  • Bluestar’s Prophecy…a monumental entry in the Warriors world, both for the creators and fandom, if ever there was one. This is an emotionally and culturally rich and highly beloved story…so I hope you will forgive me if I still have my issues, whether in the shallow romance, the continued role of sexism and religion in removing agency in this world, and the choices made in the background that would impact how authors and fans alike would view not just future material, but the past as well…and not always in a good way.

    22:34 Hard disagree. Making Whitestorm her nephew enhances their relationship. You can be friends with your family. They clearly cared a lot about each other and I find Bluefur taking care of her nephew and watching over him, shaping him into the noble warrior he becomes, is great. After everything, Whitestorm basically returned the favor by taking care of her in her ailing years. It’s beautiful. In a series where secondary familial relationships are often forgotten, it’s nice to have one as strong as Bluestar and Whitestorm.
    I have my own issues with Bluestar’s Prohecy but Whitestorm being her nephew is the one thing I love about this book. That and Goosefeather.
    Plus it was revealed he was her nephew in Secrets of the Clans.
    Edit: Them being “old friends” is just so boring. So I’m glad the Erins did something more impactful and meaningful with them. Sorry but I’m really passionate about this one thing. I have a lot of emotions about Bluestar and her family and her story so…

      You put it perfectly, them being kin enhances their their relationship soo much more. Of course the one downside is, we can't ship them anymore, but I digress, bluestar and whitestorm have a better relationship as aunt and nephew than some characters have as parent and child.

      I agree! And it in a way also explains why Bluestar never picked Whitestorm are her deputy after Lionheart and Tigerclaw were gone. Whitestorm was the obvious choice but she chose Fireheart and in a way this explains it. Nepotism. Did the Erin’s plan rhat? Definitely not but i enjoy the idea. Because honestly, Whitestorm deserved to be deputy way longer than what he got.

    Bluestar’s Prophecy is by far one of the best Warrior Cat books in my opinion. I wish that all the books in the series were this detailed, emotional, and had wayyyy less fillers and more small character moments.

    It always confused me how Bluefur was forced to give up her kits for the sake of becoming deputy when in the future Squirrelflight was able to keep her position while giving birth to Alderheart and Sparkpelt!
    Might’ve been a new team thing, or maybe even because Squilf was already deputy before she had her litter, but it always made me frustrated about the double standards!!

  • @daydreamer8941
    @daydreamer8941 4 місяці тому +9

    I wish we could have seen Bluefur interact more with Oakheart since IMO she had more chemistry with Crockedstar than she did with Oakheart. I know their relationship wasn't long but it didn't make much sense to me that Bluestar who experience grief so young would intentionally split up her family knowing that would break her heart.

    One of my favorite warriors books. Next to Tallstar’s revenge. This book never made me cry like that one did, but man does it hit hard. I’m doing a book report on it, mainly focused on how many strange double standards are placed on bluestar and other female characters for no real reason. It’s something i’m very passionate about and whether or not it was intentional, the message this book conveys about that kind of stuff is really interesting

    Bluestar's Prophecy is the first Super Edition I've ever read, it's absolutely great.
    To be honest though, I don't like the transition where she immediately becomes the leader in a chapter (To which I forget), and the book summarizes that Sunstar died recently. I feel like they should've included that part in (As in they should've included a part of the book where the reader can read about the fight happening). Would it make the book longer? Yes. But it would make the book even better too.

  • @Annonimous1000

    Can i just say, the parallels between Mapleshade and Bluestar are much more apparent than Mapleshade and sandstorm.
    Both had cross boarders romance. Both have kits. And both in a way were isolated from their clans. Bluestar with having cut herself off every time her family passed into self isolation. Mapleshade being a narcissist and isolating herself in a way by thinking she was above her clan.
    But the main difference between their histories is their personalities. Bluestar’s though difficult and cold when upset never lead her clans to doubt her loyalty. She was loved and cared for and even her cross boarders lover genuinly felt things for her and wanted to stay with her. While Mapleshade forced to get everything she wanted and was greatly disliked for it.
    Its not a 1 to 1 parralel but definitely much better than Mapleshade being envious and pissy at Sandstorm. Sorry probably not the place for it but brain kinda got caught on that thought.

    I wish that her and crookedstar became mates in secret, instead of her and Oakheart. They both had such a good chemistry. I loved them on the gatherings when they both were apprentices and warriors

    This was my favorite book to reread while waiting for the next release! But there are some retcons and weird additions to the series that don't hold up.
    Though I'll never forgive that one old author's statement that said thistleclaw initially went to starclan and was chased out by Bluestar.
    I think a lot of family tree grossness could have been avoided if the writers would say "this character's never before seen parents were a passing loner/kittypet/member of another clan". Not only do the family trees not become circles, but there have to he more halfclan relationships that just flew under the radar.

    I remember going into reading Bluestar’s prophecy and knowing Moonflower will die. But I did not expect how it was going to happen the emotional POV that Bluepaw portrayed. Was so heartbreaking it’s literally the only death I ever cried to.

    Bluestar’s Prophecy and Crookedstar’s Promise are both in my top 5 Warriors books. There’s just something about how these books feel that’s really special.
    They both have their problems of course like all the books do, but I think the quality outweighs the problems.
