Oh.

My.

God.

This episode was so intense and so incredibly written. Where do I even start?

First of all, I love love love your decision to have the 'mentors' tell the apprentices these heartrending stories of all the cats who have tried and failed to usurp the Beauty System. I wonder if we'll see the echoes of these doomed legacies in Amberpaw or her friends' lives.

Each story was so well-planned and showed exactly how cruel and repressive the regime here is. It shows how limited the cats are, even those considered beautiful, and the reign of fear present that's so classic of tyrannical leaders.

I really liked Shadowpelt's story for some reason. It was so sad and heartbreakingly twisted--especially how she died at the hands of the poor she tried to save. I thought that was beautiful, how tragically you ended her tale.

You are seriously an amazing writer. I love what you did with this episode and where you took it, especially the effect it had on Amberpaw, hearing all the terrible acts that Beauty cats consider "victories" and punishment for "crimes". She's slowly being pushed farther and farther towards outright opposition to the regime.

AWESOME JOB. <3
