Ending was a bit meh so I'm glad this isn't actually the final one! But a fun mission otherwise.

I am very disappointed with this installment of the Alex Rider series, I have loved them all up until this one. Firstly, it had a very long winded beginning in which we find out about Scorpia's plan which means there's not much we don't know towards the end. I don't want to spoil the story too much for those who haven't read it but a major character died and I thought "no need to get upset they'll have survived" but that character did in fact die!!! It wasn't emotional, there wasn't a final goodbye or anything so I was REALLY annoyed that the author did that after I've followed thru with the whole series and there wasn't even the slightest moment for the reader to be upset about that character dying! Anyway that's my long winded complaint over and thats why I only gave it 2 stars.
