I cried when Raggedstar died-I knew it was all Brokentail's fault and I dreaded what was to come.Īnd doesn't anyone else find it disturbing how utterly alone Yellowfang was at the end, with no Raggedpelt in StarClan to greet her at the Moonstone, with no solid foundation for a future?Įven Crookedstar, with everyone he loved dead, killed by Mapleshade, had a happy ending. I'm sorry that Yellowfang and Raggedpelt couldn't be together, ultimately, though. There was even an omen-both of his sisters died and only he survived, just a sign of the death and destruction he was to bring. Cruel as it sounds, she should have killed Brokentail the moment he was born and she saw that twisted look of hatred and rage on his face. I know I can't pin all the blame on him, but I'm so angry.Īnd Yellowfang. I hated him for electing Brokentail as deputy, knowing either way, Raggedpelt would die by the work of his son, but he could at least have left not leaving such an evil cat as leader.
I hated him for not seeing what he was doing wrong, for asking for Yellowfang's help when it was already too late, already done. I hate Raggedstar for being so blind, so proud. I knew I'd be disappointed if I did, but even when I finished the book, I was disappointed. Somewhere around the time Yellowfang became a medicine cat, I wanted to give up on the book. But it was still weird seeing her so young and active and cheerful (most of the time). Reading about her not being grumpy let me understand why she became grumpy, considering all she'd been through. It was just mind-boggling.Īnd then there was Yellowfang. He could be so devastatingly sweet and charming and gentle and enigmatic, a mixture of beauty and pain, or he could be mean and cruel, unpredictable and volatile. I knew it was going to end, and I knew their history, but I never knew how devastating it truly was.įirst off, Raggedpelt/star was confusing.
I love Raggedpelt, and I loved the relationship he had with Yellowfang. In the beginning, I was so in love with the book.
