Mulling Over Morphs #50 - The Ultimate
Maybe the least relevant title to content?
or maybe the title is lost in context since every character is the most unlike they have ever been in the series and this book is all about coming to terms and impressing upon the naive that the only choices left to make in war are terrible choices.
Holy shit, finished this one earlier today and I did not expect it to escalate that significantly. I figured they might recruit a second team, not quadruple their numbers and then that last brawl at the school for the blind was both awesome and kind of terrifying to actually imagine, really drives home how potent any sizeable force with good battle morphs can be, the sheer mayhem of that much going on at once was incredible. Kind of reminds me of the scene in LotR RotK when the gondorians are getting ready to defend the gates and then its trolls that come through, but this time it was the good guys busting it down.
yea it's absolutely crazy! These concluding books, even though I had read through the whole thing before, shocked me on the last reread all over again.
you're right about the expansion of the size of their forces completely changing the game, I think it's really interesting how the authors name and count every single individual added to the animorphs, it's a good way to make you keep in mind that even though there are more kids, every single one is a person individually deciding to go to actual war and take real risks.
