I don't think I'd have gotten into the series much if Tobias hadn't been trapped in morph at the end of the first book. That was a statement: "These stakes are real and shit can happen." A statement that resonated throughout the series and elevated it far above the discontinuous, freeze frame stuff that usually pervades children's literature and entertainment. I mean, sure, Marco laid out the odds in his reluctance speeches, and just acknowledging them was a big deal, but then to actually have something HAPPEN? I was hooked.

Anyone else experience it that way?
