The Beginning by K.A. Applegate
4.0
So this is at last. I had real fun over the last two years reading and discovering how sentient creatures from other planets and galaxies start fighting for the control of the universe in a wondrous chess board whose threads are moved by macrocosmic entities of space and time. Now, I hate the parenthesis made between the final part of the main arc and the kind of beginning in the side story because it's basically struggling things among the remaining Animorphs and making a huge preamble just to discover another line of action that will be followed. Scenario weakens by the fact that everything is well-taken on Earth, with just some eco-terrorists not being appreciative enough to the multi-species and races population. However, the characters sink just right, because it is not about how is the point of the story to finish but the circumstances and characters that led the story to such conclusion that really matters.
This series come along with a lot of lessons and valuable moral teaching for youngster to understand and balance where they are reading, though it is not the author's main concern. At the same time it provides a look to politics and social problems arisen whenever there is the question of power and control over the other by some totalitaritan race who pretends to slave the complece human kind. The question is solved with the triumph of democracy and laws who seek for equality, just let's not overlook the fact of whose and which morals are implied in this very american view of justice and crime fighting.
