Brilliant book. Time goes by a bit quick but other that it is a extremely good book
Yeah... This book didn't really work for me.
First of all, the plot felt so choppy! It was almost like we have this list of chores that Ezio does in the game and we have to put it in the book but instead of letting it flow... it just turns into a list of chores with a bit of an explanation... It didn't grab or interest me at all!
I also thought that this book had a lot of needless gore, definitely a lot more than in the first one. Almost on every page we have someone who is being stabbed in the eye and we have even had a case where someone got cut in the belly while running so his intestines fell out, he tripped over them and died... I can tell you that this is not happening in the game! I have not issue with gore but this just didn't serve a purpose and that annoys me.
Around the 60% point I just couldn't force myself anymore to read this so I picked up the audiobook, put it on 1.75x speed and that was the only reason that I was able to finish this. I didn't care about the characters or the plot, the plot was crazy choppy which didn't help with my reading experience at all and the gore just made me roll my eyes. I liked the first book and I like the games but this book was just bad.

this book is not for me. i am not game player and do not enjoy this book at all.
While I was reading it felt like I was playing the game on a playstation... really weird!
¡Por fin lo terminé! ¡Aleluya! Llevaba muchas semanas postergando el final y hoy, al fin, he logrado terminarlo.
Este libro me llegó gracias a Babelio y su iniciativa de Masa Crítica, el motivo por el que lo elegí fue simple: Nostalgia. Los videojuegos de Ezio Auditore fueron algunos de mis favoritos de la saga Assassins Creed, sin embargo, esta novela ha sido, ante todo, aburrida. No os confundáis, me gustan las novelas históricas, sin embargo, este libro en particular se me ha hecho especialmente denso y muy aburrido. Es cierto que rememore muchos momentos del videojuego, pero entre ellos todo lo que había era ridículo, insulso y lento.
Por otro lado, el personaje de Ezio se me ha hecho especialmente insoportable. No recordaba para nada que fuera como lo plantean en el libro.
A todo esto debemos sumarle el hecho de que es un libro lleno de faltas ortográficas, palabras cambiadas, que se repiten o que directamente omiten, cortando en todo momento el ritmo de lectura.
2/5
