she didnt want to rush the ending, she just wanted to make it 9 books lol theres nothing wrong with that, thats plenty of an ending imo and apparently in her opinion too
is that the opinion of everyone? clearly not, but i think its safe to assume she didnt walk up to michael one morning and be like hey hun, you know what i think we should do? lets just blow an animorphs ending out of our ass, just really screw over all our fans, sounds like fun dear, but do you mind if we kill rachel, i hate the witch
