I love the game so I loved getting the backstory of the characters we come across during the game.

By no means by favourite book in the series. Didnt feel the same connection with the characters (to be fair I love AC but didnt feel it in Origins either) and fraught with small grammar mistakes or mistaken identities.

Still sets up the backstory you dont see in the game well!

"¿Acaso no ha sido Egipto invadido con anterioridad? Han estado aquí persas, nubios y griegos, y, aún así, es nuestro país el que cambia a los invasores, y no los invasores al pueblo egipcio. Cambiaremos a los romanos de la misma manera que lo hicimos con Alejandro. Depende de nosotros que Egipto siempre siga manteniendo su poder".

Was a book that took a look into the Egyptian landscape and even though I did like the book, it did not live up to the other books and was underwhelming compared to them. This was admittedly a good book but it did not live up to its status as a prequel to the books that came before.

I really enjoyed this book.

This follows Bayek who is the son to the protected his village and was training to do what his father. There is a killer on the loose and Bayek tries to figure out who this is.

I really enjoyed this story. It was a fun read and enjoyed seeing what would happen for the characters.

I had fun reading about these characters and all that they went through.

Overall it was a great read.

 Έχω ξαναπεί ότι η σειρά βιβλίων στον κόσμο του Assassin's Creed είναι μια από τις αγαπημένες μου. Και αυτό το βιβλίο λοιπόν που αποτελεί ένα prequel της ιστορίας δεν αποτέλεσε εξαίρεση.
