A review by doniniesta
Russian Roulette: The Story of an Assassin by Anthony Horowitz
4.0
"Looking back now, I would say that this was one of the first valuable lessons I learnt, and one that would be useful in my future line of work. Sometimes things go wrong. It is inevitable. But it is a mistake to waste time and energy worrying about events that you cannot influence. Once they have happened, let them go"
On this reread, I was even more in love with how Anthony brought out Yassen's arc. Absolutely loved the climax of his journey on the the way to be that cold blooded killer.
I would have appreciated if there was a callback to Leo or Dima as well or Yassen's side of what happened in Malta. A chapter on that would have made this a 5 star.
But, still, a good prequel story which very well deserved to be told, and was not just there to extend the ARU (Alex Rider Universe)
