Seru parah! Bnyak cameo dr karakter AC sbelumnya. Disarankan mainin smua game AC dulu biar ada efek surprise nya ๐
Cuma klo dibandingin sm AC sblumnya, story yg ini kurang memorable aja. Tp selain itu no minus
4.75/5๐
Seperti biasa, aku selalu mainin dulu semua gamenya baru berani untuk baca dan ternyata itu langkah yg tepat. Karena oliver bowden selalu nulis original novel tp based nya tetep dari game. Jd klo disimpulin cerita utamanya ya di game trus untuk pelengkapnya baru deh dr novel.
1/2 buku ini akan nyeritain ttg Ethan (bapaknya jacob, evie frye) & murid prtmanya Ethan aka The ghost. Sisanya baru nyeritain si kembar.
Makanya aku bilang mainin dulu smua gamenya biar kalo ada cameo/elemen2 kejutannya tuh bisa 'dapet' gitu๐
Aku aja ampe ter-'hah hoh hah hoh'
Yup jd akan ada bnyak cameo yg dimunculin.
Yg aku suka dr novel series assassin's Creed ini ya cerita pelengkap kyk gini.
Di game nya yg syndicate tuh ga ada cerita Ethan sama the ghost ini. Yg kt tau Jacob sama Evie udah gede dan mulai nguasain London. Jd bersyukur bgt ada cerita pelengkapnya. Aku selalu rekomendasiin kalian untuk baca semua series novelnya kalo udah main gamenya. Trust me!
walau aga kesel yah pas gue mainin gamenya butuh berjam jam buat ngabisin 1 orang, di buku cuma butuh 3 halaman ๐ tp seru banget parah! seperti biasa Oliver Bowden bagus banget bikin world buildingnya. Beneran persis kayak lagi di dunia gamenya
Kekurangannya mungkin ke story nya kurang berkesan dibanding story assassin's creed pendahulunya kyk Altair, Ezio,Kenway, Haytham yg lebih memorable. Mungkin krn itu jg dimasukin bnyak cameo ke buku ini. Tujuannya biar ada part membekas gitu. Tp selain itu aku suka sihโค๏ธ

This was a good insight into the Templar's association on the streets of London and how even to the 20th century. Which had references to the earlier books which have me a sense of nostalgia. Yet, I do find it ambitious to have multiple protagonists.

Well, that was emotional.
As a huge fan of the Assassin's Creed and Victorian London, I HAD to buy this book. After finishing the game a month or so ago, I needed to fill the hole that it had left in my heart.
The book is essentially split into three halves, starting before the events of the game and focusing on the character of Henry Green (or Jayadeep Mir/The Ghost/Bharat Singh) and how he became an Assassin. It later focuses on the Frye twins and follows the story of the game exactly.
As much as I love the game, it took me a month to read this because it just didn't hold my attention. I really liked learning more about Henry, his background and how he came to London, however I found it quite tedious to read at times. The story definitely picked up around half-way through and then I fully got engrossed in it when it focused upon Evie, Jacob and the storyline of Syndicate.
My favourite part of the book was absolutely the ending. I love that we are shown the developing relationship between Henry and Evie, something that was suggested but slightly glossed over in the game.
All in all, I'm really glad I read this. I am obsessed with the Frye twins and the world of Victorian London, however I felt it was lacking in excitement in some areas. I give it 3.5 stars and I will definitely want to read the predeceasing novels in the series at some point.

For someone who is playing the Assassin's Creed Syndicate, I would recommend it.
Read just the first 2 out 3 parts before playing and read the rest as you progress/once you are done with the game.
First 2 parts are prequel involving story of Abberline, Henry aka 'The Ghost/ Jaydeep' and Ethan Frye. Where as the 3rd part covers the game's story mostly through Evie's perspective.
Why read it?
Good tie-in with the game as character backgrounds and motivations become much clearer. Also, there are some small details which are really fun to learn.
Still last part feels like someone just describing the game without much enthusiasm, may be writing is poorer in that part.

I enjoyed this book. It was my least favorite in the Assassin's Creed books.
It follows Ethan as he trains another assassin in the assassin's way. He then has that same one come undercover named the Ghost in London to take down the Templar's from their goals. The Ghost then trains and helps Ethan's kids in the assassin's way.
It was a fun adventure. It was interesting to see what this story was going to go. I liked where this went.
I really enjoyed the characters. They were interesting and I liked seeing where they were doing.
