Russian Roulette: The Story of an Assassin by Anthony Horowitz
3.0
I wouldn't say this is my favourite book in the Alex Rider series but it's an interesting story!
I did find the pace of Russian Roulette quite slow, most of the book was Yassen reading his own diary so it was first person instead of the usual third person for this series.
It was cool to get Yassen's life story and it offered a new perspective on decisions he's made in previous books. I particularly liked the connection with Hunter and how Yassen's life mirrors and entwines with Alex's.
