It is a very simple mistake, a minor error, but it completely throws everything that happens in the series into doubt. Sandstorm's father is listed as Redtail. First, when Redtail dies in the first book, we don't see a reaction from Sandpaw AT ALL. Graypaw, when asked by Firepaw if they should sit vigil, says that only cats who are close to him should sit vigil. The obvious mistake is that Sandpaw does not sit vigil for her father, but another mistake is made too. Graystripe's mother is listed as Willowpelt, Redtail's sister. He does not sit vigil for his own kin. Redtail has another sister too. Spottedleaf. The cat Sandstorm is so jealous of is actually her aunt. Perhaps this can be explained by a family quarrel, as when Willowpelt dies in the beginning of Firestar's Quest, she receives no more grief from Graystripe than a normal, "my clanmate died reaction". He, again, does not sit vigil.
It is one more fact mentioned in Firestar's Quest destiny that completely destroys this book and future books to come. Birdflight's daughter, Spottedpelt is said to look almost identical to Spottedleaf. Spotted leaf has SkyClan blood, and so did Redtail and Willowpelt. This means that both Sandstorm and Graystripe are SkyClan, a pretty important fact that should come into play when Firestar travels with Sandstorm to revive the Clan she is an ancestor of. This may throw Firestar's Quest into question, but not really the rest of the series. Until you realize Gorseclaw is the ancestor of Tigerstar. Sandstorm's daughter, Squirrelflight carries Skyclan blood. Tigerstar's son, Bramblestar, carries that exact same blood. Bramblestar and Squirrelflight are related.
This could be passed off as, "too many generations to count", but Skywatcher says his, "Mother's mother was born into the clan". Skywatcher is third generation Skyclan. The last leader of SkyClan was Spiderstar, proceeding Cloudstar (Birdflight's mate). Spottedpelt and Gorseclaw were kits at the time SkyClan left the forest, and much younger than Spiderstar. Sandstorm and Tigerstar are separated by just four generations. A five generation difference may not matter too much, but Spottedleaf is the sister of Leopardfoot, Tigerstar's mother. Spottedleaf is Sandstorm's aunt, and Squirrelflight's great aunt. Spottedleaf is Tigerstar's aunt, and Bramblestars's great aunt. Squirrelflight and Brambleclaw are second cousins who share even more blood than normal second cousins do. Well done, Warriorcats.com, well done. This is why you don't use placeholder names.
An interesting thing to come out of this, however, is Stormfur. He and his sister are said to be "half-clan". This is not true. Already we know that they are ThunderClan and RiverClan, but now we know they are SkyClan too. What makes this even more interesting, however, is Stormfur's mother, Silverstream. Silverstream's parents are Crookedjaw and Willowbreeze. Willowbreeze is also half-clan, with her mother being Fallowtail, Riverclan, and Reedfeather, Windclan. Feathertail and Stormfur are ThunderClan, RiverClan, SkyClan and WindClan. Stormier stays with The Tribe of Rushing Water, and takes a mate, Brook. If they have kits, the kits will be ThunderClan, RiverClan, SkyClan and WindClan.
