Honestly The Third Arc Was Worst Arc. I Hate It Every Time I Reread It. The Group Of Apprentices (That

Honestly the third arc was worst arc. I hate it every time i reread it. The group of apprentices (That being the three, Berrynose and his siblings, and cinderpelt and her sisters) were a bit fun but their personalities were pretty boring and they would have like one or two good scenes with the three and then never do anything again. Like Poppyfrost. She was brought back to life by Jayfeather, but for the rest of the arc she just does standard background character stuff. Honeyfern is just Berrynose's love interest the whole arc, and Berrynose's siblings, Hazeltail and Mousewhisker don't do anything. I think Musewhisker flirts with a Riverclan cat but thats it. I can't think of a single thing that hazeltail did that was important. It was like three plots in a trench coat, Sol was there for a bit, Tigerstar trained Lionblaze, they went to the Mountains, but it didn't come together well. Also Lionblaze is the most basic character ever they should have made Tigerstar train Hollyleaf or even Jayfeather. Also the Leafpool being their mom thing came from out of no where. In the first book they kind of hint to her being their mom because they mention how she would always visit them in the nursery and she was really nice to Hollyleaf when she was training her to be a med cat, but she's just so uncharacteristically mean to Jayfeather. In the scene when cinderheart's leg is hurt leafpool says how she can't be a medicine cat again and Jayfeather points out that he's a medicine cat because he's disabled and questions why it would be so bad if she was medicine cat. And she just says, something like, You're blind you have to be a med cat and he is just so hurt by that. Also when the secret is revealed, crowfeather gets basically no punishment but Leafpool can't be a med cat anymore, like he broke the code too by being mates with her, he should be held accountable. But yeah all the parts about the third arc are Hollyleaf related.

(Edit) Also I forgot to say, controversial opinion, but Third arc Jayfeather sucks. He just complains about being blind and is super rude to Brightheart and longtail. Fourth arc jayfeather is my favorite jayfeather because he's not complaining all the time.
