Amazing! Can't wait to read more of Alex rider! I pray the author A.H. continues to write Alex Rider books forever. Perhaps even some adult adventures someday!

*by E***O on Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2020*

As a long, LONG time fan of this series since the very first book came out, I have been keeping up with the reboot of the series almost reluctantly. Enjoying myself, no doubt, but finding myself disappointed as my hands-down favorite book series seemingly dried up (like a lot of franchises do) with the disappointing and forgettable “Never say die” and the far flawed and cheesy “Secret weapon.” I planned on getting nightshade hoping that, at best, it would be better than the two previous installments. Not only was I not disappointed by this book, but it exceeded my expectations to become one of the favorite books in the entire series (surprising for a reboot, I know)*SPOILER REVIEW*Nightshade follows what I would like to call the Scorpia plot of Alex rider stories. Or indeed, never say die officially tied that story up and Nightshade focuses on Alex rider picking up the pieces after what you could call the main plot of the series if officially finished. It does this in a way that isn’t forced or reluctant, but rather brilliant in that it takes all the remaining loose ends from Scorpia (Julius griefs death and Alan blunts retirement, mostly) and uses those to craft a new story that doesn’t feel forced in the slightest. A new threat appears, and mrs Jones being the new head of MI6 has to fight it, along with establishing her presence among the other secret services of Britain, and uses Alex under the cover of a recently deceased Julius to do it. None of those points were created in this book, and that’s my point exactly. This story wasn’t created, it feasibly was going to happen anyways.Seeing Alex pretend to be Julius was an absolute delight and completely turned the tables in a very entertaining way. This book fleshed out Gibraltar and let us long time fans learn more about a very interesting location from the old series, even keeping faithful to the minor details that only a minority of people would notice. Overall I enjoyed that segment a lot.Let’s talk about nightshade.Early on in the book, the term ”more evil than Scorpia” was tossed around and I found myself quite annoyed at that. Scorpia is built as the most dangerous villain corps in all the book series and I didn’t enjoy Hearing it brushed aside. I found however that this statement was quite true the more I thought about it, they aren’t brushing Scorpia aside, nightshade is just a brilliant reimagining of The same principal, Scorpia had a large council and no beliefs, while nightshade is four villains who we will learn more about and they are manipulating kids to be, in a sense, evil without even knowing it. I can definitely understand why people would dislike them more. Scorpia is arguably a more well written enemy, but I am very excited to follow up on Alex defeating nightshade in a similar story beat, and I’m very glad that this book took the time to established it, rather than just having Alex completely destroy them in the end. Needless to say the “cliffhanger” has me very excited!I give this book five stars. My list so far is as follows:1.Snakehead2.Scorpia rising3.Nightshade4.Arc angel5.Scorpia6.Point blank7.Never say die8.Stormbreaker9.Eagle strike10.Crocodile tears11.Sketon key12. Secret weapon
