Return to the Clans (Manga)

Tigerstar and Sasha return in the third installment of the Tigerstar x Sasha series. Return to the Clans is the anticipated second to last manga focusing on Sasha.

This manga (and the ones before it) are from Sasha's point of view. You get to see what her life was like while Tigerstar was plotting to take over the forest.

With a slightly diferent art style from the loved Greystripe Manga, Return to the Clans promises to have much in store for readers.

The plot is as follows;

Sasha has decided to return to the forest to raise her three kits, Hawk, Moth and Tadpole. The dark Tigerstar hunts Sasha's dreams, making her nervous and wary. The mother hopes that she is a safe distance from ShadowClan, fearing her kits will be taken away from her if Tigerstar finds them. The cold leaf-bear seems never to end, and Sasha begins wondering if her kits would be better off in the Clans, where they would be fed and safe. Sasha finds herself sinking into despair as she wonders where she belongs.

It looks interesting, I would like to see what happens to Sasha, she just kind of vanishes in the new series. I'm not particularly fond of this art style, its different from the Warriors Refuge art. =/

Do you think this manga will be a yay or a nay?

This book hits stores on June 9th!

Is she really gone for good?

WARNING: The following contains LARGE spoilers for Sunrise!!

Sunrise...the book that left us all shaking our heads in disbelief. The shear shockingness of the book made many readers crave the upcoming series Omen of the Stars--the continuation of Power of Three.

Perhaps the largest shocker was the 'death' of Hollyleaf...but is she really gone for good? Could she have found a way to survive? After all she has been in the tunnels before...maybe she found a safe haven. It just seems a bit strange to me that she would die so suddenly...she has a lot of potential as a villain or even just a misguided cat.

Maybe she really did die, but is watching from the Dark Forest/StarClan. Erin never confirmed that she went to either place. Erin Hunter surprised us once, and I think she'll do it again.

What ever happened, I still think she has a part to play in the upcoming series, Omen of the Stars.

Do YOU think Holly is gone for good?

Omen of the Stars... theory time!

We all love a good theory, right? Well Spottedstar gave me a great one yesterday!

Warning: Possible Spoilers for Omen of the Stars

Okay, so Spottedstar posted this;

"i just had an interesting theory. i think that well just say dovekit was part of the 3. once ivykit found out she would be jelous, kill her sister and become the 3rd cat herself. "

Maybe! It is rumored that the Omen of the Stars series will be darker then the Power of Three series. It will also be a direct continuation. Its just a point of view switch, but the main cats will stay the same. (with the addition of Ivy + Dove)

Maybe Ivykit is Hollyleaf reborn? Like Cinderpaw? I know it sounds farfetched, but maybe Hollyleaf was part of the prophecy all along...but just not in her first body...Crazy right? But hey, we've learned to expect the unexpected from Erin & co!

Dovekit does seem to be the main cat of the two. (I could be mistaken, but its Dovekit on the cover of the first Omen of the Stars book, The Fourth Apprentice.) Ivykit could become very jealous of living in her sister's shadow. Or perhaps one dies in an accident?

Maybe they both live...who knows? It seems a bit unlikely because only one of them COULD be the Fourth Apprentice. Unless they merge and stuff, but that would be kind of creepy.

o.0

Unfortunately no one has solid answers. (Except for those lucky enough to get their paws on the book before it comes out!) We'll have to wait a while longer for Erin to release more details. :(

Post your theories here!

Ivykit & Dovekit pictures!

The upcoming series, Omen of the Stars will star Ivykit and Dovekit, two ThunderClan kits. For fun, I decided to post pictures of what I think they look like...

Dovekit,

Warriors description:

Dovekit - Fluffy gray she-kit with green eyes.

Do you think these pictures are accurate?

Russian Warrior Cats

Here is a Russian drawing of a ThunderClan cat (probably Fireheart) bringing down a bird. Interesting right?

You can see ferns and grasses in the background but no trees. Perhaps this was in old ThunderClan territory.

Notice how all the different countries seem to have a 'look' for Fireheart? Chinese is tabby, American/Canadian is solid ginger and Russian is ginger-y with highlights. Its unique! Yay for art styles~!

Do you like the Chinese or Russian Warrior Cats better?

Hollyleaf's Secrets

Warning! The following contains spoilers for Sunrise!!

Silverstar posted another excellent theory yesterday--this time about Hollyleaf. It got me thinking why did Hollyleaf snap in the end? What possessed her to kill Ashfur and go insane? Hollyleaf's insanity seemed different from Bluestar's gradual decline. She seemed to be a perfectly good warrior, a little obsessed with the Warrior Code, but a good warrior never the less.

As an apprentice, Hollypaw was happy and showed no signs of her dark future. She had a slight dislike and suspicion of Ashfur, but nothing that may have possessed her to murder him. As she grew older though, Hollyleaf's dislike of Ashfur grew...

Eventually she became so dark that the black warrior even tried to kill her own mother, Leafpool, with death berries.

Silverstar thinks that Tigerstar and Hawkfrost may have been 'controlling' Hollyleaf from the Dark Forest. Remember how Tigerstar sent Lionblaze images of Heathertail's dead body? Perhaps Tigerstar sent Hollyleaf images of Squirrelflight, Jayfeather and Lionblaze's dead bodies. Perhaps Tigerstar told Hollyleaf that Firestar would exile them all. Perhaps that was the 'red haze' Hollyleaf spoke of.

Or maybe Hollyleaf's state of mind was darker then readers originally thought. Maybe she was a murder all along...

I don't think so though, she was too happy and innocent in her apprentice days.

So...why, Hollyleaf?
