Sometimes writing a book of a video game is a bad idea. However, this book wasn’t that bad as I thought it would be. As long as you have played the games and you are a fan of them, this book will work for you.

This is the first book in the Assassin’s Creed series. If you want to compare this book to the video games than this book is basically Assassin’s Creed II (game) and not the first one as you would think.

This book are a good book, when you want to just turn off your brain and read something which is both fantasy and involves some couple historical figures and events in it.However the most historical events are given to us as memories of the characters which have some bigger part of this book.

In the end this book isn’t a great literature piece. But it is rather a extra content to the video games.

Action in this book are basically the same as it is in Assassin’s Creed II (game), and if you will rather read it than play it than you won’t miss out on anything for the most part.

Characters here are actually better described than in the games. And I liked them much more in this book than in the video games.

The writing style is very poor. But it is sort of how it ends when you write a book based of video games. The best way to describe the writing style is, that it sorts of reminds me of a game narration.

Silly and cringe parts in this book are also on point. I’m not talking about anything else than the dialogs between Ezio and the girl he has a crush on.

The ending is even more silly than the dialogs between Ezio and the girl. It is so silly and cringe that it becomes laughable.

Everyone who is a fan of the video games will more or less appreciate this book, even though it isn’t the best.

Beginning of this book was interesting, the middle was okay, and after this it went completely downhill. However I will say that this book will help you to understand more the games, if you didn’t pay much attention while you were playing or if you don’t remember much from them.

If you like fantasy books with some historical events or figures you will more or less enjoy this book. And you will have a fun time reading this book.

I give this book 2 / 5

Necromancers, revenants, even a summoned demon or two – they’re all in a day’s work for the men of the Echo Team and their enigmatic leader, Cade Williams. But nothing could prepare them for the fury they are about to face…When a Jesuit priest wanders out of the New Mexico desert, telling wild stories about a secret research installation and bloodthirsty demons hunting through its halls, the Echo Team is called in to deal with the situation. Their orders – investigate the facility, determine exactly what happened there, and deal with any infernal presence that might exist.But the being they encounter there beneath the desert sands has found a way to break the bonds of Hell itself and doesn’t plan on going back easily. This time, their foe might prove to be too much for even the best the Templars have to offer.

A Scream of Angels is the second book in the “The Templar Chronicles”. And the whole series is kind of a Paranormal Fantasy type of series. There are demons, ghouls, swords swat team which can fight against the paranormal, etc in this series.

This book isn’t an advanced read, its rather a relaxing and fun read. Which you may want to get after you read something very heavy.  Generally this book isn’t a good book but it isn’t either a bad book, mostly it is an okay book.

This book is interesting but it’s not even close to what I’ve expected from it. This book is fun to read but it also have a lot of boring or even cringe parts every now and then. It isn’t a big deal after all.

The writing style is for the most part decent, it isn’t bad but it isn’t good either. There are some moments which made me feel like it could have been written better. There are also stuff which have would better instead of the stuff which was actually written in the book. In the end these are small things but together they are actually not so small. However this book or the book series isn’t for the most part meant for someone PH.D degree, but rather for teens who likes to read.

There are couple of plot holes in this book. an example can be the mirror-traveling-ish. There are a lot of magic in this book which I found confusing and hard to follow with. One of the main plot holes which blow my mind was at the beginning of the book when one of the main characters magically healed out of nowhere after being injured and almost dying

The characters are okay. Most of them were like pretty okay, they weren’t interesting enough but there weren’t neither completely trashy.  The main characters was some kind of better than the side characters. Because you could feel the relationship which they had with each other.

This whole book feels like something which kids in grade school would read. But it also works fine for adults who are starting their adventure with fantasy books or books in general. Because it is an easy to understand book and you don’t need to have PH.D degree in fantasy knowledge to like and understand this book. It is a good book when you want to shut down your brain and just relax for a moment.

This book works fine as long as you don’t question anything which is happening in this book. Stupid decisions taken by the characters is also something to keep in mind if you considering to read this book.

The story itself feels like it was used somewhere, but in the end it is good and pretty interesting overall.

This book gets 2 / 5
