Shockingly, this is the first in the series to end with ‘To be continued…’
Hard to review a book that’s incomplete, but there’s plenty of fun to be had here. Marco as a POV character manages to keep much of the intense, plot-focused material feeling very light and quippy. The first half borders on being a comedy of errors as mistakes and on-the-fly plans fall apart with exciting frequency. The overarching plot that the story builds to is certainly…ambitious to involve the literal President of the United States. But the melodramatic fallout of these events remains to be seen with the book’s unfortunate cliffhanger. Introducing Daniel certainly elevates the stakes, but unfortunately he is the epitome of angsty teen designed to drive an audience crazy, a character seemingly designed for the purpose of the Animorphs rehashing exposition. Daniel manages to be a horrendous addition to the group by yelling frantically, being slow to comprehend obvious information, and making poor decisions. Time will tell how he shakes out, but this book being largely focused on Daniel is its fatal flaw. The character aside, however, Daniel’s storyline is certainly shaking out to be one of the series’s more impactful tales.

Punto a favor: Marco es el narrador.
Punto en contra: El nuevo personaje, David, me cae mal.
EL LIBRO TERMINÓ CON UN CONTINUARA! Ya empiezo a leer el otro.
