Couldn't resist drawing baby Shrew with his mom

This my Clangen year 1 speed paint challenge I base the challenge around this new book

Clouded Moon Shifting Roots

In the video it's clear that everyone knew about her vision so tornleg would too and still started a family with her, this is BOTH of their faults not just hers. And he's not supposed to be in the wrong for his stupidity. Blaming just the mom is such an icky move and makes me wonder why can't there just be a cat book without weird double standards.

I was watching the drawing a blank Oak Colony video and I've gotta say Frondsway's situation really pisses me off. Cause like everyone is only blaming her for Tornleg ending up disabled cause she had a baby and couldn't care for him. But last I checked it takes 2 people to make a baby, Tornleg is also responsible for what happened to him. Like he impregnated her, they're both responsible in this situation but only Frondsway gets punished?! Why does she have to step down from the position of Herbalist for not listening to the spirits when Tornleg doesn't have to step down from the position of mentor for also not listening to the spirits?!

Oh and then Tornleg wants to act like a victim and stop being mates with talking about some "you betrayed me🥺" bullshit. YOU impregnated her lil bro. She didn't just grow a baby by herself. He pisses me off so much. Also like he won't even go talk to her about what happened like dude your son is an adult and has children of his own now, grow the fuck up.

I couldn't agree more, it's just worse warrior cats and the average person is not going to enjoy

Mini review of Clouded moon

I was curious about the story, but I just can’t find the right words to explain it.

The writing felt dull, relying too much on telling rather than showing. For example, the explanation of the character’s tragic backstory lacked depth—it was just handed to the reader instead of being woven into the narrative.

I also couldn’t connect with most of the relationships, like Wildfur and Spottedshadow. They constantly talk about how much they love each other, yet their bond never truly comes to life on the page.

As for the deaths, they were painfully predictable. Instead of feeling sad, I was just frustrated—it all felt like forced emotional manipulation rather than natural storytelling.

Their world is barely explained. Sure, it’s like Warriors but with different names, but if I knew nothing about Warriors, I wouldn’t feel invested in the story.

I shouldn’t have to pay for your Patreon just to understand the story you’re trying to sell me.

Tenelle, I love your artwork, but writing novels just isn’t your strong suit.

Avalon, seriously, man—why didn’t you say anything about the prose?

5.5/10
