Why read it?

1 author picked Assassin's Creed as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I liked this book for the most part due to its connection to the Assassin's Creed Valhalla and Assassin's Creed Mirage video games. This book filled in the gaps between the two games and added to the stories of Basim Ibn Ishaq and his apprentice/main character of the book, Hytham through their journey in Constantinople.

The book showcases their relationship within the Assassin's Brotherhood and even plants the seeds regarding Basim's true nature and Hytham eventual discovery of his mentor's honest desire.
