most of this novel was not covered in the game which is why I was excited about it. I enjoyed it very much; the diversity of characters, varied locations which the novel took place like England, Italy, France, Damascus, Boston and others, the style of it.
the thing I liked the most and found very creative in this novel- in contrast to the previous ones- the style of it which was narration of a diary. It was close to real diary in which there were some small entries and long eventful ones as well. also, it was realistic the entries were not always on day to day basis.
since I read the secret crusade it was full of Assassins point of view, so since I knew the narrator this time was a Templar I expected to read about their point of view which was always idealistic and crude, yet this novel didn't go there at all. In the last few chapters there were some hints to it by Haytham to Conner yet I haven't managed how the character that we saw grow over the novel would have come to such ideals and conclusions?
another thing that I found very weird and unnatural was the Father-son interaction both in the game and novel. I expected more hate and anger, yet it was replaced by overall lukewarm feelings. I was happy in the chapter that Haytham saved his son and how he was conflicted about it later, and the chapters they were together.
over all it was a sad tale. but in the end it felt realistic considering the facts about the war and what happened to the natives after.
