The Warriors series is incredibly long, with each book published in a relatively short span of time. As a result, mistakes often appear in the novels, the images, and in the official website devoted to the series. For brevity, these articles do not contain grammatical or spelling errors. This article documents many of these mistakes in the A Starless Clan arc.
Frostpaw is said to have a brown-and-white pelt.[2]
Despite Thornclaw being listed as an elder,[1] he is not shown with the other elders or having a nest with them,[3][4] and he is even included twice in groups said to be made of "senior warriors".[5][6]
Sunbeam remarks how the elders told stories in the evening, though there is only one elder in ShadowClan: Oakfur.[9] It is possible however, that she is referring to Ratscar as well, who was an elder when she joined the Clan.[10]
When Sunbeam asks Frostpaw if it took Sneezecloud long to find Reedwhisker, she forgets to mention Brackenpelt as well,[12] even though Brackenpelt was the one who did almost all the talking in the ShadowClan camp.[13]
At the beginning of chapter 7, Sunbeam thinks of how "Nightheart" and the others must be waiting for the ShadowClan cats,[21] but when she and Lightleap meet the patrol, it is stated that she did not know anything about Flamepaw's change of name.[22]
Bayshine tells Nightheart he is a descendant of Firestar,[26] speaking like he himself is not, but both of Bayshine's parents are related to Firestar,[27][28] and he is in fact a descendant of him through Sorrelstripe.[29][30]
When Frostpaw recalls Cloudstar was a leader, she mentions that she has never met a leader she had only heard about,[32] but in River she meets Leopardstar, who she remembers being only told stories about, making Leopardstar a leader she has only heard of.[33]
When Frostpaw and Mothwing arrive at RiverClan's camp at the end of chapter 19 it is dawn,[35] but at the start of chapter 21, which starts exactly after chapter 19, it is night.[36]
Sunbeam thinks about how Blazefire broke up with her,[44] but they were never mates in the first place, since he rejected her.[45][46]
It is said that Bramblestar and Squirrelflight would be going to the Moonpool in the evening of the same day that Sunbeam arrives in ThunderClan.[47][48] However, in Thunder, they do not start that journey until a day later.[49]
It is said that Nightheart "could remember how courageous and energetic Bramblestar had been before Ashfur had stolen his body",[49] when it was previously established that he was "too young to remember what the Clan leader had been like before".[52]
Poppyfrost gives Nightheart a mouse, but a few pages later it is said he ate a shrew.[49]
Frostpaw says that she went to WindClan because she suspected a RiverClan cat had tried to kill her.[54] However, she was attacked on her way to WindClan,[55] and the actual reason she went there is because she wanted to tell Whistlepaw about her vision of Reedwhisker being killed.[56]
It is said that Squirrelflight failed Nightheart twice at his warrior assessments,[58] but the first time it was actually Lilyheart who failed him.[60]
Ivypool is called "the ThunderClan deputy" before Bramblestar retires, so Squirrelflight is still the current deputy.[61]
Frostpaw thinks that she had never heard of meditation.[62] However, in Ivypool's Heart, Icewing indicates that the older RiverClan cats meditate.[63]
Frostpaw refers to a monster as a "van" despite having no way of knowing this and referring to it as a monster before and after this.[64]
Whistlepaw says she told every cat that Frostpaw had been taken by a fox,[68] but in Thunder, she claims a buzzard had killed her.[69]
Nightheart is visibly shocked when Sunbeam explains how Berryheart left ShadowClan at the beginning of the previous Gathering,[70] despite the fact that he had witnessed it from the outskirts.[71]
Mothwing claims to have remembered how Tigerstar ran RiverClan, when she had not been born yet.[72]
Brambleclaw is accidentally called Bramblestar.[73][74]
In chapter 6, the narration briefly switches to Nightheart's point of view instead of Sunbeam's.[75]
Squirrelstar confines Sunbeam to camp, but in the next scene Sunbeam is seen returning from a patrol.[76]
Frostpaw is excluded from the allegiances[80] despite being a ShadowClan refugee.[81]
Duskfur, Icewing, and Mothwing are listed as RiverClan members,[80] despite having left at the end of Wind.[82]
There is a timeline discrepancy between this book and Ivypool's Heart:
In Ivypool's Heart, Kestrelflight arrives in ThunderClan's camp to call an emergency medicine cat meeting to discuss Whistlepaw's vision the morning after Nightheart, Frostpaw and Sunbeam are sent to spy on RiverClan.[83] The next day, the leaders hold an emergency Gathering on the island to discuss the vision further.[84]
However, in Star, Sunbeam arrives in ShadowClan's camp to ask Tigerstar to help the RiverClan refugees the following morning after being sent to spy on RiverClan, but Tigerstar has already left for the emergency Gathering between the leaders, which should not take place until the next day.[81]
Sunbeam replaces Nightheart as the point-of-view twice.[85][86]
Frostpaw does not recognize Leopardstar[104][105] despite meeting her in River.[33]
Frostdawn thinks that she can teach Icewing how to meditate.[106] However, in Ivypool's Heart, Icewing knows how to meditate and does so to clear her mind, and she indicates that other older RiverClan cats know how to meditate as well.[63]
