The Solace: Animorphs but make it a choose your own adventure. This was pretty entertaining. We take a re-do at three of the previous stories inside this book, with the reader as the animorph, choosing which morphs in the moment. I definitely chose not the right morphs for a bit of it, but when I got it right it was very rewarding to know I could hang with the crew. 

The Dread: The stories are a bit repetitive, some don't add too much to the stories we've already read. The structure was also not so great at the end, with the last two chapters being failed endings, which would be resolved with simple rearranging. The last chapter also was missing directionals for our adventure. and of course, this is inconsequential to the rest of the world. 

Overall, this was just a fun and new way to experience the animorph series, one I enjoyed being a part of.
