The game is better. But its okay I guess for nostalgia reasons

I enjoyed this almost as much as I did the first one. I found the author's writing a bit clumsier at times (I am not a big fan of random POV changes simply to move on with the plot - either use alternating POVs right away or stick to the ones you start with, otherwise it feels lazy to me), but it was an enjoyable retelling of the story of the game, with some bonus content near the end, where we learn what happened after Cesare was captured and before he was finally killed. That could have been even more fun than it was, what with Ezio, Leonardo and Niccolò going on a road trip - it's a pity that part wasn't longer, but as it is it's great fanfiction fodder, so I'm not complaining.

Once again, this isn't great literature but solid entertainment. Since I cannot get enough of Ezio and Leonardo (and the others! By the gods, this game has so many great characters it's horrible - it's one of the reasons I am as addicted to it as I am.) this was a good read, and their interactions especially were enjoyable (apart from some stuff near the end, but I'll chalk it up to Ezio's obsession with catching Cesare).

And I am still impressed with the author's ability of writing fight scenes.

This book was very good once you got a bit of the way through it but i think that because i did not read the first book in the series I found the start of it a bit confusing.

This was a fast paced action packed book. I enjoyed the detail in the fight scenes but felt more details could have been added in the scenery and character descriptions.
