The casual racism and fatphobia are really weird and uncomfortable. And in both book 1 and 2 the bad guy is an immigrant POC 🫤
Aside that, it’s always fun seeing children’s books’ authors put their characters in the most horrifying and traumatising situations possible and then go "Mental health repercussions? What’s that? 😃😃😃 "

It’s a good book & critique of the British secret service and it’s a genuinely spooky book but the afterword by Anthony Horowitz is just so weird?? Like I’d actually give a trigger warning for it.
