Assassin's Creed: Forsaken

Assassin's Creed: Forsaken

Notes on the First Quarter

The main character is called Haytham, an Arabic name for a British boy
The chapters are divided in sections, that vary in number respect to the length of the chapter itself
It is like the other main characters of the series that assist to their father's death from such a tender age
Different because the main character is neared to the order of the Templars instead of the creed of the Assassins
He changes place frequently: he moves around Europe to fond his kidnapped sister
This child is very unlucky because the parents have died and the sister has disappeared from many years now
He is now a Templar knight, very strange for a book called Assassin's creed, but also because the arch-enemies of the Assassins are the Templars

Notes on the Second Quarter

The book is also very strange because the son, Haytham is a Templar; the father instead is an Assassin
Lot of writing
Lot of description
There isn't a lot of dialogue between the characters of the book
Many settings; they go in many places like in France, in Spain, in the Czech Republic, in England, in the island of Corsicôa, in Italy, in many cities of The New World also known as America and many other ones
There isn't a lot of action in this book
The book begins to become more descriptive with less action

Notes on the Third Quarter

There is less action in the book
The scene changes completely to America where they help natives held prisoners free from the English troops
They want to find a temple that should contain something of incredible from the infinite powers
Main character starts having feelings for a woman, a native woman
The main character finds and sees a known historical person by the name of George Washington
The main character starts understanding what has happened the night of his father's murder and wants to do the same thing that was done to his family that night to the people who put in act the whole ambush to the house

Notes on the Last Quarter

Lots of action in this last part of the book: very fascinating and interesting
Liked how the Templar and Assassin forces unites to form an indestructible team but hated when they fought and eventually one of them died
Oliver Bowden is a fantastic author
Fantastic finale of the book
Liked how this fantasy story intersects with real history the American revolution in this case
At the last part there is the epilogue in which the narration is switched to Connor, Haytham's son
All the story is in a journal done by the main narrator and it is all for his son to show him who he really was and not who the false image of him in Connor's head
