A review by sapientreader
Assassin's Creed: Renaissance by Oliver Bowden

2.0

A BIG NAH !
The only reason I picked this up was to see exactly how a game is novelized. Well, first of all novelization wasn't that great. The actions of the character were described in a very amateur fashion.

Base of the story missing
Okay, this might be adapted from the second game of the series but it should have explained the origin of the stories. The whole thing being based in the present and the animus machine. I just couldn't believe author chose to ignore that. He might explain it in later book in the series but I disliked this enough to not continue this series.

Huge lack of character development
The only character we truly understood was Ezio Auditore. Rest all were just a huge mystery. They came in and went out. That's it ! We didn't get time to understand them, to bring him into our hearts.

Good quote !
The only reason I rated this 2 instead of one was

" Where all men blindly follow the truth, remember"
" Nothing is true."
"Where all men are constrained by laws and morality, remember"
"Everything is permitted"
" We work in the dark to serve the light, we are the Assassins "
