Hey do any of y'all ever think about how Blunt's "You can't go home. You can't go back to school." at the start of Skeleton Key is a direct juxtaposition to Yassen's "Go home. Go back to school." at the end of Stormbreaker

sarov in skeleton key is such a funny character because he invites alex to breakfast and then immediately goes on a monologue about how he runs a marathon every morning and also cooking is Bad and he eats his eggs raw but if alex wants he will have his prepared the way he likes :)) he's considerate like that :)) also if alex tries to escape he will be shot or whipped, btw does alex like horse riding?
like how do you even respond to all of that lmao

Alex is so freakin innocent in Skeleton Key that it hurts!
But at the same time, he told himself, he might be reading too much into this. Crawley wasn’t asking him to infiltrate a foreign embassy or parachute into Iraq or anything remotely dangerous. He was being offered two weeks at Wimbledon. It was as simple as that. A chance to watch some tennis and—if he was unlucky—to spot someone trying to get their hands on the club silver. What could possibly go wrong?
I think this is the book that really marks a turning point in Alex's mental state, though.

reading skeleton key rn and its freaking hysterical poor alex
alex, after having found out he's humiliated and beaten two members of a big crime organization who have an honor code about that, namely that they don't stop until you're dead: so. uh, how many of them are there?
jones: ....about 19000.
blunt: you're in danger, your "housekeeper" is in danger, she's already been sent out of country, but coincidentally we already have a mission we could use you on out of the country....should be like a vacation, honestly, though....thoughts?
alex: ....i won't get paid, will i?
blunt: no.

Why do mentally ill Russians keep forming an unreasonable attachment to Alex immediately after meeting him

Rereading parts of Skeleton Key and Alex's theory on politicians is still so funny
Alex was surprised that such an insignificant-looking man could be the head of a huge country. But then, he thought, most politicians are small and shabby, the sort of people who have been bullied at school. That’s why they become politicians.
