Unexpectedly... Alex Rider is back.

Welcome back Alex. It's a been a pretty fun series and this opening isn't 10/10 but it's interesting enough. Carrying on with everything we left off which is excellent.

I'm interested enough to see where we're going. The new characters are compelling enough. The Widow, her goon, the old man and maybe Tom's brother.

I do feel like they're giving Tom an existential crisis and it's weird. He's survived being a 3rd tier spy team member. I thought maybe he was going to be upset that he's not being used but he came out of that well. He has friction with Kyra and he came out of that so to suddenly have Tom be confused on what he wants to be in life is sort of jarring. That's a third tier level of confusion. Besides he's not depicted as a bad student just average with a passion for film.
