An Un-Calibrated Centrifuge

This review contains spoilers. 

Oh, time travel. I've seen all the elements in this book before in other Animorphs books and they all worked better the first time. I mean, the Animorphs travel through several (all Western-centric) battles in time yet in the end the story goes nowhere. That is sort of the point, but it makes the book feel like a waste of time.

One question under the cut.

Jake dies crossing the Delaware, but then Rachel "dies" at Trafalgar. Not really because she comes back at Princeton but for the remainder of their time at Trafalgar she's "dead." Is that because she was dead enough? Like, getting cut in half is too much to come back from but getting shot in the chest is OK (at DDay Tobias wonders if there's some limit to their immortality in this weird game). I don't know. The whole thing just didn't quite make sense.

I also understand the point that was being made with the new future society but some of the terms being thrown around... If the book were better I might be more forgiving, but it just seems unnecessary. I would probably keep the incident with Cassie and the Princeton frat boy and the conversation about the Holocaust but would lose the rest of it.
