Plot or Character Driven:
Plot
Strong character development:
Yes
these are definitely not great writing - the narrator changes every book and you can never really tell who it is through the narrative voice, so sometimes i get confused who's narrating and then bc its in first person go 'oh what jake wouldn't do that- oh we're rachel'
i love the descriptions of animal experiences in this one. rachel going complete PANIC in the shrew morph because they're such tiny skittish prey animals, and her having terrible nightmares about it that are so bad she throws up? and it turns out jake has similar nightmares from the time he morphed a lizard? its book TWO and they're already so traumatised. her grades are already slipping. canonically its been 1 week.
and then the cat POV was so fun to me, they're so arrogant and cool. my fav part was when visser was gonna kill rachel/cat but then she/it responded in a normal cat way and he was just like 'look at this arrogant little beast. its so tiny and so peak predator. i love it'. im a visser stan now
i also love the little rachel character moment when she decides to fight the yeerks - because we've already established that the animorphs know this is *very* serious and they could die, its good to see them get an actual reason to resist and fight. and it really humanises rachel and demonises the yeerks to see them take parents from children and the kids (like melissa) just don't know why.
ALSO cool to find out that hosts can resist the yeerks and the real chapman was still fighting for his daughter :pleading_face: it was really moving
who is the titular visitor??
