First of all I LOVE the story. It's thrilling! And instead of 'Preventing an evil plan from happening', It's 'All the bad things have happened and how to stop them' Which is fresh to me

And all those ideas are creative! I was truly amazed by the whale finder one

And then... It comes to character studies. For Ben, after being thrown into the sea and almost falling out a waterfall, I'd thought he would have PTSD of water... But no. INSTEAD he went scuba. And fall into the sea AGAIN. AND AFTER ALL THAT HE FINALLY FELT SCARED. I mean... Woah... Why treated my kid like this...😭😭He needs a break He needs a vacation...

Also... There were some plots I don't feel OK about...

WHY WOULD THEY SAY THOSE THINHS TO HIM...? He was scared cuz he was in danger ALL THE TIME. ( I remember there's hardly a time skip between SSGW and SSB...?) And the joke wasn't like those ' Wow u went to a challenging mission lucky you' jokes... Ben was treated as a bait AGAIN and EVEN THOUGH HE IS FINE I STILL DON'T FIND JOKING AROUND TEASING HIM ANY FUNNY...😢😢😢😢I feel heartbroken for him poor boy...

Also I really want to say PLEASE give Ben some motivations beyond 'I trust Erica for this' 'I do this to make her happy' 'I risk my life cuz I'm the good character I need to stop evil' PLEASE give him some independent thinking or a more detailed internal engine...

I can't believe I've read all 13 books and still have no idea what drives the main character to do all the good things. I love Murray and I know he did evil things to get super rich. I love Ben but all I could think of is him following Erica and CIA's orders unconditionally and doesn't seem to have a goal himself... This is pathetic...

Now I really feel the end of SSGW should have been Hillpley running away from CIA and all other things together on a road trip balabala😭😭😭😭Speaking of, where is Murray in SSB... The saddest thing ever... Please come back in the next book PLEASE...
