I recently finished the Dawn of the Clans series and thought a discussion about it might be a good idea.
What were your thoughts on the books and the characters in them? Do you have a favorite?
Mine was probably Gray Wing. I just like how he was basically a father to so many young cats! He took in Thunder when his own father Clear Sky rejected him, he raised Turtle Tail's kits, and then he eventually had his own. Not to mention going after Jagged Peak when he didn't even plan on leaving the mountains in the first place. I was sad reading the end of Path of Stars, though I saw it coming. Gray Wing was just the best, in my opinion.

Yeah I was honestly just sad when it ended, noooooooooo I need mooooore!
It was really well written and I've just started to read it again.
They also pulled off the old-age/smoke death really well. (I'm almost certain it wasn't smoke inhalation, just something feels more old-age than smoke)
The transition to the new languages from the cats around them seemed natural. "Oh, so it's called New-leaf around here?" The walking chapters were much, much better than the new prophecy, more action going on and there were dangers there that were well written. Unlike the cat falling off the thin place death. That was more, 'the ground fell down, oh no, a cat tripped and fell'. They really improved it and gradually introduced the danger, with hints, and then the big thing comes, giant boulder, eagle is watching. They plan it out and it felt more natural for the death.
I'm only talking about that part because it's the part that i'm up to, re-reading the series.
However, the fire scene couldn't of gotten better from the first series, I cried for yellowfang, even though I didn't really like her that much.

I feel the same way, though I should probably take the time to reread the other books if I really want to be able to have a discussion about everything. It's just been so long. I think Gray Wing's death had to do with both the smoke and old age, but maybe it had to do with one of those more than the other if that makes any sense. I felt like this series moved along better just in general. There was a good balance between when things went right in the plot and when things went wrong. Of course, there wouldn't be much of a plot of nothing at all went wrong. I just like how it all played out. I remember that Yellowfang's death absolutely broke me when I read it for the first time, in 7th grade. The way that was written out was just heartbreaking. Poor Fireheart.

I think there should be another dawn of the clans arc. It ended when they actually became clans, but they didn't get their PROPER clan names... It could be just my opinion though

I wanted like the beginning beginning of the clans. When tigers, lions, and cheetahs roamed the forest! That would be way cooler. Also I didn’t like how Gray Wing died. This is how I would’ve done it: Gray Wing would use the last of his strength to fight Slash. He defeats him, but at the cost of his life. Gray still dies, but full fillings!

I think that beginning would have been a little farfetched for how the rest of the books go. I personally like how it comes together.

Good, but you probably shouldn't joke about not respecting others.
