Once again amid races, chases, hails of bullets, and increasingly spectacular explosions, the teenage James Bond pulls off one awesome feat of derring-do after another. [This] fresh caper . . . roars along to a (naturally) explosive climax.”— Booklist As I previously mentioned, this book does not add anything new to the series, which made me seriously question its existence. This was particularly frustrating to me since I know Horowtiz is capable of doing so, as he previously demonstrated with my favorite Alex rider installment - Scorpia. In this installment, we saw Alex act on his frustrations with MI6 and flirt with the dark side. That was a highlight for me because it was showing a different side of a character that felt natural and true to the progression of the over-arching plot. Never say die does none of that, it could easily be the second book in the series (instead of a staggering number 11). The positives is that it's still a great book series for a younger audience. It's well written and very well researched. Petski, Denise (10 November 2020). " 'Alex Rider' Renewed For Season 2 By IMDb TV". Deadline . Retrieved 20 November 2020. Alex propels himself on a personal crusade to chase that which seemed lost and Horowitz delivers action set-piece after set-piece with breathtaking abandon. As well as that, we have another brilliant villain or in this case villains in the shape of the Grimaldi brothers, twins operating pretty much as a single entity. They have a suitably notorious history and a suitably nefarious scheme that Alex finds himself having to stop.

Alex Rider is a series of spy novels written by British author Anthony Horowitz. The novels revolve around a teenage spy named Alex Rider and is primarily aimed towards young adults. The series currently comprises fourteen novels, as well as six graphic novels, seven short stories, and a supplementary book. It was so weird seeing Alex himself actually want to put himself in danger to find his friend and person who he's only cared for. Alex is such a determined character and the character growth has been huge even in a short amount of time. However with Alex's other missions this one seems the most personal one yet and he doesn't really think a lot of the time and mask rash decisions which could have almost got him killed.

What started out as a much beloved book series for me growing up has simply grown stale. There is so much plot lines and new characters always thrown into these books and i'm always excited to see where Anthony will take Alex next because every single book there is always multiple countries it's like i've gone on these adventures myself. Also just when i think that there couldn't be anymore for Alex to do there is a new threat and a new place to visit and i hope one day that there will be one mission that will be the end of it for Alex. It is one of two books where Alex does not find out the antagonist's plan directly, instead he overhears details about it. The first is Scorpia. Horowitz, Anthony; Johnston, Antony (May 2020).

books in and this series continues to grow and get better and that is something that i didn't think was possible. After the 9th book in the series ended and the 10th book of the series turned out to be a prequel, I never thought that Alex Rider will ride on for a new adventure but it's difficult to keep a winning horse down so as soon as I came to know about this book obviously I had to read this after all after reading 10 books already in the series it was a given that I shall be reading the next one and next one in the series too.
