An amazing finale to the Alex Rider series. Though some events were sad and I'm not quite sure how Alex will ever settle into a normal life after all that's happened, it works well. All throughout the series, Horowitz has shown how the missions have affected Alex. He's changed across the year and a bit and it's made him stronger but at the same time, more brittle. I loved this book and I was sad when I finished it, especially considering it had taken me a couple of years of owning it to finally sit down and read it.

If you loved the other Alex Rider books then I don't see how you could be disappointed.
