#45: This is EXACTLY what I've been waiting for-- the moment where everything starts to fall apart. Stakes are raised, secrets revealed, decisions made. Still, there was some time for good comic relief, the classic Animorphs antics. The only criticism was that it felt sort of rushed, but that's just the challenge of telling a story in such a limited amount of pages, and it was still developed excellently. Plus, this is now the beginning of the end, so it'll be great to see it all come together. (8/10)
#46: Amazing ethical debate, particularly shown through the four eyes of Ax as he encounters his own struggles. The last few Andalite interactions have been sketchy, but Ax's internal debate between the Andalite and human worlds was, finally, paid the proper attention. It's great to see his character arc, as he not only comes to love humanity and understand it, but become part of it. And at the same time... A traitor!!! In a sense. I suspected someone would become one, and of course it wasn't completely, but it was still awesome.This is where it REALLY starts, where the stakes are higher than ever, and it's a real, all out war. These final books are already surprising me at every turn in the most awesome ways. (10/10)
#47: Hmmm.... not so sure about this one chief. I really like the interpersonal conflict with Ax, and it connected well with the previous books in the acceleration of the end. It was an interesting, incredibly creative way to draw parallels betwreb Jake and his heroic ancestor, but it was just way weird. The jumps back to the Civil War subplot just felt jarringly out of place-- it could've been executed better and still had relevance or meaning. Instead, it was jumbled and disengaging. Ultimately meaningless. (7/10)
#48: Rachel books are always good, and this is no exception. Truthfully, the plot itself wasn't the greatest. The "Nightmare On Elm Street" trope can only go so far, and eventually, it gets entirely unbelievable, Space Satan or not. Crayak was also hastily resolved. And as far as the David arc, while I loved it, it was resolved in 22-- why mess with perfection? BUT. But. In terms of theme, absolutely amazing. This was a fantastic study of Rachel, and in my opinion, her defining moment. She did choose to be a good guy, but now it's impossible for her to reverse the things she's done or her bloodlust. This is an excellent setup for the finale. (8/10)
