I loved this book personally because it is full of mystery and excitement. It was about how Sol came back and is trying to tear the clans apart. Also a mysterious murder has ripped Thunderclan apart. Lionblaze is being taunted by bloody visions of the cat he once loved (who belongs to Windclan) from his grandfather, Tigerstar. Greencough has been taking thunderclan close to death. When Lionblaze discovers catmint, (the only thing that can cure greencough) just on the other side of the border with Windclan, he is too chicken to go get it. Will Thunderclan survive?
