![]() I FORGOT TO MENTION ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS. The secret behind the Iskoort, and the real reason for the Ellimist & Crayak staging their battle on this ground, is a deeply compelling one with hints of long-standing, future-set repercussions (long after the Animorphs' time).ĮDIT: OH MY GOD. The worldbuilding in this one is just so ceaselessly creative I loved every last piece of information about the Iskoort (their various guilds!!) and the Howlers. ![]() PLUS, they get to go on an adventure with Erek, and he is another one of my favourite minor characters <3333 ![]() ![]() The book also harkens back to Jake's nightmares and trauma from being been infested as a Controller, which is another great example of this series' continuity and not conveniently forgetting about past experiences that leave a lasting imprint on them. Any romp featuring the Ellimist is guaranteed to be pretty mind-boggling and thought-provoking and fascinating, and I love the creative ways KAA is able to bring them to new settings away from Earth, and this is the first time the Crayak is properly introduced and explained, a whole twenty books (!) after his first appearance. ![]() KAA temporarily interrupts what is going to become a streak of 5 more ghostwritten books in order to write The Attack, which is awesome awesome AWESOME and always lodged itself in my memory, because of a) the Howlers, which are some of the most amazing, frightening antagonistic aliens, and b) the Animorphs' crazy adventures off-world, on another alien planet, in a zany Dr Seuss setting. ![]()
