battles of the clans

So, I didn't like this guide quite as much. It actually took me almost a week to read it when it should have taken me just a couple of hours.

The book has Onestar greeting some kittypets that have entered his land. They are curious about the warrior way of life and he takes them around to the other clans so they can introduce themselves. (I suppose my dislike started with this - Onestar would never in a million years be nice to kittpets like this. I understand why he has turned into the cat that he has, but this is a complete break from his current character.) The cats are brought around to speak with each of the deputies about their special battle tactics (without giving anything away). Then two very short stories follow either about the invention of the move or the uses of the move. Skyclan even pays a visit to their dreams so they are not forgotten. From there a tour is given of their home by Tawnypelt, who speaks of some of the greatest battle that have occurred by the lake already. Then, Tigerstar visits them in their dreams to show them the forest and speak of the battles there - as well as hint of battles to come. Some famous battles are touched upon, both in the past and the future (which, is where another grievance of mine came from. In this book Firestar is still alive, Tigertar hints of the upcoming fight between the Place of No Stars and the clans, yet Heatherstar has some short stories from WindClan's POV and since she speaks of Lionpaw being her best friend and how he is from another clan. It is clearly Heathertail.) It was interesting to see snippets  of battles from another cats POV. And the fall of SkyClan from both Redstar and Cloudstar's POV was touched upon after a battle that the starving SkyClan failed to win.

It was a good book. My issue is with the continuity and the choice of Onestar as the friendly cat who gives the kittypets the tour. Oh, but extra points for mentioning Gray Wing as a leader of WindClan!
