So, show of hands, how many people thought this book was going to be about Visser Three when you first saw this title and cover? I know I sure did - considering there's an Andalite on the cover, I don't think anybody can be blamed for that

But no, it's instead about Edriss, Visser One. A character we don't know all that much about, but we certainly learn quite a lot about her right here

There's a nice tie-in to the Andalite Chronicles in the beginning, to align the order of events properly, and then we just jump straight into everything

Visser Three is also being unusually cunning in all of this, even bringing in fake "Andalite Bandits" to kill during the trial to promote his effectiveness to the Council of Thirteen

And that's only the framing story! How's everybody getting along? We'll be back on Friday to have a good, long discussion!
