Η σειρα βιβλίων Assassin's Creed με συνεπήρε από το πρώτο βιβλίο. Περιλαμβάνουν όλα τα στοιχεία που θέλω να βρω σε ένα τέτοιο βιβλίο. Δράση, ένταση αλλά και κάποια ιστορικά στοιχεία. Όλα τα βιβλία είναι γραμμένα πολύ όμορφα και περιέχουν σωστές περιγραφές των όσων διαδραματίζονται. H πλοκή ρέει ανάλαφρη και οι σκηνές δράσεις που έχει είναι δοσμένες έτσι ώστε μόνο θαυμασμό για τον κεντρικό χαρακτήρα σου αφήνουν.
Το γεγονός ότι γνώριζα και τα παιχνίδια της σειράς έκανε τα βιβλία να μου αρέσουν περισσότερο καθώς μπορούσα διαβάζοντάς τα να αναπαριστώ τις σκηνές από το παιχνίδι.

This was a good book. I liked the struggles that Ezio had to go though and the period was well described and even though there were historical icons, they were well respected and the fights were week written too.

This book was... I don't know, let's just call it weird. There were certain things I liked about it a lot but at the same time... It feels like this book was missing something.

Honestly, this reads exactly like the game plays, adding very little additional detail to the narrative (other than a little additional detail to Claudia's life post-Florence). It's well-written though and a pleasant book. If you liked the game, you'll like reliving it through this.

I would not normally read a novel based on a video game, because if the video game is worth playing, it should have a good story within it anyway.

Also, this novel is based on Assassin's Creed II, and I have only played most of the first one, and a few parts of Brotherhood. Something I abhor is reading a book in a series out of numerical order.

So with all that said, I enjoyed this for what it was. It certainly could have been worse. The writing was serviceable, and there was plenty of action. As a player of the games, the aspects placed in there from the games were not very subtle at all, i.e., leaps of faith and new Codex weapons.

And is it just me, or is anyone else getting a bit sick of the "The Fate of this World rests on the shoulders of this one person!" plots? I am.

Still, an enjoyable and quick read.
