in super editions), and Ivy's journey throughout this book was believable and emotional. I liked how the group, save Whistlepaw, was basically a bunch of grieving cats learning to let go alongside their journey.

Also lore is real now??? Which is cool?? I appreciate having a less horrifying explanation for what happens to cats after they fade (rather than just "they're gone forever whoops") I also loved the story of Stormclan and the wildcats, I thought I was very unique for a warriors book

Overall I really enjoyed it. I love Ivypool so that helped, but I think its a way better super edition than a lot of the ones we've gotten recently and the lore makes warriors afterlife canon more understandable

curlfeather spends her childhood pretending not to fear the elders tales of tigerstars reign over riverclan, about how noble riverclan was left with no other choice but to submit or die. what else could they do? these stories are heard less frequently as she gets older, and by the time she has her full name the stories about tigerclan are replaced by those of the great battle. reedwhisker trains her to put her clan above all else. the good of the clan always comes first. your clan are your kin. in their rare moments alone, she listens to an aging mistyfar wistfully recall her brothers bravery at bonehill, a sacrifice not many are old enough to remember. curlfeather has never heard anyone mention stonefur before, so she sits in silence as mistystar mourns, and at her young age decides that this is how she wants to be remembered. this is what a riverclan cat is supposed to be. curlfeather was raised to believe that riverclan is something to be proud of, something to fight for. your clanmates come first. riverclan is virtuous. riverclan is selfless. riverclan is pure. her father tells her as much. talks of tigerclan resurface when darktail comes around, spoken in hushed voices inside cramped dens. curlfeather wonders why no one seems to be doing anything about it until her father finally stands up to darktail himself. and he loses. days pass, more cats give in, and curlfeather is silent as an emaciated reedwhisker finally concedes and pledges his loyalty. she can only watch as he repeats himself, louder, again and again and again. she watches him slink away, head down, and she thinks of stonefur

Stancy is supposed to be mirroring Mileven. But Stancy, compared to Mileven has changed.

Steve isn't the same Steve as he was before. He's not self centered anymore, he isn't an ass and he isn't a bully. Nancy also changed, she isn't self centered, waiting for everything from everyone and arrogant.

The reason why Nancy got with Jonathan it's because he was at the right time. A time where Steve and her were having problems in their relationship.

But then Steve changes and evolves through the show while Nancy is now with Jonathan. They're grown up. And it feels like Nancy is now seeing Steve as... himself, his attractive self again. She still has feelings for him, it's clear. And so does Steve.

Steve and Nancy were right but wrong time. Jonathan and Nancy were wrong but right time.

They miss communicatate, like... Mileven. The girl feels like she's a bit more independent, like.. oh again, Mileven, El is independent. They fight, again... Mileven coded. And they have some strong moments... Mileven.

While with Steve... they have sweet moments - like byler. They have intimacy and fight for dumb things- byler. They always look out for each other and listen each other - byler.

I think Stancy now is more byler coded than Mileven coded while Jancy is more Mileven coded than byler coded.

Steve deserves Nancy, she's his first love. Nancy deserves Steve, he's her first love.

I feel bad for Jonathan tho. But he just doesn't fit it.

And one more thing about Jancy... they constantly need to reassure themselves and give reasons of why they're together/love each other. They're giving arguments to prove this to themselves...

I feel like Jancy is sibling behavior while Stancy is actual love. Sounds familiar? Oh yeah...

It's my entire opinion, but I feel like a Stancy redemption isn't such a bad idea.
