This book is very similar to Tawnypelt's Clan, another short story from the Warrior Cats series, in that it makes it seem as if the main character will stay with their new companions, and then does not.
I understand that they can't really have important things happen in short novellas that many Warrior Cats readers will not read, but it feels like a let down to not have Daisy stay with Smokey and his children. The setup for this book, with Daisy upset at the beginning after losing four of her five children, shows that her staying with Smokey on the farm would be a good idea, but then she just doesn't, which doesn't make a ton of sense from what we've learnt about her and what she wants.

I did enjoy how this book gave some much needed character development for Mousewhisker, Daisy's only remaining child, and shows the effect on Smokey after Daisy took his children away.
