Damn this book was so much more affecting than I expected it to be. The backstories of the Howlers and the Iskhort were both so affecting and really makes you think of them so differently. I loved how the Iskhorts were so creepy and the Animorphs didn’t want to help them but did anyway.

I also love how Jake and Cassie have their first kiss in this book. It was really sweet and a much needed moment after such a dark period for Jake in this book. This is truly Animorphs at its best.

This is the first ghostwritten book and I can clearly see the improvement, not only the story is way better than last (where Applegate had lost their touch) but also gives alternatives for the Yeerks and Crayax unfolds as the macrocosmic counterpart.

I loved this book. The Iskoort home planet is a great set piece. The various Iskoort guilds were pretty great. I also loved Crayak, the series dipping its toes into cosmic Lovecraftian horror. Also, Jake and Cassie finally kiss!
