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 28: The Experiment by K. A. Applegate

The Animorphs discover that the Yeerks are performing animal testing, and go to investigate. Ax has a brush with death that leaves him trembling. This book puts some important ideas in place but doesn't move a lot forward in the series arc.

This is one of the shortest Animorphs books, possibly the shortest one. I'll be looking for changes in Ax's behavior or personality after his most shocking brush with death yet, but he maintains his stoicism so completely that I don't know how quickly (or whether) any effects will appear in the series.
