A review by blossommaisie
Assassin's Creed Odyssey by Gordon Doherty
4.0
Based on the popular game of the same name this follows Kassandra a descendant of Leonidas, last hero of Sparta.
I admit that I haven't played the game myself but have enjoyed watching playthroughs of it. this hindered my enjoyment of the novel somewhat as not only introductions, actions and dialogue were changed. Especially the scenes with Akibidies. Another thing that hindered my enjoyment was that entire sections of the novel where certain events are to occur are skipped over despite in the Glossary stating their names and purpose, especially the Cultist Diona.
Although I did thoroughly enjoy the descriptions and fight scenes. Kassandra was a great character to be in the head - badass, brave and wields her spear with a deadly accuracy.
