 The Solace: Marco is hilarious, and this story had the funny. On the other hand, it also was incredibly sad. Marco hides his pain behind his humor, which is extremely real and relatable, not to mention the crazy reveal in the end, which further deepens Marco's story and motivations. 

The Dread: The pacing is a bit of a whirlwind - the beginning focuses on Marco and our new character Ax, but the ending drastically ramps into action and the big reveal. Light and heavy - very Marco; I just wish it was more balanced

Overall, another great Animorph story, one I'm anxious to see how it all unfolds.
