The Animorphs have met the Ellimist. He "helped" to save the kids when they were about to be eaten by a Taxxon. He "helped" to free two Hork-Bajir and restored Tobias's morphing ability. But, even though the Ellimist has enormous power, he is not all-powerful. He has an enemy. The Crayak.
So, the Crayak and the Ellimist decide that a battle will prove their ultimate power. But they don't intend to fight each other. The Ellimist will choose the Animorphs, Ax, and Erek, the Chee; the Crayak will choose his own army. But if the Animorphs lose they will be erased from the universe altogether. And there'll be no one left to fight the Yeerks...

The Animorphs are champions for the Ellimist in his epoch-spanning war with Crayak. Tensions rise due to Erek's pacifism; Jake experiences the nature of the Howlers. We learn about the Iskoort on a world far away and some assumptions are changed.
I like this book a lot. The setting is strange, the Iskoort are quirky and well-described. There's a lot of really cool worldbuilding in this place that it's almost impossible for the story to ever visit again, but I appreciate how much we get in this small slice. The description of the buildings is very evocative and whimsical, and the descriptions in general manage to convey confusion and hubbub without losing the narrative thread.
The introduction of and explanation of the Howlers is really interesting, in a good way. I have a lot of thoughts that will probably form a longer post later, I intend to compare and contrast …
