A review by ceruleanjen
The Conspiracy by K.A. Applegate

4.0

Similar to the last book, except this time it’s Jake who has to decide what to do with his Yeerk-infested brother when it becomes clear that he may kill their father to protect his identity.

Jake’s POV felt incredibly authentic from this difficult task and I liked seeing how the others, particularly Marco, reacted to the news. I thought Jake and Marco had some good friendship development as they go through similar issues with their family.

This one goes more into the aspects of the war that Jake and the other Animorphs are fighting and how it makes them feel. I liked how it was tied into how his great grandfather felt about his own battle.

I wasn’t expecting any of the twists and turns of this book. The ending was intense and unexpected. Although a part of me definitely wanted to see a certain thing happen, I’m crossing my fingers that it will eventually happen by the end.

I ended up liking this one a little more than Marco’s.
