While Reading This Volume, I Genuinely Teared Up. It Handles Cinderpaw’s Injury In Such A Clearer And

While reading this volume, I genuinely teared up. It handles Cinderpaw’s injury in such a clearer and more open way. She is strong and capable and her injury is not was forced her to be a medicine cat; its what introduced her to the role and led her to something she found more fulfilling.

I LOVE that kids are going to start reading this first and have this be their introduction to disability in warriors! It’s a much better lens to it in the world. Yes disability can make things harder, but it also releases new opportunities and paths that may not have been clear or even there before. <3

This all makes me excited to see Brightpaw’s story in the next volume. I’d love to see the two of them get to bond but that might be asking a bit much with how much the team has to cover.

Seriously, a big hand to the graphic novel team. This adaptation is one of the best graphic novel adaptations of anything I’ve seen so far. It’s fixing problems that come with an older story, condensing the plot while still maintaining the important and memorable parts of the original, and making small changes to the details that make it better for the different format. Well done and please keep up the amazing work.

thank fuck for this change to making it more explicitly cinderpelt's choice to be a medcat while also pointing out it wouldn't be impossible for her to be a warrior. it always was her choice, mind you, but a proper conversation between the two is appreciated.

really hoping that the tnp graphic novel team doesn't fumble this by keeping in that stupid crush retcon.
