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

Did not finish book. Stopped at 16%.

It isn’t very well written and the author adds almost nothing to the story that didn’t exist in the game. One of the (very few)changes made in the book is that a very-late-in-game revelation is moved to an early chapter as part of an exposition dump. This actually alters the roles and motivations of several key characters in such a way that makes them far less interesting. I didn’t necessarily want a book on the same level as Almaty by Vladimir Bartol. In fact, the bar was low for me. But the bar could’ve been on the floor and this novelization wouldn’t be able to get over it.
