I don't think I can even, like, begin to describe all the ways and levels in which SSGN makes me mad.
#spy school#like on the one hand what *are* you doing to erica#and what are you doing to Zoe#and what are you doing (or more specifically not doing) with trixie#because why did you introduce her and give it some complexity#only to drop it like a hot potato when there was a chance to explore it#and even with zoe there#why does she need??? any kind of romantic relationship????#it's not that it's rushed#it's that the idea that that is what she needs is *rotten to its core*#and I've been saying that since SSAS#''what can you expect from a middle grade book'' i can expect what the author implicitly promised books ago#okay maybe promised is not the right word#but i wanted SSPX to pick up on the threads that SSAS left in the same way that SSAS picked up on the threads that SSAS left#that's what i expected that's what i wanted#and the two threads that SSPX left that i kind of wanted explored (what actually happened between erica and joshua#and trixie being involved in a mission) were 100% abandoned#in favor of what? zoe (a character who got ruined *six books ago*) not going through any character development#no acknowledgement of what she did wrong#but gets a romantic relationship
