I remember being so frustrated by this pacifist race as a child, but re-reading it as an adult I can appreciate it more. Now I wish they had spent more time with their horror at unlocking their capacity for war, but this would have further frustrated child me so I can see why they didn't.

We get to learn about a new alien species and meet... The Android!
This was a fun one filled with a lot of interesting world building.

I always enjoy how serious Marco's POVs are in contrast to the jokester persona he puts on. He's a lot more insightful than he lets on, and it makes his books really enjoyable.

 The Solace: We meet yet another amazing character in this one. We also witness an intense battle, one our team almost lost, one that a character loses themselves to. This book is intense, with a heavier and more somber look into Marco's life and fear. 

The Dread: The recaps omg! 

Overall, this was a great story, filled with my favorite of the series, deeper and deeper dives into these characters' lives.

One of my favorite Animorphs books hands-down. Marco is my favorite character, and I find his relationship with Erek interesting. What happens to the both of them in this is deliciously messed up.
