I loved that it mentioned Dovewing and Ivypool's sibling bond in a wholesome way and they shared grief about their kits. Very refreshing.

Hold up. Ivypool's Heart IS OUT? ALREADY? Damn, time has passed quickly, It seems like it was just yesterday that the cover got leaked

You know what? I bet omens come from double dead/faded cats. Only the unemotional omnipotent kitties could make the most ominous prophecy

StormClan is so exciting to me, I think it's because we rarely get a sense of Clan history outside of the origin story, the events of the actual books, and of course Skyclan getting kicked out. For all we know, the cats in the forest lived in relative status, only engaging in petty border squabbles for generations until Tigerstar showed up. Suddenly we're given the chance to look at those generations not as a static, uneventful past, but as history. Cataclysmic events, heroes and villains, now lost to memory.

Makes me wonder if we would get a warrior super edition that literally focuses on a dead Starclan cat (ideally someone new and not Firestar or someone else who already had a lot of attention) and just, do something

new lore?? in MY warrior cats??? im kicking my feet squealing like a child again. we have been fed by the erins finally

I loved loved LOVED Ivypool's Heart, what do you MEAN we have a CANON LEADER/LEADER PAIRING!!!!?!?!

I can only assume the Erin's will continue to build upon this, because if they don't it will feel like they are deliberately trolling their fans.

i loved this book so much
I read it in one day
and it was great that they added new lore about the Clans

I stopped reading WC after the great war. Firestar was the main reason I read the series. I grew up with him, i stayed until he died, and then I moved on with my life.
Then I found you, and tangentially kept up with the series. This book makes me want to pick it back up, just to see where they go with this. I'll wait until the next one for now, but im excited for this new era in WC!

Ivypool's Heart has been SUCH a refreshing book to get. I was a bit worried originally, and the book has a lot of filler. But I, for one, don't actually mind the filler this time, nor do I mind that it's a traveling book. There's a lot of fun scenes, and fun interactions with the characters, although I feel like Whistlepaw wasn't very.. utilized, really. She was there. She was most definitely there!!!

But I enjoy the fact that they're willing to add to the lore THIS much. I figured that's what they were going to do, but adding an entirely new clan? A different (but still similar) species with a whole CLAN? And the expanded cat heaven and cat hell lore? EATING THIS UPPPPP!!!!! I loved every new character introduced, and I loved every new bit of lore. Such a new and unique book that's genuinely got me excited about warrior cats again.

My favorite part though are the barn cats with the dogs. Love them. Need a series entirely focused on them. Actually the seagulls too? Need them in the main series being awful.

I love the addition of Stormclan more than I do the idea of Tigerclan, Lionclan, and Leopardclan being recanonized honestly, I enjoy it!

I wonder if such a focus on Icewing (kinda), and her being there learning the customs of Stormclan makes me wonder if she will become Riverclan leader and maybe please hopefully bringing these customs to Starclan, that’s wishful thinking though

I heard one language had thunderclan translated as “stormclan” oh boy. The gaps and the holes in language errors and the series are very large. So many things have just being piled on top of each other, and you’re absolutely right. I’m happy we’re seeing some change

I love how there is so much emptiness the writers can play with between dawn of the clans and the tpb and they finally decided to use it. The potential for new stories is endless and exciting and they can't finish the series without filling in that part of the clans history imo.

i think they should do a super edition from ashfur's perspective when he was plotting to steal bramble's body

Interesting that an afterlife river is canon now and Bee (I think that's his name- from the cats that Nightheart and Frostpaw stay with) has that dream about walking along a river. Could be a coincidence but I'm still a fan of the Beestar or Bee medicine cat theory. Or maybe they'll form their own clan or tie in with Stormclan? Idk but it's a pretty big coincidence (or red herring) if it's unrelated.

Ivypool's heart was pretty good !
I really liked how Ivypool's grief was depicted. It felt real and it was handled with care.

The Stormclan and Wildcat lore was  great. We are finally seeing some lore !

The part with Beach and Slate was pretty fun too

in perfect world the erins would be watching these moonkitti videos and, much like spongebob, scream at each other frantically to "WRITE THAT DOWN, WRITE THAT DOWN"

Honestly I really am hoping the series is getting on its feet in terms of lore again. In most of my other fandoms I enjoy making lore headcanons but despite being in the fandom for over a decade and occasionally thinking about it I can never bring myself to EXPECT more lore below what we already have. I’m hoping those creative ideas come washing in one of these days

BRING BACK APPRENTICES GOING TO STAR CLAN AT LEAST ONCE TOWARDS THE END OF THEIR APPRENTICESHIP AND LEADERS COMMUNICATING WITH STARCLAN OCCASIONALLY PLEAAASE 😭
