Black Flag

Got it in good condition, seems orginal and not a fake reprint. Basically covers the whole story of AC black flag. The first 100 or so pages tells the story of Edward being a farmer then going on his privateer voyage. Not to mention the aftermath of Edwards pirate life, especially for his family (no spoilers) which is not shown in the game.

Engaging from the start...looses pace only towards the last few chapters, Assassin creed black flag tells the story of Edward Kenway. The book is set during the golden age of piracy and narrative is focused completely from Kenway's perspective. For the fans of the series, I would like to inform that no were in the novel th talks of Animus and its simulation happens at all. While the game starts with you getting into a shoes of an Abestergo Employee and then experiencing Edward Kenway's life as a simulation. This makes the story of the novel very focused and straight forward. Ahoy mates, give this book a shot along with a swig of Rum :)

This book is good but a bit childish like superman or batman stories.

Awesome

Hoch die Segel und Feuer frei

O livro veio em Inglês, na visualização eu tinha visto um em português.

I have read a couple other of the Assassin's Creed books by Oliver Bowden and I am pleased with how much the author himself seems to have developed, alongside of the AC world and its characters. I applaud the organic feeling that he brings to Edward, a natural, believable swagger that reflects the character in the game, as well as the sights and sounds of the era. It was absolutely wonderful to get the details of the back story, prior to the events in the game proper. I felt that the author took his time developing the characters, so that by the time we got into the familiar territory of the game setting, I was getting to look at the characters and the events with a new, more in-depth perspective. With this, I feel like I was better able to understand certain aspects of Edward that I didn't while playing the game. I do have a small nitpick and I hope it's not too much of a spoiler to say that this book did feel a little incomplete at the end (similar to the let-down I felt with the very limited perspective of Connor at the end of AC:Forsaken). It seemed to just abruptly end. There is an entire chapter of Edward's life left untold by both the book and the game and I found that a little frustrating, especially given how completely we finally get to see the beginning of Edward's journey in this book. It would have been nice to carry that momentum on and to see the events that happened once Edward returned to England, and to see the kind of work for the Assassin Order Edward did in those later years, before Haytham was born. But all in all, this was a great read and a fine addition to the AC universe.

If you enjoy the video games you will enjoy how these books fill in the backstory. Good read.
