The first one (Erin mistake)
From the browse inside we see that Rainflower had the kits (what's with all the mom's with the name flower who's kits become leaders? Moonflower (Bluestar) Goldenflower (Brambleclaw) and now Rainflower (Crookedstar))
as to crookedkit being cast out because of his disfigurement... not all parents would love them more. Some cultures would shun disfigured people... just really depends on the parent.

Rainflower did die. She hit her head on a rock, like Graypool!

Biggest Surprise: Mudfur is Leopardstar's father (didn't see that one coming). So apparently medicine cats can have kits... just as long as it's before they take the name of 'medicine cat'
Biggest disappointment: Again, they rush the ending. I wanted MORE. Erin was just getting to the good part and then stopped the book. Gah! Seeing him to the end of his life would've made a more rewarding ending, but all I get is a short little comic to take me there...
Interesting Observation: Riverclan has a lot of kits, but they also lose a lot. A few she-cats died in the kitting (Riverclan is still the only clan where a she-cat has died while kitting)
Mapleshade: Still not seeing what makes Tigerstar and Brokenstar scared of her.
A Goof: Riverclan doesn't climb trees. Oakheart said that to Bluefur in her book

facts 1. Crookedstar knows that Thistleclaw is training in the Dark Forest 2. Thistleclaw was killed taking on a Riverclan patrol by himself.
...anyone else think that Crookedstar took him out? Or told Oakheart that Thisteclaw was trying to destroy Bluestar and he killed Thistleclaw? Just a thought.

Plus, there's a lot of new ending words for the cats. Like BrightSKY and SunFISH.
Goof: In a dangerous Path, Leopardstar says that Crookedstar had greencough and he died. But, in the manga at the end, he just lies down and dies.
Observation: Like Mooncloud said, Riverclan has a problem with their birthing system. So many she - cats have died giving birth to their kits.
Biggest Disappointment: Just like in Bluestar's Prophecy, we don't get to see much of their life after they receive their nine lives from Starclan. I would like to see how they lose their lives. But I understand you can't fir that in a book. The book was big enough.
Mapleshade: Learning about her history was very interesting. How she was born in Thunderclan, mated with a Riverclan cat and had kits, kicked out of Thunderclan, etc....
Surprise: 2 things actually. First, Mudfur was a warrior before and he even had kits, one who grew up to be a Clan Leader. Secondly, During Crookedstar's Leader ceremony, I noticed that half of his lives were given by some random cat like Mossleaf and Lightningpaw.

Yea it was a bit weird to have random cats give the lives. Enough cats in the book died along the way for those he knew to give a life. oh well.

I am gonna buy Crookedstar's promise.
Goof in Bluestar's prophecy: Erins say BlueFUR is ready for her first night as an APPRENTICE? But she just became a Warrior o.o
