Hello everyone and welcome to this special episode, the follow up to my very first video.

Now that the writing of the Power of Three half of Paws of Stars is behind me it's

time that I examine Omen of the Stars, my favorite arc but also one with a litany of

Now, I don't want anyone thinking that Omen of the Stars is just a continuation of the

These arcs are quite tightly joined in terms of their plots and casts, but they have very

Power of Three tried to do too many types of stories at once, and didn't go far enough

with any of them, resulting in a mangled mess of a plotline.

Omen of the Stars does have a story it wants to tell, and even consistently makes progress

But it has two main problems, completely distinct from those of Power of Three: a disconnect

between the characters and the conflict, and the details of the conflict itself being mangled

To illustrate this, rather than going through each book and explaining its progress towards

the goals of the arc, I will give a rundown of the main arc's conflict through each

book and then trace each character's main character's journey individually to see

The conflict of this arc is the Dark Forest building an army to launch an all-out attack

The Fourth Apprentice didn't go too deep into the conflict, something to be expected

However, it did have Breezepelt team up with Brokenstar to attack Jayfeather and Poppyfrost.

We learn that Breezepelt and Tigerheart are likely Dark Forest trainees, and that the

Dark Forest cats are able to come down into the physical world.

Fading Echoes is what really gets this plot running, since, through Ivypaw's perspective,

The prologue shows us how the Dark Forest manipulated Breezepelt with the relationship

and revelations established in Power of Three, and many chapters show the Dark Forest manipulating

Ivypaw based on her relationship with Dovepaw and her desire for attention.

In Night Whispers, we begin seeing group training among all the Dark Forest trainees, and that

the training of cats in the Dark Forest is far more widespread than the characters might

They go through rigorous battle training each night with some brand new Dark Forest cats

Their goal is revealed in the very end to be destroying the clans and Starclan.

How they plan to do that...other than just attacking with trainees on their side, is

unclear, but their strength and skill is growing.

Also in this book, the three protagonists find out Ivypaw is training with the Dark

Forest, she finds out that the Dark Forest is evil and trying to hurt the clans, and

agrees to spy on them for the Three instead.

Sign of the Moon, other than adding a few new trainees, does nothing to advance the

In The Forgotten Warrior, Ivypool becomes a...warrior in the Dark Forest?

We then arrive at The Last Hope, where the Dark Forest cats and trainees begin training

Then in the last few chapters, they attack every camp at once.

Only two of the trainees decided to fight on the Dark Forest's side but the battle

still led to the deaths of Hollyleaf, Mousefur, and Ferncloud among assumed others.

Spottedleaf is double-killed by Mapleshade, Tigerstar double-dies to Firestar who dies

to...a burning tree, and the rest of the Dark Forest cats flee without a leader.

This would explain why the progress on the conflict across the six books is so slow.

But what fills the rest of the pages then?

Well, did you notice that I didn't mention a single protagonist character other than

Jayfeather is determined to fulfill the prophecy, and he does this mainly by speaking to Starclan

and sometimes Rock about what they should do whenever he gets the chance.

Unfortunately neither of them are particularly good sources of information so he spends most

of his time checking in on or helping out his clanmates like Poppyfrost and Briarlight,

which each make very compelling stories but aren't all that related to the oncoming

Later in the arc he takes a couple detours to return to ancient-land to make Half Moon

the first Stoneteller and gets caught up in Flametail's death, which he is blamed for.

Flametail death at least ties into another plotline in this arc: Starclan being aggressive

They split up from each other, demand that the medicine cats stop speaking, and on Flametail's

side, refuse to clarify what happened at his death to stop the conflict in the clans before

When that finally concludes, Jayfeather decides to pursue yet another prophecy: that of the

He thinks of multiple cats it could be and thinks about how important it is to find them

But just before the battle, Bluestar just...tells him it's Firestar.

Then, other than forgiving Leafpool, he does absolutely nothing of consequence in the final

For the arc in general it felt like they were giving him menial tasks to keep him occupied

without having to involve him in the conflict, since his character wouldn't stand by and

Lionblaze meanwhile is fully capable of doing nothing.

He mentors Dovepaw, which has no effect on him.

He's still mad at Squirrelflight and Leafpool, something that is resolved in his head spontaneously

during a fight with Breezepelt in Night Whiskers, and spends 4 and a half books caught in a

will-they-won't-they romance with Cinderheart, which has some reveals about his power and

her Cinderpelt reincarnation sprinkled in for nonsensical drama to prolong their relationship's

The biggest thing he does is accidentally killing Russetfur in a battle with Shadowclan,

which he is sad about for half a book before it's forgotten forever.

When the final battle arrives, he does at least fight in it, in Shadowclan, but other

than killing one background Dark Forest cat, he doesn't do anything important.

On the topic of Dovewing, she is mostly a part of this plot because she is dragged into
