ok so i don't really have anything to say about this book because... look i'm super busy, the book is really long and pretty much all i remember about it is the time matrix shows up, whatshisface becomes a taxxon and it's a really fucking creepy (well done) scene, at one point loren's hair and nails grow really fast, chapman is there, and then at the end i think i got to cry about tobias again, some more which brought me joy... but i heart your comments on this, a lot. and it makes me want to actually reread the book which I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR OMG.
and also, this is really not relevant to this post and i'll have to remember to bring this up for the next time it's relevant... maybe THBC? but i'm taking a class on nazi cinema and just read this whole book about hitler and nazi germany and this:
And slave to the single most deranged, insane, reckless Yeerk in existence?
made me think that visser three is so much like hitler i kind of wonder if it was done on purpose. apologies if this is really old news and i'm just slow. but the next time we get to a point where it's like "ok visser 3 is just being a fucking dumbass here because applegate needs the animorphs to live" i'm totally gonna be like "dude hitler got to be like insanely powerful despite some pretty shocking levels of incompetence at things, this is maybe not as unbelievable as you'd think."
