Reviews Literature / Assassins Creed IV Black Flag

Could be better...

It seems Forsaken will be a one-off. It was the only book of the series that tried something other than retell events in the game though it covered that eventually. Black Flag expands on Edward's pre-Assassin days and his courtship with his wife and some parts of his post-game life and this new material is not without interest and poignancy, indeed Edward's relationship with his parents is really sad and nice, but it does make his story pretty banal.

The resolution of the book on how Edward acquired his fortune is really disappointing as well, though its written well nor does it connect well with Jenny's equation to Edward in Forsaken. I wonder if the fact that material is being held back implies there is more to the Kenways.
