I read this just because I was such a devoted fan of the games but I guess I though it'd be a lot better. it stuck to the storyline so I guess I can't really blame the author for how he wrote it was pretty decently executed but you just don't get the same full immersion into the story unless you are playing the game

3.5
wow this book was a whole journey!! which i really enjoy.
اكون صريحه البدايه كانت وايد حلوه وحدي اشتطيت مع القصه والشخصيات بعدين اوه صار عندنا وايد وايد شخصيات وحسيت نايس*بس ضعت شوي لانه في شخصيات ما قالو لو لنا عنهم وايد اشياء*

البلوت بشكل عام تونس انه يروح ويرد ويسوي اشياء فالاكشن بالكتاب وايد موجود ويمكن اهو اللي خلاني اكمل الكتاب؟حسيت الكتاب جنه قاعده اقرا اللعبه يعني ما كانت قام اقرا كتاب*ما احسه شي سلبي ؟*النهايه شوي حبيتها مو وايد

تراني قريت الكتاب وانا ما اعرف وايد عن اللعبه وفهمت كل شي سو مو ضروري تكونون لاعبينها اتوقع

This novel was so rushed you can really tell that the author was hard pressed to fit everything in 500 pages. In saying that though, this book is incredibly easy to read.

The biggest issue was the time jumps. You're almost never informed about how much time has passed unless a character happens to bump into Ezio and say things like: "Haven't seen you since the plague!"

As a reader I felt like an uninvited watcher. Someone who just stood out of the bounds of the story casually observing everything that's going on and never really being apart of it. Nothing that happens in this novel triggered any sort of emotional reaction from me, at the most my interest was piqued at times when they mentioned (very briefly mind you) actual historical characters and events.

Ezio is an okay character, who does do a lot of growing and developing throughout the 30 years that this novel spans, however we're never SHOWN that we're always just told about it. And that is what really brings this story down, and don't even get me started on that ending!

Disappointing & Disjointed

Mostly since I've played the game thoroughly through, this book doesn't add anything new. So nothing wrong to the writer, but the book as such..nah.

A good book but it drags on a lot. The Latin/italian phrases used throughout also break the flow of the book as you're constantly flipping to the back to figure out what they mean. The ending is the best part of the book but a little too abrupt. Also a little too vulgar for my taste in places. Be prepared to squirm when women are threatening to shove mens heads up her figa. There are only a few places like this though

Meh... para descubrir la trama sin tener que jugar al juego (al que soy un desastre) está bien, pero nada más.
