The Solace: Our Animorphs are entering the final chapters. With new leaders taking the helm of the Yeerk invasion, actions are ramping up, and our Animorphs must make new decisions to help save their Earth. Ax - an Andelite but also a Human, battles with where his loyalties lie and push the boundaries of both relationships with his choices in this book. My heart sobs for our team's new challenges and responsibilities our leader Jake and Ax, take on.
The Dread: Although some serious events went down, it was basically a net zero. The scores are still tied, if you will. However, the decisions and actions taken have greatly impacted the relationships.
Overall, we are in the end game now. Three audible gasping moments left me wondering what this means for the series' future. I'm hurrying into the next one!

War has begun. Can the animorphs keep it isolated, or is it going to blow up out of their control?

The war is in full swing in this one. Visser Two finally makes an appearance; he's a bit underwhelming but also brutal and ruthless in a way that makes Visser Three look a little like a comical villain. The Andalites are arrogant as always, and decide that Earth is not a major concern, despite the fact that the top three Vissers were all there up until very recently. Jake issues an order that acquiring human morphs without permission were okay now, considering the circumstances, but Ax can see how all this is weighing on the Animorphs. He still feels like an outsider, or rather is trying to convince himself of it so he can carry the burden of making particular decisions. This ends with Ax making a very dark threat to stop Visser Two, one that he can't go back from, because deep down he knows he would've carried it out if he had to. I'm interested to see how this will alter team dynamics in the next few books, because despite their shock, there are some members who have come to terms with the actions they believe they must take.

It's nearly impossible to get bored every time Ax is in charge of telling the story, although it requires certain amounts of wits and talent to deploy a character who is out of this world and, in consequence, unfamiliar with some of our traits. In this book, Visser Three has turned into Visser One and is about to start open war on humans, leaving all subtleties behind. It's the first time I've seen Ax losing it with a human cause and actually embracing that right now, at least some of his identity has gained a human nuance. The end was a complete cliff-hanger and totally breath taking.
