37: The pacing was a bit difficult to get into, but once I did, it was actually really appropriate to this book in particular. Rachel pushes the line more than ever, and it's faced paced and exciting, the exact action I always look for in a good Animorphs installment. It was insane, in an awesome way. Plus, the moments between action scenes, the inner-Animorphs conflicts, were really engaging. I'm anticipating that a lot of what is being established within the next few books is leading up to the series finale, and I'm excited to see that happen. (8.5/10)
38: Not gonna lie, for most of the book, I was not convinced. Even now, I'm not exactly sure how to articulate my feelings, or even determine which ones are dominant, because the book's quality was wildly variant. The dialogue was forced, the "tricks" and "twists" painfully obvious. But the commentary was deeply intriguing, and Ax absolutely came through in the end, which I always love to see. This might take a reread or just some more time to digest. However, mad props to Ax for shutting down his crush when he (finally) did. Its the genocide for me (7/10)
39: Exciting and tense right from the start. We're finally to a point in the series where things can get going right away, and it carried this all the way through really well. I was worried that it would be yet another "I encounter a semi-sentient being and then I feel bad" Cassie story, but it put a unique twist on it, while also staying true to her character's development. It also had just the right amount of existential horror and grossness that I look for in a good Animorphs novel. Definitely not for everyone! (7.5/10)
40: Okay, THIS is how we do Andalites-on-Earth plotlines. Two gay aliens living in their HGTV ranch was not the way I expected to go, but I'm down for it. Moreover, I did not expect a relevant, engaging conversation on disability and ableism, particularly in a 90s kid series, but again, I was more than pleasantly surprised. It was a great read and, while not totally relevant in the overall plot of the series, an excellent standalone. (8.5/10)
