I was actually disappointed that this book didn't have more interaction with The Pink Badge crew, as this volume explores the other espionage scout troops through the lens of the Black Badge characters we met in volume one.
As with the first volume, you don't really get a sense fot the characters, and the plot isn't fantastic, it's just an interesting world-building story that hang out on the fence between spy stories and coming of age tropes. There's a character reveal at one point that I think is designed to be a shock but left me feeling flat. But the twist at the end of the volume was nice and unexpected.
Fans of Kindt's work, and people who enjoy teen protagonists with adult consequences should check this title out.
