Tomorrow we'll be starting Megamorphs #3: Elfangor's Secret! Remember, double-sized books are on the slot for double the time, so this one's going to go for two weeks instead of just one

But for now, let's talk about how Applegate used foreshadowing and continuity in this series, now that we've got a good (and a not so good) example of it thanks to our recent book

We don't see the Yeerk Peace Movement after this, or at least not for more than a blip or two in passing comment, which isn't all that great a record considering at least one of them knows exactly where to find an Animorph now. What happens if that Controller gets a new Yeerk?

But in saving Aftran, we clearly see how the morphing technology can be used to help creatures that have needs that aren't being met physiologically, which comes up again at the end with the Taxxons

Are there any particular instances of foreshadowing that you think were well done, hopefully very well done?

Or what points do you think could have been improved by adding a little more of it to the story?

(Obviously we're looking at this from hindsight and several years on, so we have a huge advantage over Applegate and the ghostwriters, but no story is perfect and analysis isn't the same as attacking)

We'll be back tomorrow to start our next book!

Shit, I love Megamorphs 3

Within books it's pretty good, but across the series she drops the ball a lot, yeah

Yeah like.... there are so many dropped plot threads I wish she'd used

TELL US ABOUT SOME :3
