ASC WIND SPOILERS
None of the characters mention it in book but it's made clear that Reedwhisker and Mistystar dying in the same DAY was not at all planned. And i love that detail so much. I feel like it adds such depth to the plan, the mystery through the arc. There was an obvious culprit in splashtail, a surprise villain with curlfeather, accompanying villains who's knowledge and intent as well as direction still aren't fully known with podlight, BUT there was also coincidence. There was a careful plot, one with risks and careful planning before the book even started with clues laid all over, but not EVERYTHING is a clue. In the BEST way
Asc Wind Spoilers!
So we all agree Podlight sucks right? We ALL agree about that? He literally told Frostpaw that basically it was her fault for being manipulated by Curlfeather (her mother). Wtf dude. Professional Victim blamer over here!! Professional asshole alert! Y'know in Thunder I was kinda hoping that Podlight DIDN'T suck ass and he was just manipulated by Splashtail. Nope. He's just straight up a terrible cat. That's great! I love terrible cats I want more of them!
Dear Erin Hunter,
Do not redeem Podlight or Berryheart. They don't deserve it. Oh also don't redeem Gorseclaw or Sneezecloud either.
