MoonKent Muses - Animorphs books #33 and #2

So, obviously I'm backtracking here, as the Animorphs Book Club is on book #39 this week, but I decided to revisit some of the early books because I thought of some fun counts I want to keep a tally of (more on them in a future post).

But given how far ahead the reread is, it actually works out because now I can post thoughts without spoilers!

So, in book #33, one of the interesting things about Jake is how well he knows how to use his team like tools by now. He KNOWS that the person who has to volunteer for the anti-morphing ray mission is Tobias, but because it will be dangerous, he doesn't want to out and out order Tobias to go; instead he just manipulates the conversation until Tobias volunteers on his own. It shows something of how callous Jake has had to become as the leader.

Thing is, there are actually hints of that all the way back in book #2, which I didn't realize until this last reread! When the team is deciding what to do next for spying on the Yeerks, Jake has already done the math and decided it makes the most sense to use Melissa. She's Chapman's daughter AND she already has connections with Rachel, which makes it easier to get close to her. He already knows how to use people strategically right back at the start! True, he's much more apologetic and uncomfortable with this skill at the time, but it's impressive to see how much of the groundwork for later character development is already present here.

Tobias, who had once had unruly blond hair and eyes that seemed hurt and tender and hopeful all at once. p. 19

I see. Tobias won Rachel over with his sad boy swag.

The first use of flea morph: Jake stowing away on Rachel so she doesn't have to go alone.

The last use of the flea morph: Rachel stowing away alone on Tom per Jake's orders.

Visser Three solving problems with cannibalism count: 2

#animorphs #animorphs book club #the visitor #2 #ani 2 #for the record: 1 was making his andalite host eat Elfangor #and 2 showing off how he morphed the vanarx to eat fellow yeerk iniss 174 when threatening iniss 226 #and there's more to come!

Chapman just sitting in absolute silence when he's not actively doing something like contacting Visser Three is eerie enough from Rachel's perspective but...

like, Yeerks probably get bored and fidget too. He's probably not just sitting in silence.

Iniss Two-Two-Six and the human Chapman are probably chatting.

#animorphs #animorphs book club #the visitor #2 #ani 2 #what do you think a voluntary host and yeerk duo chat about?#like a captured human would probably be taunted by the yeerk most of the time like we'll see in an upcoming book #but how do Iniss Two-Two-Six and Chapman spend their downtime?#they probably complain about their boss. neither of them like V3

"It was a dark and stormy night. Sorry, I've always wanted to write that. But it really was a dark and stormy night."

Rachel is a dork. I love her.
