Another amazing book.

    No way Visser One would have >!chosen a human host!<, very lazy writing. The long form books were really good though, don’t you think?

      Which part are you referencing?

      “No way Visser One would have >!chosen a human host!<, very lazy writing”

      I totally agree that the long form books are great, I read ellimist and the Andalite Chronicles probably close to 10 times each when they came out.

          Do you mean between

          Marco and his mom?

          I agree it’s a little contrived. It was introduced pretty early on in the series, book #5.

          That family connection is pretty unlikely, and there’s Tobias/elfangor/ax, too.

          I guess Rachel/Jake, but that’s a one of the first paragraphs, not really a reveal.

          I think that’s it?

            Spoiler tags didn’t work - yes, I was obliquely referring to that. I think that arc was completed in the book before this one.
