YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *throws confetti in the air* Gorsefur and Brookfall... omg that moment was so perfect. It was so spontaneously perfect. <333333333333333

I guess I should put spoiler alert right here, because my whole comment will be filled with spoilers. Let me start with... eep! Stormflight and Snowflight are so perfect for each other. And Oak and Shadow. Just, they were... like... just... kagwueihumdbn. I swear Arti, all the couples in this just killed my heart. I was like melting all over my computer as I read this.

K. Done with my ramblings. The plot of this episode, was, like all War episodes, perfectly-timed, and perfectly-executed. Now when I say perfectly, I don't mean like a perfect book on a shelf. I think that compliment is far too beneath War. I mean it's like... a perfect story. With unexpected twists, and characters with personalities/histories/values so real they could be people - if they weren't cats... and if they wouldn't get arrested for doing all this stuff... :P

Now for one final rant. Earthstar has absolutely no backbone, the little- Okay, no. I won't go there. I do get why she did what she did, and honestly I do see where she's coming from. I think you do a really good job of making the WaterClan cats totally lovable, but also showing that this is a war, and FireClan isn't part of your classic "good guy, bad guy" set up.

The fact that I can rant so freely about these characters shows how real and amazing this world you've created is. It's a place you can envision, with people - cats actually, but that sounds weird - who seem like they could live next door. Not with their experiences in war, maybe, but their personalities. I mean, who knows? ... I literally spent five minutes right there coming up with people I know who are similar to these characters.

Just amazing. Like usual <3
