This book seems to be a lot worse than I remember it. I don't remember the pacing problems, but it's been a couple years since I've read it, so I'll probably notice once I get around to re-reading it. The governor not having a name has always annoyed me, though. I feel that the book's focus on comedy wouldn't have been so much of a problem if it came a little earlier in the final arc and if other books (notably #48) were more integral to the plot. But being less than 5 books until the finale, it's pretty inexcusable.
Also, it just hit me how close you are to the end. Only 3 more books, damn. I've been a loyal watcher since late 2011 (4 years? Holy ****), and it's gonna be kinda empty without having any new OABG videos after this year. Obviously, I'm gonna stay subscribed and watch all of your stuff, but the Animorphs stuff has sort of been the flagship of the whole Poparena brand, so to speak. Kind of saddens me, especially since I've been able to work with you on the Animorphs Abridged finale, but I'm definitely looking forward to the last few reviews!
