Point Blanc (Alex Rider, #2))

The story moves quickly, but I was curious about how much focus was given to building the protagonist's personality amid all the suspense.

The constant surprises kept me on edge, but I wondered if the pacing might have benefited from a slower build-up in some parts.

The detailed spy gadgets and missions felt very authentic — I'm curious whether Horowitz drew from real spy lore or created everything from imagination.
