Oh, man. Visser One added so much to the series, I think. I appreciated that while Visser Three was this crazy-ass psycho side of the Yeerk invasion, Visser One was sooo much more of a politician. It made the Yeerk perspective so much more multifaceted--they weren't all out to kill us for the lulz, some were just doing their job. I mean, she had ambition, and she was certainly capable of being ruthless, but I don't think she was ever evil for the sake of crazy like V3. Visser One proved time and time again that she recognized that sometimes letting someone live could could actually work to her advantage. You know, until she went on trial as a traitor.
I felt the revelation with her having kids, and that being the reason she didn't want all-out war, was brilliant, especially considering that the Eva-Marco relationship always colored our perception of Visser One. In fact, all of Visser was brilliant. I do wish that we'd run into Madra and Darwin again, though. In my personal canon, Eva and Peter searched them out and adopted them after Marco disappeared.
Can you think of any incident involving Visser One where an Animorph other than Marco was narrating? I can't think of any. It would have been interesting to see an action scene with her from an outside perspective.
Jake says "We may prefer Visser Three to be in charge. He makes stupid mistakes. His people all hate and fear him, which makes people less effective. And, we know him. Know what to expect. Visser One might be a more dangerous enemy."
