i have a lot of non-favorite wc arcs but imo the worst one has got to be TNP. 
i think nostalgia gives it favor in a lot of ppls eyes but i never read these books when i was a kid lmfao so here i go to the tags
#every major narrative flaw can be traced back to this arc#it either created long lasting problems#or exemplified them#all but one pov are boring and forgettable#one of them actively makes the story worse because the authors refuse to give him consequences for his objectively flawed and dangerous#behavior#brambleclaw.#they introduce the most appallingly racist trope checklist of a group#the tribe#the pacing is so stupidly bsd you can tell this was the first time they wrote an arc on the fly#considering there was only supposed to be one arc aka the first one#the travel plot happened too early#but im more forgiving of that because hindsight is a gift#the windclan rebellion gets brushed over even though the entire arc couldve rode off of it#the lake territory is so bland and forgettable#the only thing i can remember about it is the lake itself and an old twoleg nest where they grow herbs#TO THIS DAY#EVERY MAIN ARC STORY NOT INCLUDING DOTC TAKES PLACE HERE#THIS ARC IS ALMOST 20 YEARS OLD#most of the arc is walking#they shove a teenager/young adult into a love triangle#maybe square#with men twice her age#bramble ash and storm are at least a year and a half older than squilf#erins stop pairing these clearly teenage/preteen coded characters into relationships with older men#this is not the only time they do this#stop doing this oh my god#'cats r sexually mature at 6 months though'#the apprentices are clearly written to be children to young adult age#oh boy dont even get me started moving on
