SPOILERS are contained throughout this review so if you have not read the book or do not want it spoiled i suggest stopping at the space that says spoilers below after my initial review. That is all - Mod Blackbolt
The last words for Warrior Cats The Last Hope - "There will be three kin of your kin, with the power of the stars in their paws. They will find a fourth and the battle between Dark and Light will be won. A new leader will rise from the shadows of his death, and the clan will survive beyond the memories of his memories. This is how it has always been, and how it will always be"
So first off i will say that the Erins sort of left us on a bit of a cliffhanger (though everything did sound so final and dull until happiness at the end), and on top of that they lied to us when they confirmed a few "spoilers".
I did enjoy most of the book, but somehow seeing my favorite cats get hacked down turned me off of the book as a whole. Though i can say no-one can possibly hate Hollyleaf after her actions in the battle and i must say her standing has been raised really high in my book.
I did feel as if i was in the middle of a huge battle while reading the last pages of the book. Sort of like a great World War 2 battle but with cats, i truly felt a sense of panic as the cats began to falter but then quickly rebounded.
The Erins have done a thrilling job as always but i think Vicky took a bit to much joy in killing cats and was sad at some of the departures (though others i cheered on). Some notable deaths go as follows (as this is not the major spoiler part that will be at the bottom of the post i will censor the names )

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Overall i would rate the book 3.5/5 Cats, simply because i do not enjoy seeing my favorite cats die around me. But without their deaths it would surely be around a 4.0/4.5. Also something i forgot to mention, there was brief moment where Jayfeather and his stick where reunited. Unfortunately the stick was not seen again in the book and chances are it was lost forever (lol)
