Animorphs is awesome to begin with, mediocre in the middle, trash towards the end and awesome again at the end. The Return is absolutely one of those books that are towards the end of the series.
I understand the Applegates have had a lot of the books in the series ghostwritten, so that might explain the decidedly mediocre plot in 'The Return'. Also the books with Ellimist and Krayak or their stooges can be weird to read because the Almighty beings have no rules to contend with. They defy gravity, time, space and even logic. It makes for irritating reading.
The only book one can read in the series and walk away contended and completely mindblown with is 'The Ellimist Chronicles'. Every other book in the series is as risky to read as the Animorphs invading a Yeerk pool.
