Whoa, that episode was really intense. The complexity of your plot never fails to astound me; you manage to make all these alliances and enemities work, and then convey them clearly to the reader, which is not an easy task.

I especially like how you're dividing the rebels up. This isn't just a good guy versus bad guy war; that's never how a revolution is. Some of the poor cats don't even want to fight. Others are divided because they don't want the help of Beauty cats; see Shadowfang and the division between him and Amberfrost's crew. Though they're working together, there is obviously a fair share of resentment and mistrust on both sides.

Then there's all the backstories and complex family trees. Amberfrost's mother, who refuses to accept anything less than perfection on the side of the Beauty from her daughter, who pushes Amberfrost into all these deadly patrols, forcing her daughter to become the fighting machine she doesn't want to be. I still think that Amberfrost is making the right choice by remaining a spy; she has access to information the rebels really need. You can't run a revolution just on sheer strength in numbers (sorry Lionclaw). You need a better advantage, especially when dealing with smart cats like the Beauty. After all, the Beauty class stands to lose everything if the revolution continues; at least in their minds. That means they will do anything to subdue the uprising, treating them as cruelly as possible. It's a little ironic, because if the revolutionaries do win, they'll then establish a very harsh punishment for the Beauty cats, instead of establishing equality. Everyone wants justice, but after fighting a war, it's hard not to go for revenge instead.

But I'm getting ahead of myself. This was simply an amazing episode, and full of so much suspense. I'm so eager to see what happens with Appleleaf and Finchwing, and what they're going to learn about Brownhare's parents. Also curious to see why Whiteflicker hates that family so much.

I LOVE YOU FIREY. This is such a good show, your ability and talent never fail to floor me. <3
