Some would say this is the best book in the series so far, and I would pretty much agree. It’s such a significant book in the series because it’s a lot more deep and emotional. Alex’s character growth is phenomenal and some very important details are finally cleared up. This is probably tied with Skeleton Key for me, but obviously for different reasons. Bring on the next one!

AHH I REVISITED THIS SERIES THREE YEARS LATER. I BEGAN READING IN 2012 AND I READ UPTO EAGLE STRIKE AND I LOVED IT BUT I STOPPED FOR NO REASON AND THEN THIS YEAR I PICKED UP SCORPIA AND IT WAS BEAUTIFUL I READ IT IN A DAY AND IN THIS ONE, ALEX' VULNERABILITY REALLY COMES OUT THE FACT THAT HE'S 14 IS QUITE CLEAR AND YOU JUST END UP FEELING SO PROTECTIVE OVER HIM BECAUSE THAT JULIA ROTHMAN IS PLAYING WITH HIS MIND WHICH IS WEIRD BECAUSE I WAS 15 WHEN I READ THIS LOL OMG THIS BOOK IS BRILLIANT ONE OF MY FAVES IN THE SERIES AHH JUST READ IT OMG

As always this was fast-paced with a bit more mystery than the others. 
This is another storyline where Alex decides to go solo, it feels a lot more dangerous when he does this. 
Even though we don't have Sabina anymore I enjoyed the scenes with Tom, especially the dynamic with his brother.
The whole concept of Scorpia is very interesting and judging by the name of one of the future books it'll be an organisation that is brought back. I like the hidden training school idea, it would definitely make a great series or film storyline, it feels so 007.
In this book we get a more in-depth into Alex's past with a few questions answered by the end. Throughout this book we're never 100% sure how things are going to play out in regards to Alex's loyalties.

This one was okay but I thought it wasnt as good as the first few Alex rider books. It lacked the action and intensity that others had. I finished it but sometimes it was hard, just got a little bored. It wasnt terrible, just not my favorite. Hopefully the next one gets better.
