Description

Mapleshade’s Vengeance is probably one of my favorite Warriors books. I just love the plot line, and I thought that it was a good idea to have a backstory for one of the dark forest characters because you figure out why they are there in the first place. Honestly, I think Appledusk should be the one going to the dark forest because if he had loved Mapleshade, she would not have gone on her killing spree.

But her downfall all started with her kits.

Appledusk was a jerk yes, however the Dark Forest is only for the worst of the worst and I don't think cheating on your mates even count as a crime in the Warriors series. The code definitely says nothing against it. And I can understand why he didn't want to help Mapleshade, after making their kits swim in dangerous waters. If your husband/wife killed all your children through their recklessness, I'd doubt you'd ever want to see them again either. He also did sacrificed himself to save the pregnant Reedshine, when Mapleshade was trying to kill her.

I don't think being a minor factor in a Cat turning evil shouldn't be a reason to go to the Dark Forest. As at the end of the day, the cat's crimes are still their own, theirs alone. By that logic: Crowfeather, Pinestar and maybe even Squirrelflight, should go to the Dark Forest, for "causing" the downfall of Breezepelt, Tigerstar and Ashfur. Which I definitely don't agree with. That includes Mapleshade, who plays a major role in her downfall. She thinks herself as this innocent angel, refuses to take any reasonability and blames her own mistakes/crimes on other innocent cats. We only blinding side with her because it's from her biased point of view.
