yeah I hear you. For a book series that seems to acknowledge the universe as something not ruled over by destiny or higher law, there are an AWFUL lot of instances where destiny and higher law play a stronger part than free will.
and what makes that part so much more annoying is how it seems V3/Elfangor had never even met in book 1 (though I like reading the "how nice to finally meet you" line as a pun...m-e-a-t...idk)
I think that is kind of a problem with the books overall, because even though species like Hork-Bajir and Taxxons are developed into somewhat dimensional races and made complex, their deaths still matter so much less than a human or Andalite. It's never really brought up concretely on a consistent enough basis that when the Animorphs kill some controller, they're killing the host, too.
