5.0

One of the most compelling and heartbreaking character studies I’ve read in a while. Yassen is an amazingly well-developed and nuanced protagonist, and I would recommend this book to anyone, even someone who has no interest in the Alex Rider series. Leaps and bounds above the rest of the series, which I enjoy.
