Assassin's Creed: Renaissance

I had just started play AC but when I saw the books I got really excited! It was very good, it kept you on your toes!!

I read several reviews of this book and was wary initially of buying (to the point where I read parts of it in a bookstore before buying it here). Finally finished it and 500 odd pages later, this is not just a pithy sewing together of cutaway scenes and story clips. Is it classic literature? No, but it wasn't meant to be. It's sometimes hard to translate action in to book form, especially when done in the luscious hi-def glory that Ubisoft was able to achieve. But what it lacks in geographical description, it makes up in explaining and demonstrating the philosophy of the story of the game itself. You understand what makes an Assassin different from a Templar, you understand what made Ezio tick, what made Altair tick and while it is subtle, it is genuine characterization and if you don't get the memo, then you just aren't trying.While some complained because Sophia wasn't painted with more detail or that the relationship between some of the characters could have been explored better (like the political tension in the royal family for example), I'd still argue it wasn't necessary. This is not Suleiman's story or Yusuf's story, nor was it a love story though there is one; it's Ezio's and Atair's stories and the simplicity of their thoughts and actions were well drawn. It wasn't meant to fill in the gaps, fanfic is much more satisfactory in those cases. The only drawback of this book is that sometimes it borders on being preachy, but I don't think the makers of this game were exactly subtle about whose corner they wanted you to be in.True to the game, absolutely direct about it's philosophy, and it doesn't try to masquerade as anything more than it should be for 10 dollars.

I am a huge gamer and having played Assassins Creed many times, it was nice to see “inside” what we are RPGing. This book was a lot of fun to read and very insightful. “With you until the end, Ezio!”

From the first page this story was just enthralling to the point that i read the entire book in two days. Very exciting and very interesting.I will now purchase the complete series

This book started off with lots of promise. It got my interest straight away and kept it there for a few chapters. It includes some intesting history facts of the age and enlists some of the characters of the age as well all of which I found very intersting and unique. However the general theme did not change. The Protaganist got better and better at killing and never really got into trouble. He goes from one adventure to another of similar sort with the same outcome. He kills everyone and gets away without problems. I had trouble finding the climax and wondered at many points if it was just a story that went on and on without an end.Overall a good light read if you don't expect much surprise or complex intrigue.

Assassins Creed Renaissance is a fantastic read whether you have played the game or not. It follows the story of assassins creed 2 to the letter but also adds more story elements that help answer some of the games little questions that were left unanswered. It is also a great read for anyone who hasn't played the game as it requires no prior knowledge of the assassins creed universe. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants a more in depth look at the game or anyone who just wants a good book to read.

This origin story for how Ezio joins the assassin's is pleasantly written and gives not only geographic insight but chronologic identity to the tale. The development of Ezio's character and path into the Assassin's provides a rounding of the character into the individual he becomes. A good read that runs well with the game storylines. I recommend this easy read whether a fan of the Assassin's Creed games or not.

The saga of the Assassin just keeps going on. Each chapter brings another chapter in his pursuit of his fight against the Templars. Once you start you are completely drawn into the Assassin's world.

If you enjoy the AC video games you will appreciate how these books fill in the backstory. Good read.

Apesar de ter alguma marcas/manchas nas bordas das páginas de uso/tempo, o preço bem mais acessível fez valer a pena. Livre de anotações e, levando-se em conta o fato de o livro já ser antigo, relativamente bem conservado. Tudo dentro do esperado. Livro bem interessante para quem já jogou a série e gostaria de saber mais sobre a história de cada jogo.

I'm so happy and gald of my purchase for this book. Assassin's Creed game series has always been my the most favourite series of all time. This is a perfect book for a fellow like me. Can't wait to unveil the secrets inside 💠
