pretty much nothing happened in #13. Tobias whined a lot, ran around some, died or whatever, who cares right?

13 was the one where they saved Jara Hamee and Ket Halpak, and got his morphing power back. You must be thinking of another book.

You're not being serious, are you? Okay the Free HB weren't as involved as they could have been, but Toby played a part in the final battle, and the Valley was used as a safe spot until that one Hork was captured.

Their valley, if nothing else, ended up being pretty important in the end-game, as it gave the Animorphs a place to hide when the yeerks discovered their identities.

you guys are crazy, that book did absolutely nothing to advance the storyline

but you know one that did? #28. Because not only are we introduced to the concept that Ax likes TV, but the effort by the Yeerks to control free will was a total failure in the first place! That one definitely changed the outcome of the war.

Not to mention it was also the book that gave Tobias back his morphing power. #13 was a VERY important book for the overall plot of the series.

One of the things that bothered me was the piece of bugfighter that made the father's leg infected. Was that really neseccar? I'd say not because you could take it out and it wouldn't change the plot. Just some tidbit to angst about.

It was more intertaining than other ghostwritten books.

I don't mind filler, as long as its good and interesting. Some filler episodes of TV shows are my favorite in those TV shows, and some filler in Animorphs is also among my favorites. I mean Book 6: The Capture is mostly just glorified filler, but damn, is it good filler.

Yeah, I guess, but 'introduce' wouldn't be the word I'd use, lol. More like slight wink. And then nothing comes from it until like, half the series later.

I would not say number 6 was a filler either.
The yeerk in Jake's head was Tom's previous yeerk and we get to know how Tom started to go to the sharing, how he became a controller, what was his feelings...

Jake is definitely upset by this as he can experience the feeling of Tom's despair and the yeerk gives him some of Tom's memories.

Surprised nobody has talked about 14 yet.

I don't mind books with limited connection to the story arch as long as the story within them is interesting.  Lots of these books deal with isolated and somewhat isolated missions that don't advance the overall picture much.

But book 14 was a 100 and some page long farce that built up to an alien toilet joke....
