Warriors: Omen of the Stars: Sign of the Moon

Warning: Spoilers!

            Warriors: Omen of the Stars: Sign of the Moon, by Erin Hunter, is amazing when it comes to irony.  Its unexpected events took its toll on most readers.

            I was one of those readers.  I can't believe that Half Moon was the first Stoneteller instead of Rock.  Jayfeather has to go to the mountains to answer Rock's plea.  He then finds out why Rock called him, to make the ancient cats become the Tribe of Rushing Water.  To do this Rock must pull Jayfeather into the past once again so he can choose Half Moon as Teller of the Pointed Stones.  While there, he is called Jay's Wing and is having trouble keeping the cats where they should be.  Three kits are born, and one of them resembles Lionblaze, who is back in Thunderclan keeping peace among his clan.  Dove's Wing, one of the ancient cats, is the counterpart of Dovewing.  She is in the mountains with Jayfeather.  The Three have existed before, and they exist now.

            Jayfeather is baffled when he finds out.  The present Stoneteller thinks that the Tribe of Endless Hunting has abandoned his Tribe.  He realizes too late that they haven't.  He only knows while he is dying.  Jayfeather must take on the role of naming the new Stoneteller, because he named the first.  He chose Crag as the new Stoneteller.  When leaving the mountains, the first Stoneteller, Half Moon, comes to see him.  She says that he chose well and will wait forever for him.
