Assassin's Creed: Unity by Oliver Bowden, Andrew Holmes
3.0
I'm a fan of Assassin's Creed Unity. It's probably one of my favourites in the franchise, honestly. So I was looking forward to reading this one.
Unfortunately, this struck me as one of the weakest of these tie-in novels. Not a bad book, but a bit disappointing. It's from the perspective of Èlise, who in the game is a bit of an enigma but definitely a likeable character.
In this book, I found her to be arrogant, entitled, and naïve. She had her flaws in the game, but she was a good character. This book did her a disservice in my opinion.
It also fell into the pitfall of these tie-in novels in that it rushed through much of the actual game story, and in this one it felt particularly egregious. Considering how firmly Èlise's story is tied to the events of the game, that didn't work for me.
It's a shame the book wasn't as good as the game, or other books in this series. Not bad, just not as good as the other AC tie-ins.
