animorphslj(I don't have the book with me to transcribe the back cover info)
The anti-morphing ray is still a threat and the group comes up with a plan to deal with it. Tobias will let himself get caught as an Andalite, and then demorph to hawk, making the yeerks think the ray is powerless. But the plan goes wrong when a controller girl named Taylor gets him and tortures him.
I love the aspect of Tobias getting in touch with his Andalite heritage despite not sharing actual DNA, and the utzum thing. Taylor will prove a interesting character between now and when we meet her again.
Was the plan thought out well enough? Things go wrong easily in any war plan, but I wonder if the torture could have been avoided or no.
Follow up: Not much. Should there have been more follow up on Tobias's effects from this. He's got to have some PTSD later on. I actually wrote a short R/T piece set after the end of the book but not sure what happened to it.
This is another book I can't bring myself to read again 'cause it's painful lol
hmm Prompt...pain and pleasure
You should all know the rules by now, I hope
Next week: The Prophecy
Oh and Visser is advertised for the first time in this book. So we're sure, it's Prophecy, Proposal, Vissser, right?
