![]() ![]() Whatever he was trying to accomplish with this didn't work with the flow. ![]() My guess was that he tried for a dramatic effect with the pausing.but this is so awkwardly broken up, I can't even follow. Let me give an example.There is a moment it is anticipated that Talal is sending out men to attack Altair. ![]() But when it did, it reared it's ugly head, making me stop my reading to slap my hand to my face and break what little plot flow I managed to obtain. It didn't bug me too much since I had read the previous 2 books of his and was prepared. His mesh of different sentence structures didn't flow well during important events. But let's go ahead and explain in a paragraph how much Altair hates the smell of death to the point of vomiting (He's a Master Assassin for christssake! Why should the smell of rotting flesh affect him NOW as if it were his first encounter with the smell?) Sure! Let's find out that a certain major characters die in two sentences WITHOUT much description or reflection. Bowden glazes over key events that could've had more detail and keep my interest (like the missions themselves), yet describes the most peculiar events that could have done without heavy explanations. So the book is 7/8 a retelling of AC1 and the DS game, only an 1/8 is new content. *may contain mild but vague spoilers, I won't go into detail* ![]() Okay, I have JUST finished reading the book. ![]()
