Did anyone else like the Nartecs?
« on: July 13, 2008, 06:50:19 PM »
#6 The Mutation gets a lot of flack for some reason, but I really like it. The Nartecs were very interesting characters.

I enjoy it when Applegate introduces us to a new danger in a foreign setting to see the Animorphs escape from like the Cretaceous period and an alien planet filled with salespeople and now the lost city of Atlantis

This great evil - where's it come from?
How'd it steal into the world?
What seed, what root did it grow from?
Who's doing this?
Who's killing us, robbing us of life and light, mocking us with the sight of what we mighta known?
Does our ruin benefit the earth, aid the grass to grow and the sun to shine?  Is this darkness in you, too?  Have you passed through this night?

I don't like the nartecs but I don't hate them either.

I don't hate #36. I just don't get why they had to morph killer whale to get to the pemalite ship. don't giant squid dive deeper than killer whales?

I think they wanted killer whales to fight off the Yeerk ship they knew was looking for the Pamalite ship. I'm not sure, though.

I didn't mind the Nartecs. I did not mind reading through that book.

I thought the Nartecs weren't too bad. It was an interesting take on Atlantis, in any case.

wouldn't sperm whales or giant squid be better at fighting?

Yes. I haven't read that book in a very long time, and really don't know what their justification is for aquiring killer whales. Or why they all morphed one thing.

I liked them. They were a very sci-fi approach at Atlantis ^-^

they were great, I just wish they'd got back to them at the end.
Must of come up in one of Marco's books "btw, blue people live in the ocean," fit they to surface life, cure they, whatever

i hated the book because of the ghostwriter, she just completely missed jakes voice on that one, and it was already a risky venture because the plot was just not animorphs-like (not a deal breaker, but still) so add that to the fact that the feel of the book was already off and it just didnt work for me

Jake's character was rather one-dimensional, but many of the ghostwriters oversimplified the characters so I don't think that justifies hating the book.

It was obviously a filler book, but the plot wasn't too bad and the Atlantis idea was pretty cool.

My favorite part was when the Nartec Queen was telling them about their legend or whatever and Ax is telling Jake in thought-speak that they're really just mutants.

Yeah, I liked that part too. Their glorious evolution was really just mutation brought on my exposure to radiation.

it kinda reminded me of the fantastic four, they had alot of missions where they kind of stumble upon some isolated civilization in another galaxy and get taken prisoner and end up fighting their way out and chalking it up to some great mystery of the universe lol

yea alot of the ghostwriters were a little too one dimensional but something about this one just completely missed for me, i just could not get over how off it was reading it most recently, and someone important must have agreed with me because that was the only animorphs book that ghostwriter did
