No one ever thought it would come to this. Jake, Rachel, Tobias, Cassie, Marco, and Ax know that even if they could have warned people in the beginning, no one would have believed their story. A story about an invasion of parasitic aliens. So, for all this time, Jake, the other Animorphs, and Ax have secretly fought a desperate battle. Secretly held the Yeerks at bay.
But those days are over.
It's come down to the final battle between the Yeerks and Animorphs. And no one knows who will win, lose, or live...

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK
It's a good ending, it's fitting. It's quirky, everyone is in the most appropriate place. Cassie is where she needs to be. Everyone else is on a cliffhanger mission.
Ending it with the lull wouldn't have worked. I like how their reactions to the end make sense. I want this whole series to have had more of Tobias, I wish he and Ax had had their own slots in the series-long narrator rotation rather than sharing. The ship ruse is funny, sweet, and a bit tragic. I feel like they're real people who will keep going past the last page, however long that is.
I love these books. I'm sad they're over. I'll probably read Remnants or some of the author's more recent work …

If you haven't read these before, it's worth it, I promise you.
