Realising Animorphs exists with its alien parasite species (Yeerk) and just. Thinking back on The Host by Stephanie Meyer. And how they’re two very very very different stories but now I can’t help but think SM read at some point Animorphs- or heard about it. I haven’t read much SF how common those kinda aliens are? The ones that are small and rept into your brain to control your body in the process absorving your traits bc otherwise they haven’t a way to really live? Ok, about everything about the Animorphs worldbuilding is better than SM, bc as I said the stories themes are different, and are interested in exploring wildly different things, and the souls in The Host are besides very lite in comparison and stepped in Meyer christian imaginery but. I can’t unsee it. Why. I didn’t need those dots connecting in my brain.
