The juxtaposition of horror and comedy is obviously a pretty essential part of Animorphs but I really wanna give a special shout-out to the sequence of books that goes
19: Cassie is lost in the woods with a Yeerk she refuses to kill and risks everything they've worked for in the naive hope of forming a peace.
20-22: The Animorphs bring in a new recruit, only to trap him in the body of a rat and leave him on an uninhabited island after realizing he's too much of a liability to keep around.
Hork-Bajir Chronicles: The tragic story of how the peaceful and innocent Hork-Bajir were lost to the Yeerks due to the Andalites' arrogant indifference.
23: Tobias is finally offered the promise of a real family but has it yanked away when they discover it's all a ruse.
24: YEEEAHH, IT'S THE FUCCKIN HELMACRONS, BABIY!!! YOU WANT MORE SOUL-WRENCHING CHARACYER DEVELOPMENT? NAH, WE DOING "HONEY, WHO SHEUNK THE ANIMORPHS" IN THIS BIYCH!
