Wow, most of what I was going to say has already been said. Cassie's whining did get on my nerves, but I think her arguments about "being as bad as the yeerks" is important and something that comes up again. It's especially important because it's easy in kids books to have consequence less violence, and I like that that isn't the case with Animorphs.
I also loved Aftran and the perspective we get from her in this book. It's one of the things I really like about Animorphs is that KAA never lets you get comfortable with the idea "yeerks are evil, must kill to save world." She makes sure there's ambiguity which I think makes it a much stronger and more realistic series.
