A review by redbirdwings
Assassin's Creed Odyssey (the Official Novelization) by Gordon Doherty

5.0

After reading a few reviews and finishing the book myself, I fully understand why readers were dissatisfied with this book. After playing the game, this book is no more than a summary of the game's events with quite a few significant discoveries all within the last twenty or so pages. There were a few scenes that I never experienced when I played through the story, but this could be due on the choices I made within the game myself.

However, this is a great book for someone who wants to know the story of Assassin's Creed: Odyssey and does not have the desire or ability to play the game themselves. Despite some of the issues I have with the book, such as Kassandra's lack of personality, the characters and story that make the game so good are present within the pages.

(Although I do highly recommend the game, especially if you're disappointed with the ending here.)
