Running thoughts while reading this book:

“Wait - haven't they used the Sario Rip time-travel plot before?” * scrolls through summaries of the previous books* “

Yeah, there we go. The Forgotten (Animorphs #11). This makes me think so much of The Forgotten. And why do none of them seem to remember that they've been in a Sario Rip before?”

“How is Tobias the only one who recognizes the dinosaurs? Like...how? I mean, I get the rest not knowing the names of everything...but really? It should not take that long to figure out that you're being attacked by dinosaurs, and not some remote, undiscovered reptiles. Especially when - I cannot stress this enough - THEY HAVE TIME-TRAVELED BEFORE. This is a thing they know can happen!”

“Sario Rip? More like saurio R.I.P., amiright???”

“Did Ax ever pay attention in school? Every time something alien comes up, he immediately starts on about how they covered that in school, but he didn't really pay attention to the lesson that day. And again - he's already told them about Sario Rips. Why does no one remember the Sario Rips???”

In all seriousness, though, this one was fine. The lack of dinosaur recognition by everyone but Tobias was a bit strange, and it was obnoxious that the ending basically just hit a reset button on everything that happened, but I did like the moral dilemma that the kids ended up facing. So, there's that. :/
