The Solace: A must-read in the Animorphs series. The Andelite Chronicles falls just before book#13, The Change, if reading the series in release order (which I recommend for an added dimension of emotion and character development to the story). The Andelite Chronicles is a prequel and the telling of Elfangor's story. I sobbed at the end of this story, and it continues to weigh on my mind as I continue the series. Applegate also continues to do what she does best: add and develop complex and very real-feeling characters that stay with me years after putting down the books.
The Dread: I am genuinely pressed to think of anything wrong with this one. More - I just want more.
Overall, The Andelite Chronicles is on my reread list - to capture all the details and weight, to reset myself after I've read the entire series, and because it's just such a dang good story. This book is one of my favorites, and I recommend it to everyone - this series needs more love!
