Have you read...

These are the secrets I have kept. This is the trust I never betrayed. But he is dead now and has been for more than forty years, the one who gave me his trust, the one for whom I kept these secrets. The one who saved me . . . and the one who cursed me. So starts the diary of Will Henry, orphaned assistant to Dr. Pellinore Warthorpe, a man with a most unusual specialty: monstrumology, the study of monsters. In his time with the doctor, Will has met many a mysterious late-night visitor, and seen things he never imagined were real. But when a grave robber comes calling in the middle of the night with a gruesome find, he brings with him their most deadly case yet. A gothic tour de force that explores the darkest heart of man and monster and asks the question: When does man become the very thing he hunts?

heyyyy obscure book tag denizens, i have a question.

I'm attempting a re-read of the Monstrumology saga, but I was only ever able to find the first two in high school, and the second one...well, I read it long before I found out that the titular "cryptid" is an important folk figure that shouldn't be spoken of. now having this knowledge, I feel considerably weird at the idea of picking the book up again, but i don't remember a single page of the damn plot.

so here at last is the question: can I skip it? are there sparknotes of the relevant beats somewhere? please send help. an orphan boy and his fucked-up mentor is something that can be so personal. I GOTTA KNOW WHERE THINGS GO AFTER BOOK 1.

Have you ever read/watched The 5th Wave and if so what do you think of the similarities between in and Animorphs?

I've only read the first book in the series, but I want to hear more about this comparison. [SPOILERS FOR 5TH WAVE] What springs to mind is #26 and the howlers being childlike mass murderers who have no idea that they're mass murderers. Part of what I like about Animorphs' and 5th Wave's execution of the trope is that it's not as simple as "the ends justify the means" OR "the killers are monsters" OR "the killers can be allowed to go on as they have" OR "healing is possible through justice."

Like, the victims are still dead, and remorse won't bring them back. The aliens like Evan might want to help, but they're also fully dependent on their own fascist-imperialist society and can only do so much. The idea of war is a game that boys play to become men is as old a piece of propaganda as society itself, and part of how sci fi can expose that lie is simply through changing its focus. In Black Mirror it's as literal as a set of lenses that soldiers take off to discover that their enemies are human; in Ender's Game it's as symbolic as dots on a map becoming individual faces.

There's also this dramatic irony in reading #26 as an adult, when Jake rages at Crayak for forcing naïve children to fight in his war -- and all the while Jake never connects that he himself is a naïve child recruited by a different diety to fight on the opposite side of that war. ("This isn't some video game," Marco feels the need to tell Jake in #1 -- and he's not wrong that Jake is thinking of death in battle that way.) Sammy's the clearest parallel there, in that war is just a concept he can't wrap his head around when it's impossible to do so without experience. But Evan's also stuck fighting the war his ancestors started after having not been to war themselves, just like Aftran, just like Tobias. I never got around to finishing the 5th Wave trilogy, but at some point I might have to.
