My last post was about Alex Rider series. Currently, I am on the last book of the series. The last book is called Russian Roulette: The Story of an Assassin. I will warn you that if you are looking for an Alex Rider novel that shows us the events after Scorpia Rising, you will end up being disappointed. This novel does not center around Alex Rider and the events about him. This is about the assassin Yassen Gregorovich, and his backstory. It shows us his journey from him being a poor boy living on the streets of Moscow, to him becoming one of the worlds deadliest assassins recruited by one of the top terrorist organizations.
After reading, the first few chapters, I think that this is a good/interesting book. The imagery in this book is just excellent and it almost makes me feel like I'm in the location of Moscow, Russia. Even the simplest things, have incredible amounts of detail added to them. The author does a great job of this. It is interesting to see things from his perspective. However make sure to read the Alex Rider books first, because it will be quite confusing if you don't. If you have, make sure to read this!
I have read some of the Alex Rider books and enjoyed them, I think this is great that you have continued them, I hope you enjoy the rest of the book.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read any of the Alex Rider books. I think that the transition from the Percy Jackson series to the Heroes of Olympus series are exactly like the Alex Rider series. The Lost Hero talks about a whole different character that is not introduced in the Percy Jackson series. At first, I was confused, but I later got the baseline of the story and the really cool thing was that the connection between the two series came a little while into the book. After reading the Alex Rider books, I will definitely read this one.
