Really cool read. Comes with 8 books for the price of one! Assassins creed is amazing and this makes me a very happy person knowing that Oliver bowden put his books together into one without having to pay for each separate. Stories of Altaïr Ezio, Connor, Arno, and the Frye siblings.

Assassin Creed the Secret Crusade Oliver Bowden Books Reviews

If you Like the Assassin's Creed games, I'm sure you would like this book! I ended up reading it for my my English class (We got to choose what book we wanted to read) and It was amazing! I couldn't put the book down!
Great book for fans of Altair or the first game or Revelations. Ties together Altair's story pretty well, but doesn't reveal much we didn't already know. Still, it was a great glimpse into his character and the connections between the different stages of his life we get a peek at in Revelations.
My first Assassin's Creed novel was Forsaken and perhaps reading that one first set the bar a little high. Oliver Bowden seemed comfortable and free in that environment and in a way he was, since Haytham Kenway was still somewhat of a mystery after the AC3 game proper. I acknowledge that because the events in Revelations were already played out in-game, the author had very little leeway to create something new. That said, there are still a few things that I found wanting in the book overall.

Even though Revelations takes place primarily in the sights and sounds of Istanbul, I found that the framework was surprisingly lacking. The book takes place in a location that, even today, sparks the imagination with culture and wonder. In the game, I felt as if Istanbul itself was a living, breathing character around Ezio, unique and all its own. The book, conversely, spent very little time on the setting, which surprised me. I was also surprised by the utter lack of new story or even narrative flow in this book. It felt almost mechanical at times. In my head, rather than picturing the events taking place in the book I was reading, I was picturing the author playing the game, pressing pause, and writing down what he'd just done on the screen. The effect is that events and dialogue feel choppy in a lot of places where central story should have flown easily. Because of the choppy narrative, Ezio suffers as a character too. Book Ezio never seems to have that certain charisma that the in-game character had in excess.

The bottom line is that the book was a good way for me to pass a long wait in an airport, but if you've played the game, this book will not add any story elements or intriguing new thoughts to the Assassin's Creed universe.
I don't understand the few negative reviews this book got because I think this author did the best he could with the complex storyline of Assassin's Creed - especially this one since some people might not have bothered with the other two video games in the franchise that were for the DS (Altair's Chronicles) and the psp (Bloodline). Mr. Bowden combined the two stories very efficiently, in my opinion.

I've heard other people call this story 'unimaginative', but I didn't find it to be at all. Altair's personality is very understated in the original Assassin's Creed and I think the author did a good job giving us a look into his mind. We got to see where his arrogance actually came from. Besides that, we learned a bit more about his upbringing and learned the origins of the bad blood shared between him and Abbas.

It was only repetitive in the fashion that the game itself was. I didn't see fault with Mr. Bowden's direct approach to the events he was recounting in the story. It seems some people might have expected a little bit more of a diversion or a side story in between missions, but given the complexity of the story, it would have been a bit much. Still, the attempt was made with the scenes about Altair's childhood not to mention the narration of the story in the first place.

This was the first book in the series I bought because I wanted to read these chronologically. I'm still currently playing the games, still not having made it to the latest that just came out this past October, Assassin's Creed 3. Presently, I'm only on Brotherhood. With that said, I'm only wondering about the ending of this book.

I know we learn a little bit more about what happened to Altair in Revelations and I noticed that Mr. Bowden has written a book of that account as well. I'm wondering if the end of the book came from some of the information from that game. If so, that's a bit of a spoiler since I haven't even made it to that game yet. Either way, I found it very entertaining to learn what became of Altair's legacy, more or less.

I loved the original Assassin's Creed and I loved Altair's character. So reading this made me really nostalgic. I could see everything Mr. Bowden described with such clarity - everything from the fight scenes to the humorous scenes between him and Maria. Speaking of which, the author did a good job giving voice to Altair's budding attraction to her. It was something implied in the video game (Bloodline), but it was interesting for someone to take a crack at interpreting it into something realistic to Altair's character.

In the end, I was impressed with the story. Taking on something like this would have been daunting to me and I think Mr. Bowden did an exceptional job. Whatever hang ups some people might have with it, I think any true fan of Assassin's Creed would find it an enjoyable read. I look forward to reading Renaissance.
I HAVE NOT PLAYED ASSASSINS CREED!!

I keep hearing how great this series is so I decided to read about it instead of playing it. Now I have NO IDEA what the lore of the first game even is besides the whole Assassins vs Templars war, I don't even know how accurate this book is BUT for someone that does not know much I find this book REALLY interesting.

It is a little hard to read at first because of all the different foreign names the author throws at you, that it's hard to keep track of who is who and what their title is. But, once you get past that the lore is amazingly interesting. I have yet to finish the book ( I'm on chapter 29) but I am enjoying the world of assassins creed, the missions and the stealth and Altair is one awesome dude!! I find him to be a very interesting main! Can't wait to finish it!

So all in all I think this book is great (so far) 10/10
