I didn't know either until I came here, and found out most of the second half of the series is ghostwritten. I think it started around book 20-25.

Yeah, I was relieved when 26 was confirmed KAA written.

Yeah, I second that.

Wikipedia has a (presumably complete) list of the ghostwritten books; The first ghostwritten book was 25. From 25 until the series ended, the only regular series books written by KA were 26, 32, 53 and 54. Ghostwriters also did the Alternamorphs books (which is also kind of a relief, because those were awful)

I think 32 gets some flak from some of the fans, doesn't it? 26 may be the last book written by her that most of the fanbase likes, since I haven't heard many people say it's bad, and that's a sad thing. Not that I didn't enjoy some of the ghostwritten books, but that's 26 book books out of a 54 book series not counting the MM and alternamorph books. Possibly the chronicles too. Assuming my math is right.

Didn't KAA write all of the Chronicle books?

I forget. I really liked them all, except maybe Ellemist. Parts of Ellemist i liked, and it does explain some things, but it just didn't take me in as well as the others.

She wrote all the megamorphs and chronicles.
I go off topic on purpose.

Good, Yeah, The Ellimist Chronicles doesn't grab me either. I still haven't finished that book. ::)

You should try to work yourself through it, like I did with the weirder books and alternamorphs.

It's partly that, it's also partly that I'm not too big on reading. I have to be in a special mood to read.

The Ellimist was quite hard to read, and to understand ^^' (I read it in English, of course, it wasn't translated). I didn't get so much into it, even if I finished it.

Yeah, the visuals were very confusing and so off the wall. You had to do a LOT of imaginary image translating.

I never had trouble getting into Ellimist Chronicles, actually. It's one of my favourites, actually, but then again I like all the Chronicles books.

Same here. The chronicles books are probably some of my favorites in the series. I liked the Ellimist Chronicles, just not how the ending gave away that an Ani would die.

What does it mean to be free?
