This plot point felt almost sidelined was disappointing. Honestly, I would have preferred the illness to be a bigger plot point, perhaps even spreading to the other Clans in a few cats here and there. Fireheart, ThunderClan’s deputy, and Cinderpelt, the medicine cat apprentice, are the only cats who know of the sick ShadowClan cats who are recovering in ThunderClan territory. In this book, the overlying threat to the Clans is a sickness that has swept ShadowClan. Still, Rising Storm was a quick and entertaining read, despite focusing too much on Cloudpaw’s bratty behavior and Bluestar’s worsening condition. Rising Storm is book 4 of the original arc, and it’s definitely not as exciting as the previous three, what with Tigerclaw’s evil scheming and Tigerclaw himself not being very present in this book. So I’m gradually making my way through rereading all the Warriors books. Meanwhile the forest gets hotter and hotter … and everyone braces for the coming storm… That’s not the only problem facing the young warrior in these blazing summer months, as he struggles to handle sinister omens, an apprentice with a shocking secret, and a devastated Clan leader who is a shell of her former self. Fireheart’s traitorous enemy Tigerclaw has been vanquished and exiled from Thunder Clan - but Fireheart can’t shake the feeling that he’s lurking in the forest, waiting for his chance to strike.
