bold move with the title, but they really pull it off this book.
this is a great final installment.
the entire book is good, but here’s a couple moments that stuck out.
spoilers
I forgot how it starts, with menderash willingly turning into a nothlit(mirroring tobias in the first book) so that he can pilot the Yeerk ship to take them to investigate the kelbrid space is so exciting!
I wonder how many mirrors of the first book there are that I didn’t notice since I was devouring the story.
the extended internal torment where Jake is reckoning with Rachel’s death and his responsibility as a war criminal who sends his friends to their death.
That Jake and Cassie don’t end up together.
but all the anamorphs are pretty much unfulfilled, carrying on Rachel’s legacy.
I can’t sing this book’s praises enough, it really is a solid ending with room to continue or conclude a limited run if they want to.
Thanks so much! I just realized I can copy your comment, quote it and add the tags myself, which i was going to do and then saw your amended comment.
Much appreciated.
What a great series. I recommend pretty much everything else they worked on together and apart. Their other series are considered less complete in terms of world-building, but Remnants and Everworld both have some very interesting ideas and characters and more than a few holy shit moments.
Gone is a Grant-only venture, and pretty great as well, a whole lot of well-written dark and crazy.
Animorphs is such a rich text despite being an easy enough read that I’ve gone back for a reread occasionally and invariably been shocked by plot points I’d forgotten, grown closer to certain characters or just enjoyed vicarious Cinnabons depending on how I’d developed since the last go-through that it’s worth a second look in the future at some point.
