Title: Animorphs #48
Post by: super_sonic on June 20, 2009, 03:22:01 PM
Out of all the Animorphs books in existence, I have never read #48 simply because I could never find it ANYWHERE. (The one in which on the cover, Rachel is "morphing" into sa version of herself that is reminiscent of Lady Deathstrike from X2: X-Men United, complete with retractable blades hidden in her fingers).


Where can I find this? Is this one of the rare Animorphs books?

I never heard of it being rare or anything. My personal opinion on the book is that you're not missing much, and it could have been much better done. But you can read the e-book version (and any of the other books) here: http://animorphsforum.com/ebooks/48/

It's a filler book, and not one of Rachel's best. She's shown as too one-dimensional. David comes back, but not much is done with him compared to what I thought would come from his return.

It's a very confusing book though, for about two and a half/thirds of it anyway, where she's experiencing psycho dreams. 

But the book shows some real depth in that last third act where everything about Rachel's character is sorta summed up in this breaking point, and she sees herself so clearly and is forced to make a decision that will define her true role as a warrior.  It was nice reading that part.

Agreed. Kind of disappointing. But for the very last few pages...
