What an incredible finale to Warriors: The Prophecy Begins! Firestar's growth and maturity (though a bit abrupt) was extremely satisfying to reach after all these books, the plot was fast paced and honestly had me on the edge of my seat at points, and I was actually really intrigued with how dark some moments in the book got. I've really enjoyed getting to appreciate this middle grade book series from an adult perspective - it's genuinely surprising to realize the extent of the themes folded into it (immigration, fascism, racism, xenophobia, mental health, aging, disability, familial estrangement and conflict, chosen family) and this book was no exception. I didn't plan to continue to the next series in the universe but after this book, I absolutely will.
