Review of 'High stakes' on 'Goodreads'

Story was okay. But… is it me or the editing is pretty much awful for both this book and the previous in the series?
Characters missing in one part never disappeared later. Dialogs that sometimes don't make any sense.
Also suffering from the X-men current roaster trope. Sorry, for this story, we only have one teleporter ace.
So a bit disappointing.
