Number 2 had, in my opinion, the best feature of all the morphing done across the entire series, one that I wanted to see much more of and instead got little bits here and there: the character having an apparent dialouge with the morph's instincts. Most other books only featured a discription of what the morph felt in a given situation, I hoped to see more of the dialouge (and thus the difference between how different characters talked to the same acquired morph), especially whenever anybody morphed another human, or when Tobias morphed an andalite. The taxxons as a species got a huge credit when Tobias realized they were just insecure about where their next meal would come from, but that scene would have been much more impactful if it went the same way Rachel focused her cat morph on following Chapman, with the morph seeming to ask important questions on its own.
The most ridiculous thing about Number 17 was in the opening set-piece when 6 birds grab a falling man and carry/glide him to the water so he doesn't die. Co-ordination, planning, practice, intetional orchestration, nothing could have gotten that to work, much less improvisation.
