This doesn't make sense...

Lionblaze says "It happened before we were born" when talking to Cinderheart about Hollyleaf killing Ashfur. Page 191

When I read this in the book, it seemed more like he meant the thing between Squirrelflight, Ashfur, and Brambleclaw...like in Twilight/Sunset. Cinderblaze12 04:52, November 26, 2011 (UTC)

Review of Mistakes - Into the Wild

Since I don't agree that a number of things are real mistakes, I'm going to bring them up for discussion one by one here, and see what comes of it. I'm going to start with Into the Wild and go from there.

Lionheart is called Graypaw's apprentice.

I pulled this one already, because it wasn't cited. If someone couldn't bother to reference it properly, it shouldn't be on the list. If you find the reference, feel free to put it back in.

The Thunderpath is mistakenly called a road.

In my opinion this is arguably not an error. It's in the narration, and not associated with the thoughts of any character. Given that this is the first book, and readers are not yet to the point where the clan cat vernacular is second nature, couldn't this actually be intentional on the part of the writer?

Firepaw is called Rusty after receiving his apprentice name.

Why is this an error? The story has only just transitioned his name to Firepaw. Why shouldn't there be a bit of overlap in the two names to accustom the reader to the change? How is this verified as an error, and not something intentionally done by the author to ensure that everyone follows the name change smoothly?

Graypaw mentions that leaders only ever take the kits of deputies as apprentices. However, no leader before or after this point has been shown with a deputy's kit as an apprentice, and none of Bluestar's apprentices were the kits of her deputies.

How do we know this isn't Graypaw being mistaken, rather than the authors?

Tigerclaw is mentioned to have a "VEE" shape nick in his ear when it should have been "V".

Another uncited one. Cite it and you can put it back in.

Good points, but I think we should leave in what Graypaw said. He'd been born and raised in the Clan, wouldn't he know that what he said had no credence to it? No leader in the series has had a deputy's kit as an apprentice as far as I remember. Fact of the matter is, it seems leaders don't usually take apprentices at all.

But couldn't Graypaw's comment be rooted in insecurity? Making excuses for why Bluestar, who didn't have an apprentice, passed on training him? People say things that are wrong about the society they grew up in all the time. Couldn't it be like a kid claiming that "the teacher hates me" as an excuse for their own bad grades rather than considering it might be an issue of performance? We also have to consider another fact: How many deputies have had kits since the books started? I can't personally think of any in the "core" clans. Frostfur and Runningwind, at least, where prior to Bluestar becoming leader. And we simply don't have the information we need to prove this as an error that comes from the authors, rather than an error (or an excuse for being passed on) made by Graypaw.  Kitsufox  ^Den/_CoSC 21:35, December 3, 2011 (UTC)

The Cats of the Clans

Tawnypelt is suppose to be tortoiseshell and white

and Hollyleaf's eyes are blue

No, Tawnypelt is totishell and Hollyleaf has green eyes.

Dark River

On page 130 of Dark River, it says,

"She careered into Mousepaw, sending him tumbling down onto the pebbly shore." While it should have said "She careened into Mousepaw, sending him tumbling down onto the pebbly shore." Emberstarfireclan

Mosskit

I found the pages in Secrets of the Clans Mosskit is called a tom. pgs. 77 and 78. - Frogpath

Incorrect Grammer in The Darkest Hour

Near the bottom of page 237, shortly after Tigerstar's death, it says, "'I can't believe what I've just seen' the WindClan leader. ''Nine lives gone--just like that.'" It should say "...the WindClan leader s'aid," or "meowed" or "rasped." should I add that? Bluestar ^{Leaf flying in the wind} 16:29, March 19, 2012 (UTC)

Mosskit is first called a she-cat , then over and over called a tom. In secrets of the clans, it says Mosskit was a tom, but in Blustar's Prophecy, reported multiple times as a she-cat. Anyone confused?
