Surprisingly good for a tie-in novel. Take away the assassin's creed-ness of it and you would just have a historical/spy fiction novel that is strong enough to stand on its own. There is good balance between action and intrigue and the characters have clear and distinct motivations so they don't get lost in the crowd. I really thought this was going to be more trashy than it was based on my previous experience with tie in books but I'm so pleasantly surprised and satisfied that this provided a compelling experience. The first half is considerably better in my opinion given it provides something more original but I still had a good time the whole way through

After such a great gameplay, this book was disappointing. The emotions fell flat, and the romantic part made me cringe so hard. While enjoy the learning more about Henry Green in the beginning of the book, there were so many holes in the part that were covered in the game. Perhaps it's intentional?

Really fun read but I don’t remember it more then that so I have to give it a 3. As I remember it, the story and action scenes were pretty nice but the characters maybe not developed enough to make me read more and remember them that much

I got the most important part of the book and had to give the book back.

I really enjoyed this. My mum actually saw this in our local bookshop and very kindly got it for me - I absolutely loved the game (Assassin's Creed: Syndicate) so was interested when I saw there was a book. It was a fun, entertaining read and it was interesting to learn abit more about some of the characters. If you enjoyed the game you would probably like this.
