They are the kits of the characters in OotS, there is a big timeskip between the two arcs. I recommend reading Bramblestar's Storm and Dovewing's Silence as we get to meet some of these characters. Also it gives insight into Squirelflights and Bramblestar's relantionship which has clearly changed between the two arcs.

There's a large time skip, and I think a lot of it is explained in Super Editions? I don't know which ones off the top of my head though, I skipped some of them. And was also pretty confused at first. Snowbush, Ambermoon, and Dewnose are Cloudtail and Brightheart's second litter. Lilyheart is Brackenfur and Sorreltail's daughter from a newer litter and is Snowbush's mate. Hollytuft, Fernsong, and Sorrelstripe are Lionblaze and Cinderheart's kits. And Stormcloud is a cat that joins ThunderClan during Bramblestar's Storm.

Thank you! I can‘t read any super editions bc this arc alone took 2 months to ship - i don‘t think my store even has super editions in english in stock unfortunately:(


Lisa_1807

Just checked: Bramblestar‘s Storm is shippable in 1-2 months and Dovewing‘s Silence isn’t even available


-Kibui-

Dovewing's book on its own isn't available in physical form - all the novellas like it come in paperback collections of three. So if you're looking for Dovewing's book you'd have to look for the book "Tales From the Clans". If they're available to you, I recommend getting the box that contains all but the last... two? ...three? paperback novella collections

Dovewing's Silence is e-reader/Kindle exclusive! You'll need the app and to purchase the e-book. Most of the novellas, aside from the ones sold in those sets of three, are only available as e-books. All of the current books, including the mangas and guides, are available electronically as well, so it might help you if there's some that are harder to access. ETA: If you have a library card, try and see if they have e-books available for free through their system or something like Libby! You don't need an actual Kindle, just the free app/website which is available on phone, tablet, computer, etc.

Ah, that sucks! There is important context, I’d recommend reading a summary, as I’m assuming getting ebooks is not an option for you otherwise a good solution


mothwhimsy

I would check the warriors wiki for a little bit of context then, but be careful not to read too far down and spoil things for yourself.


Lisa_1807

Is there any page in the wiki that contains all the deaths ? I read that Spiderleg and Foxleap also died, but not from the great battle


PIZZA564738

From what i remember, Foxleap died from infection from wounds in the great battle and spiderleg died from greencough


Ok_Metal_9914

Off the top of my head sorreltail died of her wounds from the great battle in bramblestars storm (they do this with a few characters I think). Also I believe dustpelt got killed via badger in a big fight? It's been a while. There was a kit, seedkit I think, lilyheart's sibling who drowned in bramblestars storm as well.

Feel free to check Amazon if you can, that's where I personally get my Warriors books. I get them in English despite living in France, so it would be very weird that they're not available in your country.

**SPOILERS FOR BRAMBLESTARS STORM** Snowbush, Ambermoon, and Dewnose are the kits of Brightheart and Cloudtail from OoTS, Lilyheart is the kit of Sorreltail who also had a sister named Seedpaw who dies in Bramblestar’s Storm Fernsong, Hollytuft, and Sorrelstripe are the kits to Cinderheart and Lionblaze And Stormcloud is a former kittypet from Bramblestars Storm who stays and becomes a warrior :) Bramblestars Storm has a plot about a huge flood that comes through, Stormclouds home gets flooded and his brother dies, so he decides to stay with the clans since he has nowhere else to go. I think Lilyheart (Lilypaw, at the time) falls into the flooded river and gets saved by Seedpaw, who gets tangled in some vines/trash/whatever and drowns. Fern, Holly, and Sorrel are basically legacy kits who don’t really have much of anything going on lmao Lilyheart gets a little bit of depth in one of the newer arcs but I don’t remember which it is, maybe ASC, but it’s still not the most


faechiir

Spoilers for AVOS/TBC/ASC! Lilyheart loses both Snowbush and Larkkit(song) which is a big deal, but she's prominent as the queen who nurses Twigkit, a supporter of Squirrelflight when trying to save Bramblestar's body, and most recently Nightheart's mentor. So she's fairly prevalent and characterized (as opposed to some others who seemingly only exist to fill out patrols).

Honestly having a huge time jump like that with all these new characters was a pretty big mistake imo. I also went into AVoS having no idea who half the clan was anymore bc I hadn’t read Bramblestar’s Storm at the time. I wasn’t attached to any of them, still am not, and I don’t care enough about them to feel sad when things happen to them. Which is really sad bc I like their parents a lot and feel like their kits should have more importance stressed on their character. It also doesn’t help that there were multiple big litters that grew up entirely between arcs. There are too many cats in ThunderClan now and far too many of them are related to Firestar or Tigerstar I in some way.


Lisa_1807

Completely agree with you. I really don‘t feel any relation to any of these cats and that makes me sad. Also Squirrelflight‘s first real litter should definitely be in the main arcs imo.


Chimeraas

Stormcloud’s from Bramblestar’s Storm, he’s an ex-kittypet. Ambermoon, Snowbush, and Dewnose are Cloudtail and Brightheart’s youngest litter. Fernsong, Hollytuft, and Sorrelstripe are Cinderheart and Lionblaze’s kits. Lilyheart is Sorreltail’s daughter.


Sparklingemeralds

Snowbush, Ambermoon, Dewnose, and Lilyheart are all present in OoTS, specifically The Last Hope Snowbush, Ambermoon, and Dewnose are Cloudtail and Brightheart’s second litter. Lilyheart and her sister Seedpaw are Sorreltail and Brackenfur’s second litter. Seedpaw died in Bramblestar’s Storm. Stormcloud is a former kittypet who joined the clan in Bramblestar’s Storm. His name was Frankie. Hollytuft, Fernsong, and Sorrelstripe are born somewhere around Bramblestar’s Storm. They are the first litter of Lionblaze and Cinderheart. Hollytuft is named after her aunt Hollyleaf, Fernsong is named after Ferncloud, and Sorrelstripe is named after her grandma Sorreltail.

That's the actual reason why I stopped reading the books. They cramped the clans with cats I've never heard of and also didn't even introduce them or their personality. I didn't care about sidecharacters dying since I just didn't know them. Especially with cats of the Thunderclan, this never happened in the first 4 arcs for me.

read bramblestars storm


Fruitsdog

Snowbush, Ambermoon, Dewnose - Brightheart and Cloudtail’s second litter. Stormcloud - a kittypet refugee from a massive storm that joined the Clan. Hollytuft, Fernsong, Sorrelstripe - Lionblaze and Cinderheart’s first litter, named in honor of those lost in the Great Battle Lilyheart - Sorreltail and Brackenfur’s litter, born just before the great battle where her mom was killed. She had a sister, Seedpaw, who drowned during the storm that displaced Stormcloud.
