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 32: The Separation by K. A. Applegate

Rachel has an accident in starfish morph and has to come to terms with herself. I like this exploration of Rachel's personality. It could have been cheesy, but it crafts a story where both parts of her have something she needs

The dynamics with the other Animorphs play out in several very interesting ways. Specifically I'm thinking of her approaches to Marco and Tobias (including their reactions), and how Cassie is the first to figure out what's going on. Erek's role is strange here, the plot needs him around but he seems more confused by humans than makes sense for someone his age.
