I thoroughly enjoyed being back in 15th century Italy with Ezio and the assassin gang. As someone who've played the game years ago, it was nice to get the story refreshed now that I'm getting further into the story in the other games.
This is a fascinating, gripping, yet perplexing read.
Overall, the characters are beautifully written, with great development, but at times there are frustrating jumps and just...gaps?
Glad to have read it.
