![]() The eponymous resistance - humans recruited to their cause - were also so flat-out aggravating and ludicrous in their using Star Trek terms and being so hapless. ![]() The moment I realised that's where it was headed, I went "oh no", and ended up skimming most of the flashback chapters because I had no attachment to Fitzhenry as a protagonist - this far into the series, I'm here for the Animorphs, and I was more interested in the present-day story. Structure-wise, though, I'm just not a fan of the back-and-forthing between present-day & Jake's ancestor's memories. ![]() The Hork-Bajir as the freed slaves, desperate to fight for their own freedom (in the constant words of the Hork-Bajir themselves: live free or die). ![]() Visser Three as the legendary enemy general, even. The Yeerks as the relentlessly oncoming Confederate army. ![]() This is one of those instances where I can absolutely see what the author & premise were going for, and yet I'm not sure how I feel about the overall effect - 2.5 stars, maybe? I see the point of all the parallels, as Stephanie has beautifully pointed out: Jake as his Union soldier ancestor, a youth in over his head and trying to lead a small, hopeless force. Ghostwriter: Ellen Geroux again! And I'm glad it was, because I might have outright loathed this in someone else's hands. ![]()
