Ax is an Andalite, an alien, stranded on a strange planet he's sworn to defend, even though it's not his own. Since the Animorphs rescued him, he's fought at their side, and in that time they've come to consider Ax a friend. But deep inside, Ax knows he isn't their friend. He can't ever be. Andalites must always hold themselves apart, even from their allies. As the Animorphs' past actions start resulting in deaths of innocent people, however, Ax's loyalty is called into question. Now he must decide whether to reveal the reason for his estrangement--the shameful secret of his people.… (altro)

Animorphs Read 2020 (March);

I really like that this series finally gave Ax his own book. I do find it a little unbelievable there are only like five or six words that are vastly different we get introduced to from the alien point-of-view, and I have issues with "I" point of view managing to hide anything of importance from the reader until it's being revealed to other characters. As that's not how either of those work. But it is a children's book, and it gets a small bit of a write off for that.

I loved the 'kindness' story/history, and I was sure it would be something like that. Where benevolence was answered with crude grasping power. It definitely makes me feel for the whole of their culture, and the prince's both vying with what to do with their world, who to believe, why and what risks they must take now to help and hope to stem the tide of even more worlds falling into slavery.

Wisely, Applegate gives readers a whole book from Ax's perspective after the reveal in 'Andalite's Gift' that there is something Ax is holding back from the other Animorphs.

This book relies heavily on comedy to balance out the dark revelations and history that Ax ultimately reveals. Ax is a young Andalite - roughly equivalent in years to the Animorphs - and his experience of human emotions and sensations (particularly 'taste') is played up for laughs.

It probably was funny when I was a kid, but I want them to get the heck on with the story and its really tough to wrap my head around the Yeerks not figuring out exactly who and what the Animorphs are. How many sightings have there been at the mall? Does Visser Three think its normal for Andalite Warriors to lose control of themselves at a mall? Also, when in human morph Ax notices that the girls are pretty, but not the boys, because that would be gross am I right?!

Points deducted for sheer Yeerk incompetence. The plus side is the window into Andalite society and history. They are not the utopian, wise warriors the Animorphs have been hoping to rescue them. There was also some increased insight into Yeerk society - a controller steps out of line and offers some assistance, for a price.

Ax is bound by tradition and his people's laws, but they are very far away and the Animorphs need his help. What are his options, really?
