We did it joe. Reading all of the animorphs books was not something ever on my bingo card but going through them this year has honestly changed me somehow. I underestimated how invested I would become in this series but I truly felt for the characters in this finale and I would legitimately recommend these books to anyone. Dont discount children's literature!! They deserve to have good stories too. And while I have my gripes with some of these books I think overall the plot was interesting, the characters were fleshed out, the trauma was real, and the story had something new to say about the world or at least it did for the time it was published. Thank you K A Applegate for your service.
