I love your sig
What about the other David book, The Return? Comments?
Thankyou. =3
I'm gonna mostly agree with Terenia here... at first, I thought I was just being kind of slow, finding that book hard to follow. ^^() I mean, Cassie is there but she's not but she is. And the
how of David's return doesn't seem to be... doesn't seem to be properly fleshed out.
(What I wanted was for Crayak to give David his morphing power back and send him back in time to acquire his human self, just like Ellimist did with Tobias. Human!David wakes up to see rat!David, and after establishing that it's just a dream, rat!David warns his old human self that the Animorphs are going to try to kill him. Like Tobias mentioned when he got his human morph, he remembers the dream, which acts as the catalyst for David betraying the Animorphs in the first place.)
It's what I imagined when I first heard David was coming back, and darn it, I was disappointed. I mean, I didn't expect that exact scenario, but I expected something slightly more thoughtful than what we got...
I liked the ideas in the book... I like Rachel realizing that the other Animorphs use her to do the dirty work. I like her trying to control her darker side, trying to keep herself human. I like her choice at the end. What really, really bothers me is that, in the end, once more, we get the exact same feed that we've gotten with Rachel
every book since the Seperation- "I realized I'm an angry person, so I've been working on it. I'm better now. I don't enjoy it as much. Self-improvement. Making it all better." Everything in this book felt like a turning point, but we couldn't just rest on the fact that Rachel has
changed, and doesn't get to go back. We know she doesn't stop enjoying the fight. We know she doesn't stop doing the Animorphs' dirty work. We know she continues to be angry and difficult to deal with. But I guess when you've ended half a dozen books on the exact same line, it's a hard habit to break...?
