Ben is a nice guy. Except when it comes to people who hurt Alex. He may or may not have slipped Klara Zak's and Joe Mendoza's names and pictures to Yassen for distribution among the criminal underworld, but what is certain is that not long after the events in Nightshade Revenge, those two keep getting their covers blown, and they are soon given desk jobs.

WARNING: Nightshade Revenge spoilers!!!

I'm honestly really bummed out that we didn't actually get to see Sofia Jones/Number 6 and only heard about her. I've said this more than once, and I'll say it a thousand times more, but all the female characters of the Alex Rider series are seriously neglected!

I feel like it could have been really interesting to have had a scene or two of Sofia and Freddy before Freddy's escape (not necessarily directly before the escape, just the general time leading up to it) where they're going over everything that they've been through or just talking about life in general. Like, I think it could have been a good foreshadowing opportunity/chance to get more insight on how much Nightshade fucked them up (obviously it's a lot, but the more we know, the more satisfying the deaths of the Teachers would've been at the end). Maybe even going over what they wanted to do after they got out of Delhi Station and how everything was going with their parents.

After Freddy's escape, a scene with Alex and Sofia going over Operation Get-Freddy-And-The-Numbers-Back-Home (new band name idea) and Sofia wanting to go but not being allowed so she forces Alex to promise to get revenge on Nightshade for her/bring back Freddy/get William and the other numbers out. Also just processing that Nightshade broke Freddy out, there are so many places to go with that!

This one is also for Nightshade. Seeing a Mrs. Jone and Sofia and/or William reunion would have been *chef's kiss*. The angst, the hurt/comfort, just all of it would have been immaculate! The emotional damage/trauma being addressed/shown would've been everything! Even more so if Sofia didn't recognize Mrs. Jones/was actively trying to escape, but for William, the photo Alex gave him was enough to jog his memory and not only did he remember Mrs. Jones, but was ecstatic to see her. Once again, a missed storytelling opportunity in my opinion.

All this being said, I like Nightshade Revenge a lot! I don't know if any of this would actually This is just me trying to make it so that my personal favorite side characters get more attention because I love them and they deserve it. In any case, this is what fanfiction is for!

i love tom in devil but why isnt sabina in it too? was she ever suppose to be? and will you ever write a fic with her?

(Under a read-more for rambling and mild wip spoilers:)

The easy answer is that Tom wasn't supposed to be in Devil in the first place, either, beyond an outsider POV in the interludes. The original (and very vague) plot outline had Alex choose to take down SCORPIA when Yassen gave the ultimatum, so long before Tom got added. Then the plot changed and everything got personal and Tom (and Jack) got tangled up it in, too. By that point, I was juggling too many characters and plotlines to want to add more if I wanted any chance of wrapping up the fic. Plus, at the point where it might have been relevant to add her, SCORPIA had already targeted her (journalist) father and the last thing Yassen wanted was something like that to mess up his careful plans any further. Sabina would have been justifiably furious to find out who Alex was working for now.

I have no plans to add her to Nautilus for the moment - or Tom, since I've got enough characters to juggle already. The original plan, before Nautilus grew an actual plot, was actually to add Tom to the general chaos, but with the current developments with Chase, Alex has every incentive to keep his friends well away from things.

I've got no solid plans for a fic with her, but since I read Nightshade Revenge, I've really wanted to write her and Alex as adults in the middle of their respective careers. Sabina as a war correspondent or similar, something that will let her help keep the world of power accountable, Alex with a nebulous job as a 'problem solver' and just - coming in and out of each others' lives as their schedules line up. They love each other but neither are the type to settle down and they both respect that sometimes the job comes first. Maybe they only see each other a few weeks every couple of months, maybe more and maybe less, but they understand each other, they have shared traumas and a vicious distrust of people of wealth and power, and - they make it work. A stable home base in otherwise busy, unpredictable lives. Run it parallel with flashbacks to John and Helen's lives, both the similarities and the huge differences, and give Alex and Sabina the happy ending that Alex's parents didn't get. That's the Sabina and Alex fic I really want to write.

Losing my mind over a minor detail but WHAT is the colour of Mrs Jones skin? I was under the impression she was Black all this fucking time but Nightshade Revenge states 'very pale skin' 😭

Is this another one of Horowitz's inconsistencies or is it just my stupid imagination???

[jenna-louise-jamie]

im so tempted to buy all the alex rider graphic novels, but they cost $98 canadian dollars... and that's the cheapest set i could find too

[theivorybilledwoodpecker]

I'm reading Nightshade Revenge, and Mrs. Jones saying Alex has been like a son to her🤬

I know she lost her kids in an incredibly traumatic way. But what she did to Alex wasn't all that different than what Nightshade did to William and Sofia. Like, yeah, Nightshade took it much further, but she sends Alex into situations where he's forced to kill people to survive and frequently gaslights him into believing he wants to do this.

He ain't your son, lady!

Book Update:

Just finished Alex Rider: Nightshade's Revenge.
