If we ignore the  blackface and the really weird comments about vitiligo, this was the best book in the series so far.

In this episode in the Alex Rider series, Alex turns to the evil side, Scorpia, where I personally though he belonged to begin with. But, obviously he turns all goody-goody and saves the world...again.

I read this because my son (12) read the series. Both he and I enjoyed it.

My face when Alex wore a black latex mask and put on an "authentic" accent as a disguise 😬😬😬

Other than that, and the weird remarks about Mike's vitiligo, this was a lot of fun. I liked seeing the baddies :)
