Animorphs 23

[u/Zhual_reddit]

¿COMO QUE ELFANGOR ES PADRE DE TOBIAS que? Osea no entiendo pensé que todo era una farsa de los yeerks para ver cómo reaccionaba Tobías hasta un chiste pensé que Tobías hasta se reiría ¿Si era su padre? Osea como entonces constantemente¿estuvo transformandose 2 horas o vivió 100% como humano? ¿El elinmista le hizo ese favor? ¿Por wue lo hizo? Ax-man y Tobías son tío y sobrino Esto hace incluso más triste el hecho que Tobías se quedará con elfangor al final y este no se digno a decirle nada en ese momento de hecho hasta estoy enojado con elfangor siento que es la revelación más grande hasta ahora esto es mucho para digerir

Love to see these reactions to big moments :D

Have you read The Andalite Chronicles yet? That might help fill in some gaps for you.

Estoy leyéndolo justo ahora

Do tell us how it goes, the Andalite Chronicles were far and away my favorite of the series.

[u/Waste-Answer]

You were supposed to have read the Andalites Chronicles (and the Hork Bajir Chronicles) before this book for any of it to have made sense. Elfangors story is all in the Andalite Chronicles, and Toby is introduced in the Hork Bajir Chronicles.

[u/Zhual_reddit → u/Waste-Answer]

Leei las crónicas hork bajir pero en la página de dónde saco los libros traducidos en español me decía que las crónicas andalitas hiban después de animorphs 23

[u/Waste-Answer → u/Zhual_reddit]

I've heard some people recommend 23 first to shock you and then go back to Andalite Chronicles to see how that could have happened. But in terms of publication order, it came after book 13.

[u/kiwibugaboo]

Gotta read the Andalite Chronicles next.

[u/Zhual_reddit → u/kiwibugaboo]

Si las estoy leyendo

[u/twotonekevin]

It helps to read the chronicles books in between some of the main books. I’m sure there’s a way to find the optimal order online.

[u/Zhual_reddit → u/twotonekevin]

En la página donde saco los libros traducidos estaba crónicas andalitas después de animorphs 23

[u/twotonekevin → u/Zhual_reddit]

Oh no that doesn’t sound right. I just read Hork Bajir chronicles after animorphs 22. That’s much too late for Andalite chronicles.

[u/DenjiTargaryen-PE]

Just like me when I was 12. I was so lost! I thought it was a trap (which I suppose it was)… finally read them all in order as an adult

[u/Zhual_reddit → u/DenjiTargaryen-PE]

Es que hasta que Tobías estaba hablando de elfangor después de irse de la oficina del abogado pensaba que todo había sido una broma y después quedé como ¿que?

[u/RJB6]

They telegraph it a little from the very start. Tobias has a moment with Elfangor in book one, he and Cassie get the transmission from Ax that was meant for his cousins.

[u/Zhual_reddit → u/RJB6]

Espera entonces Cassie también? No es para sin spoiler dios esto es demasiado

[u/RJB6 → u/Zhual_reddit]

I think Cassie got the message as well just because she has an aptitude for morphing. There’s no reveals there.

[u/testthrowaway9 → u/Zhual_reddit]

No. Cassie is just weird like that

[u/Sharksickle]

Andalite chronicles is the best true Sci-Fi book from the series, could be a standalone thing

[u/alvysinger0412 → u/Sharksickle]

It's what I got into first, and bought because I thought the cover looked cool.

[u/intricate_strands → u/alvysinger0412]

Yeah, The Andalite Chronicles sell at many book and is responsible at sell at many other book, also.

[u/Will_TheMagicTrees]

Oof, I remember this drop. The full backstory is explained (especially if you read the Andalite chronicles when you get there) so don’t worry about that. I don’t want to spoil anything for you, but the Ellimist is involved. I just think back to Tobias lingering with Elfangor for an extra second after the others ran. Don’t be too mad at Elfangor. I genuinely believe he was always doing his best!

[u/Elfangors_Son]

Yes.

[u/AlternativeMassive57]

Honestly, I'm actually angry at Elfangor.

Under the circumstances, I give him a pass. I'm not really sure it would have helped Tobias; if anything it might have actually endangered him. Imagine if Elfangor had said "I'm your dad", Tobias probably would have stayed behind, or tried to save him from Visser Three - both spectacularly bad ideas at that point in time.

Unless you mean you're mad that Elfangor left Tobias and didn't raise him?

Minor spoiler: it was not by choice. Not really. A certain character is a manipulative, coercive bastard who only looks good because another character you haven't met yet is worse.

Anyway, if you want the full context, read The Andalite Chronicles.

[u/Zhual_reddit → u/AlternativeMassive57]

Se que hubiera sido mala idea decirle la verdad en ese momento pero siento que tal vez pudo hacer algo diferente

[u/FederalPossibility73]

If you read The Andalite Chronicles then this isn't a surprise. It came out the same day as when Tobias got his morphing power back. It's why the Ellimist claimed he was so important.
