Series Review: The Suitable 'Verse by R. Cooper

Greetings and welcome to Reviews That Burn: Series Reviews, part of Books That Burn. Series Reviews discuss at least three books in a series and cover the overarching themes and development of the story across several books. Full Audio Here Powerful noble families known as the beat-of-fours, answerable only to a ruler and the mysterious, godlike fae, scheme and squabble amongst themselves, and go to war for the chance to put one of their own on the throne. But the fae might be pulling more strings than the nobles realize and they definitely have their favorites. A series of love stories loosely centered around the political crisis that led to the current ruler, featuring oblivious librarians, crafty though loving kings, an innocent half-fae noble, a legendary outlaw turned conqueror, worried warriors, clever guards, and an infamous beauty.

Animorphs Book 18: The Decision by K. A. Applegate

Wherein Ax discovers that not all traitors are Controllers, and commits to Jake as his Prince. Plus cool Z-space stuff, the Leerans, and cinnamon buns. This series is directly responsible for my love of Cinnabon, as I didn't frequent the mall.

This is a turning point where Ax goes from temporarily aligned with the humans until he can leave, to accepting them as his own. I really love how this is handled, especially since this paradigm shift would take a long time even if little moments can be responsible for large chunks of it. The Z-space theory is great and the snapback effect give a nice sense of urgency to the pacing.
