Okay, so after 5 volumes, I still find parts of the story humorous or specific missions intriguing. However, it's not okay to have a 6 year old pining after a grown adult, that's inappropriate no matter the context. (Plus it kinda ruins Becky's character since the won't drop the topic in this volume.) Bond isn't used all that much, which is kinda sad. The Damian vs Anya storyline wasn't bad, and thank God they made her slightly improve her grades, but it's still frustrating at her complete lack of ability, seriously give her like one area she's at least moderately decent in, it doesn't even need to be good just average, which would be more believable. A lot of these missions seem more disjointed than the prior volumes. I also really don't care for Fiona; she's not really adding anything besides unneeded tension in a story with plenty of that already. Plus, her trope of being the secretly jealous love interest is just overdone. I hope the next volume is better than the drop in quality for this one.
