Eclipse starts out on the return journey from the mountains, where Jaypaw has told Lionpaw and Hollypaw about the prophecy. I still find it strange that Stormfur and Brook decide to stay behind-they were treated as dead when they arrived back with the tribe in Warriors: Power of Three #3: Outcast, and doesn't Stormfur want to meet his half-siblings?(Millie gives birth in this book, and it is the first litter Jaypaw delivers). When they return home, things are still tense with Windclan-pretty funny for me, because I started reading the books after this one was published and I can remember clearly how much help Windclan needed in the past, especially since I just reread Fire and Ice (Warriors, Book 2). A mysterious stranger named Sol appears, and predicts that "the sun will die". During a massive battle, the sun dies-the titular eclipse. While eclipses are rare even among Twolegs, I still find how the cats freaked out kind of lame-the sun came back! Also, I assume that this was a solar eclipse, so wouldn't the cats hurt their eyes if they looked directly at it? Due to Sol predicting the eclipse, a Clan leader makes a shocking annoucement that makes me wonder what's going to happen next. This book also wraps up the plotline involving Cinderpaw. There was one mistake in the book that I found that was mentioned by another review-"Tigerstar" is called "Firestar" in one of Lionpaw's dream sequences. All in all,I think it's the best of Power of Three so far, and among the best Warriors books in all. I can't wait until I have Warriors: Power of Three #5: Long Shadows in my hands!
