first because I don't have a lot of time and second because I don't think this is a book

However, I do want to get my thoughts out about it because this book is the latest in

a long line in a chain of bad books and bad choices and I would like to talk about that

in a longer format than short note posts.

This was a controversial book before it was even released,

but save for the excerpt released on the website last month and the one leaked passage that

a lot of people saw, I have avoided looking into or judging the book as a whole, until

All right, for anyone who might not have read the book or gone away despite my warnings,

Long story short, after Onestar and Darktail's deaths, Onestar is asked to think back on

his life while Tallstar and some other Starclan cats decide whether or not he belongs in Starclan.

What we get is supposedly a full summation of Onestar's life, from his apprenticeship

under Deadfoot where he ventures into the Twolegplace alongside the kittypet apprentices

Windclan tried out, to the clans leaving the lake and him leaving Smoke and Darkkit, to

his clashes with Mudclaw and then Firestar, and finally to his downfall when Darktail

The format is no different from a regular book, but this time it's apparently Onestar

thinking about his life, and when that's done, he concludes he's not all bad, Tallstar agrees,

Onestar's Confession is a completely useless book.

The main points of this story were told in Starlight in April of 2006, about 16 years

ago, Shattered Sky in April of 2017, about 5 years ago, and Winds of Change in June of

We did not need to hear the New Prophecy and A Vision of Shadows stories *again* so soon

and with so little added, which is an unfortunate pattern in a fair chunk of the recent supplemental

Meanwhile the pieces that actually would have been new, Brokenstar's exile of Windclan,

Onewhisker's relationship with Smoke, his relationship with Fireheart, how that relationship

changed with Firestar to the point of the Eclipse battle, his opinions on the Dark Forest

trainees and why he chose Harespring as a deputy, all of that is blatantly skipped over

or trimmed down to such a point that nothing is gained from it other than what we already

We learned about three new kittypets: Bailey and her kits Brushpaw and Tansypaw, or rather

Melody, who were all nice…slices of characters, and were fun for what they brought, but since

they all only had a few chapters to exist in, they didn't get to show off a ton of who

they were and were mainly there for the sake of one character's motivation.

And, of course they had to exist for a brief period, because they were retconned characters.

We knew they couldn't become full warriors as soon as they got their apprentice names

because they weren't shown in the allegiances for the first and second arcs.

But bad pacing and not giving time to relationships are issues that underline so many of the problems

in this book and that's something I'll continue to bring up as we go along.

I also can't continue without addressing the elephant in the room: the various elements

solidified for the family tree in this book, especially those to do with Onestar.

Some were done, sloppily, in the excerpt we got on the website, though mostly in the other

clans, Thunderclan unfortunately included.

Graystripe and Darkstripe are now officially brothers and both kits of Willowpelt guys!

Over in Windclan, Ashfoot and Morningflower are now Onestar's siblings (but they actually

made a mistake since the original author post about this made Ashfoot and Morningflower

older and this book made them littermates, which is not a meaningless choice as it makes

Fireheart and Onewhisker stupidly far apart in age when they were implied in the first

arc to both be new warriors on parallel paths).

However, even past the excerpt we had plenty more problems.

Whitetail was canonized as Onestar's second mate and Heathertail as his daughter.

This means that Onestar became mates with his former apprentice, a fact that the book

decides to explicitly point out in a very poorly worded passage, and Breezepelt and

Heathertail are officially both mates and cousins, something that the book never even

acknowledges, as is the case with many romantic relationships that were accidentally written

to be between family members in this series.

But as usual, none of this was necessary, and it absolutely could have been retconned

or ignored altogether since none of it was in the books before.

Whitetail was implied to have shared a nest with Onestar once, but this easily could have

been ignored, or her being Onestar's apprentice could have been ignored.

They could have easily left Onewhisker as an only child, explaining his name along with

stopping his daughter from marrying her cousin.

That said, it was also kind of inevitable that the team would decide to do this given

For a few years now, in just about all of their supplemental material, they have been

adding as many old author statements turned website family tree facts into the books as

possible, without giving any of them second thoughts or even looking back at the original

statements that the ideas distantly came from.

Whether it's a point of pride, covering their backs, carelessness, laziness, or trying to

maintain promises they made to make the website seem more official, this is the road they

have been taking and they don't seem to be turning back.

So from this point of the video onward, I will be doing my best to ignore the family

The book has far more problems than just that, and they all warrant some amount of discussion.

Firstly, the prologue and epilogue, which I'm going to discuss together since they chronologically

happen right next to each other, immediately after Onestar and Darktail's deaths.

Both of them are put in a sort of field neutral zone where they are to be judged.

Darktail is immediately pulled away, to the Dark Forest by Ashfur we would assume, but

also possibly to the Dark Forest by Starclan who somehow have power over rogues now.

Onestar is then faced with Tallstar and asked to reflect on his life while Starclan discusses

You might think this is a return of the trial system from Squirrelflight's Hope, but you

Onestar doesn't present a case to anyone, and the remainder of the book telling his

life is not anything he says aloud or even anything that is analyzed by whatever unseen

Onestar himself doesn't even get to see anyone besides Tallstar in this time, and all Tallstar
