That fouling himself line isn't the only thing, either. That destroyed our expectations about tone. And this line destroyed our expectations about character: <I'll tell you...Yes, I'll tell you! Ax...in the woods. Cassie. Jake. Marco. All just human kids. Anything...anything to make it end!...I'll tell you! No! I'll tell you!> 126
We couldn't even count on our goddamn heroes after this book.
And I know all you Tobachel fangirls will disagree with me and that's FINE, but I hate that he gives everyone but Rachel away. After all that awesome Tobias/Ax bromance CD in this book, Ax is the only one who actually gets an address attributed to him. Fuck you, Tobias, you stupid little punk.
That's my main stuff, I really don't want to inundate you guys with all my little quibbled for this book because on the grand scale...okay wait there's one:
"<You want me to open the hatch?> Taylor asked." 133
Dear Animorphs Editor,
If you ever want to completely throw your reader out of one of the most tonally important books in the series, please do it right during the climax of said book so they can't even focus on what's happening for a couple of paragraphs.
