I remember this book because as soon as you realize that Jake is gone, you’re like oh shit.

Wow! This book is really good, dealing with leadership and Marco’s criticisms and how poorly Rachel deals with the leadership she thought she wanted,

and then the absolutely batshit insane plan at the end that foreshadows Rachel’s final act.

I also never understood why the garatron looks so much like an andalite.

Are they just like hey isn’t evolution weird? This one thing looks like another thing but they’re not the same thing.

I don’t get why that was so important.

Also, I was so glad that Jake spoke with Rachel shortly at the end of the book. Perfect ending.
