A review by romanaromana
Scorpia Rising by Anthony Horowitz
5.0
I agree with other reviewers and Horowitz himself that this book is different to all the other Alex Rider adventures. But for me it was a good kind of different. Maybe it seemed more grown up, much like Alex himself, maybe the semi-reversed plot made it more exciting, either way I really enjoyed this.
Scorpia Rising sees Alex up against the terrorist group Scorpia for the third time. The main difference between this book and the 8 before it is that it begins with the enemy. We know the basis of Scorpia's plan before it's carried out. But the element of surprise and suspense is not lost as we aren't told everything and we're soon in the same boat as Alex - seeing their plans unravel and hoping they can be stopped.
I must admit I smiled a lot every time Horowitz reminded us that this would be Alex's last mission. But I'm glad there are more. As long as he wants to write them, I would LOVE to read them.
