at the very least, this is the "it's always darkest just before the dawn" book
not that I think #45 is good
not that I think the whole denouement of the series is good, either
but at least real shit started happening again you know?
didn't they already do the "let's hijack the alien wreckage" thing? Like I understand there is only so much that can happen in this universe, but out and out RECYCLING PLOTS FROM PREVIOUS, BETTER BOOKS? whatever, off to a great start!
"Bet you're completely confused now?" 8 ugh, okay. This is book 44 in the series. I understand the point of chapter one recaps. Really, I do. And I suffer through them because I understand them.
But don't fucking patronize me you stupid fucking bitch. Don't act like what you're dealing with is *so beyond the understanding of the peons you deign to condescend to.* It's not. Psychic parasites, giant, bladed dinosaurs, flesh-eating gigantic centipedes. I get it.
SHUT UP CASSIE. Not even ghostwriter, any flaw in this book is going to be blamed on the character, not the writer, henceforth.
"They'd thaw out, never knowing time had elapsed, never knowing they'd been paralyzed and unconscious" 42 are you kidding me
like people on a 20-hr flight are doing anything except compulsively checking their watches?
this book is so fucking dumb.
also I love how it takes the Yeerks 14 hours to catch up with Cassie on a COMMERCIAL FLIGHT. IT TAKES THEM LIKE FOUR SECONDS TO GET FROM ONE SIDE OF THE PLANET TO ANOTHER, WHY DID IT TAKE SO FUCKING LONG TO FIND ONE COMMERCIAL FLIGHT UGHHHHHHHHHHH
so yeah, the backward native is totally okay with cassie not because they're intelligent enough to acknowledge crazy advanced technology, but because she's a figure from their religion. Only white people get to know what's really going on in this series.
no that's not true it was pretty diverse but I am SICK of the fact that the rainforest natives, the inuit kid, and the aboriginal kid are all as culturally aware as the european villagers in MM3. Come on. Seriously.
"I wanted to tell him the only things I'd given him were a broken radio antennae and exposure to an evil so absolute and terrifying that it had no place here in this untouched land" 102 Okay, so Cassie, who's given herself over to a Yeerk who later started a rebel group that disliked the political ideals of the Yeerk Empire, who freed said Yeerk and considered her a friend, thinks Yeerks are *absolutely evil*
