K.A Applegate's letter to distressed fans after the series ended is worth a read

> Pretty soon you'll all be of voting age, and of draft age. So when someone proposes a war, remember that even the most necessary wars, even the rare wars where the lines of good and evil are clear and clean, end with a lot of people dead, a lot of people crippled, and a lot of orphans, widows and grieving parents.

> If you're mad at me because that's what you have to take away from Animorphs, too bad. I couldn't have written it any other way and remained true to the respect I have always felt for Animorphs readers.

Semi-relevant: For anyone wondering about that domain name, "hirac delest" roughly translates as "final words". In-universe it's when a dying Andalite records their last thoughts and sends it back to their homeworld.

Yes, a beautiful letter. I believe I've read it before but always good to revisit. Especially given the current times, unfortunately.
