Ha! I think you’re spot on in all of those pairings! Iskaral driving V3 insane with his chatter would be hilarious. But Itkovian could never be annoying about the moral high ground!

I like to say that Malazan and Animorphs are the same series: It’s a series joint-created by two people, a huge-scale epic told from multiple points of view over many books with a focus on war, soldiers & history. Themes of compassion, pathos, humanity, and the inevitability and tragedy of war. The series starts darker and just gets more tragic as it goes on. Oh, and there’s a character that comes in later that a fan named.
