Wow, this is an intense one. A look into how Cassie is dealing with everything, with perspectives we haven’t seen before. Wish they were more normal about blindness rhetoric but I see the point regardless.

The best Animorphs book. Cried on a train when I first read it. Animorphs is great when it leans into the "wacky fun adventure" aspects, AND it's great when it leans into the implications and ethics of being a child soldier, and this one does the latter superbly.

"It's over, Anakin! I have the moral high ground!" - Pretty much Cassie in this book
Let's see here. In 99% of cases, Cassie's choices in this book would either lead to -
A. Cassie's death by the cruel, cruel forces of nature.
B. Death by controller.
C. Capture and annihilation of all Animorphs and the last hope of mankind.
She makes them anyway because she's not willing to kill in self-defense, or even in defence of the entire human race. And she happens to get lucky and stumble upon the nicest, most honest and selfless yeerk in the entire galaxy. No. Just no.

I devoured this book. It was gripping. Its message was so powerful for a children's book. Until this book, we're led to believe that all Yeerks are evil. However, it is not as black and white as this, as it often is in war. The Yeerks are not inherently evil, and the book promotes a message of saving life and achieving peace where possible.
