Ich weiß ehrlich gesagt nicht, wie ich dieses Buch bewerten soll, da ich es aufgrund relativ kurzer Ausleihdauer (ohne Verlängerung) nicht lesen konnte.

It made me think of Warrior and it's compliment as I love that series. Well plotted and well done.
It's the second book in a serie and it's recommended to read the book in order.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher for this ARC, all opinions are mine

Storm, the next in line to be leader of the Clowder Cats, is struggling with cadet school. Feeling the need to always be the best, she struggles with her lack of skills and attention. When the Clowder becomes in trouble she must step up and protect all that she loves.

“Dark Clowder Cats” by Ruby Knight is a super cute story about cats. Cats, cats and more cats. It is adorable but was a little tedious and slow for some parts. It would be a good book for kids. All in all, it is a good read and I give it a 3 out of 5 stars.

Princess Fuzzypants here: There are some stories that you can pick up on the second or third book and never miss a beat. This is not one of them. Read the first book, which I loved, first. It will give you the background to enjoy this second one that focuses on the next generation of kits, especially Storm and Still, half brother and sister with a common mother. Their upbringings could not have been more different. They each approach the other with suspicion but discover a bond that may be the only hope for their two clowders to survive.

It will not be easy. Storm and Still will make many mistakes, some of the violent and deadly, before they come to realize that for their kind to survive, all cats must respect each other and their clowders and work together for the safety and well being of all. The journey will be far and perilous for both. But in the course of it, they become very different kits to whom they were when they started. And Storm develops into the leader that is needed who will make her father very proud.

It is an exciting story and the reader gets swept along in this feline world in which humans play a small but destructive role. I am looking forward to the third instalment. Five purrs and two paws up.
