Simple Animorphs Questions: Ask questions with one possible answer here!

[guitarhero01234]

In my mind, the first half of the book was excellent. After the time skip, though, everything seemed really rushed and the end came right out of nowhere.
Also, don't forget, this is supposed to be for questions with only one possible answer.

[YeerkSalad]

Oops. Derp.

Yeah, I can't say the time skips were a great idea. The random ending, despite being so unexpected, was epic. My biggest problem with the ending was[spoiler]Ax's fate being left unknown.[/spoiler]

[Dylan]

I actually kind of like 54. I feel like is was an unique way to close the series.

[YeerkSalad]

Yeah. Unique is a good way to describe it.

[Dylan]

It's the only series (for kids and teens) I can really think of that doesn't have a happy ending. And I kind of admire that.

[YeerkSalad]

Cover that up with a spoiler tag. If I hadn't finished the series and read that, I'd have eaten you.
But yeah, I agree.

EDIT: You might want to put a spoiler tag in your signature, too. Such an emotional scene, even when the parties involved are not mentioned, probably shouldn't be divulged to a new reader.

[Dylan]

I didn't put one because my post was pretty ambiguous on what the ending specifically is. Also, I cut out the names in my sig.

[YeerkSalad]

But now the readers can cut out a large percentage of potential endings! Now they know that [spoiler]the characters won't end up okay.[/spoiler] Now they know that [spoiler]the ending's a little bitter.[/spoiler] Yes, it's ambiguous, but it sparks a number of assumptions!

Additionally, it doesn't matter if you don't give the parties involved. It won't come as much of a shock. I might have cried reading that in [spoiler]The Ellimist Chronicles/The Beginning[/spoiler] had I not heard it a million times. Ever seen the trope "Viewers Are Morons?" Unfortunately, they aren't. Don't underestimate the power of guessing.

On another note, [spoiler]what happened to the Yeerks after The War? I know what happened to the ones invading Earth, but what about the rest of them on distant planets? Is the Pool Ship the main Yeerk ship? I thought it was one of many.[/spoiler]

[Dylan]

What I think happened [spoiler]Was that they did what Aftran did. They became other animals/humans/other aliens and lived out their life. [/spoiler]

[YeerkSalad]

I hope so. But is there any official evidence on what happened?

[Dylan]

Unfortunately no .


Why did they stop the reprints?

[YeerkSalad]

They weren't selling very well. It wasn't worth the effort.

[Dylan]

Aw. I really want to see the covers of 26, 15, 32, 33, and 43 in that new cover style.

[YeerkSalad]

I was browsing Hirac Delest and was reading this article. At one point, it said,
Michael's going to be using the pseudonym "Michael Grant."
Pseudonym?
What pseudonym?
What's Michael's real last name?

[Dylan]

Well, that before he wrote gone. He was probably just going under KA's name.
