Publisher's summary

The Ming dynasty becomes a battleground for the Brotherhood of Assassins and the Order of the Templars in this blockbuster action novel from a previously unexplored part of the beloved Assassin's Creed universe.

China, 16th century. The Assassins are gone. Zhang Yong, the relentless leader of the Eight Tigers, took advantage of the emperor's death to eliminate all his opponents, and now the Templars hold all the power. Shao Jun, the last representative of her clan, barely escapes death and has no choice but to flee her homeland. Vowing to avenge her former brothers in arms, she travels to Europe to train with the legendary Ezio Auditore. When she returns to the Middle Kingdom, her saber and her determination alone will not be enough to eliminate Zhang Yong: She will have to surround herself with allies and walk in the shadows to defeat the Eight Tigers.

not exactly AC story but close enough

I was a bit disappointed that there wasn't a whole lot of assassins creed about this. just some things thrown in here and there. but! the story still had connections to the AC world and was just a great story told overall. the narration is ok but every male voice was the same so was hard to differentiate most times but she does have a soothing voice so I didn't mind most times.

Hard to get through

the story is just OK, the narration in monotone the entire time. it was very hard to not stop it and continue with the next book.

Not a assassin's Creed book

Though set in the same world and mentioning some key characters. This is a heavy departure from the world of assassin's Creed and the other books, the the narrator has a good voice and clear to understand, but her attempts at other voices pulls me out of the world. And the story is filled with a large amount of filler and unnecessary details that serve no purpose to the story. But that part that really breaks it for me is the extreme emphasis and reliance on energy bending and powers and super human abilities Making it feel alien to the world of assassin's Creed

It might be better in print but not so great as an audiobook.

Maybe it’s just me…

Honestly I couldn’t get through the whole book.

I found the narration to be irritating. As the narrator telling the story, using her own voice it was tolerable but when speaking as a character it sounded like she was gritting her teeth, especially as a male character when her voice became so low it was difficult to hear.

It might be easier to follow the story without the low, rumbled mumble of the male characters.
