I enjoyed getting into Cassie's head. Also, the whales were amaaaaaaaaazing. I'm finding that I do have an advantage reading these as a 40-year-old, which is that I get all the pop culture references.

This was another quick read that kept me on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. I love seeing their confidence start shining through.
Spring 2020 (Animorphs Read 2020);
This time we head into our girl Cassie, who I already dubbed the heart and soul of this group with her heart and soul so big in who she is, how she makes decisions, and how she shores up/softens down everyone else. She's always been our peacemaker so it was lovely to get to be inside her head. I loved seeing her world, how much she loves things, how much she cares about people.
On my continual and constant Rachel-Read of the Animorphs, I love Jake & Cassie's eye-rolling affection for her massive stunts (looking at you, Rachel-Diving-Off-The-Railing) about how she's fearless and headstrong and they love her so much for it.
I think my only real disappointment with this book was that the last-second *"I never told you."/"Yeah, me, too."* between Jake and Cassie about their feelings in this book was almost exactly the same situation and basic wording/exchange that Tobias and Rachel had in a similar situation in the last book. I know these are the early setup couples, but I like a little more differentiation in how people portray and emote. Not just the same 'hey, I never told you' and 'I already know' responses from different people, different couples. I hope to see them grow into being very different in these things, too.
