Assassin's Creed: Heresy - Special Edition Hardcover – Special Edition, November 15, 2016

This book was incredible. The author wrote so much, and when I set the font to "Droid Sherif" the total page count was almost 4,500 pages. The characters were extremely well written, and everything was thought out. There were quite a few twists that I did not see coming. I would recommend this book to anyone, Assassin's Creed fan or not. The author is very good at explaining the Assassin-Templar War to anyone who is not familiar with the series. I have been reading the Assassin's Creed comics, but this has kicked every other written work out of the ballpark. I would completely recommend this book.

First I'm a huge fan of the Assassin Creed games. I have owned and played every one of the Xbox 360 console & Xbox One games released. So I picked up on a lot of the background story that the author put in for fans like me and I loved that. It really seamed the author was a fan herself and wrote to me the fan.Secondly, I am a huge history buff and this book seemed well researched of names, places, dates, & events that any Joan of Arc enthusiast would like.Last, great read, I couldn't put it down or if I did I couldn't wait to pick it back up. The ending really left it open for a sequel & I would totally buy and read that book in a heartbeat.

I like it as read but it look some have misprinted part such as Page 130 where it goes "Gabriel simply shook his head. His hands werefvfv

It was a great book and I love the joan of arc... well... ARC hahaha great book read this before the film

As a fan of this franchise from the very beginning, this story was a lot of fun. It also made me want to learn about Joan of Arc. Fascinating stuff!

Amazing plot twist! No spoilers but wow - this is a terrific book (and finally something for the Templar folks!). Loved it - hope there is a sequel?

I greatly enjoyed the story and the writing, i would be very curious to know more of what happens to the main character.

This is a prequel to the "Assassin's Creed" movie. There are two reasons that I cannot rate it higher.1. Poor editing. Words are missing and misspelled. Shifts to new scenes without any clear indication.2. Proves the movie is not independent of the video games and other books. It is a continuation of something millions of people know nothing about.Simon Hathaway enters the Animus to discover the secrets that surround a sword alleged to be used by Joan of Arc.The explanation given is lackluster. The final twist given before the epilogue is not that great...but getting there is intriguing--I will not subtract more points this time.

Buen producto, llegó intacto y antes de la fecha de entrega

They should make a game from that

Present but look ok

Christie Golden hat geballt im Zeitraum 2015/16 für AC geschrieben; leider bislang nichts weiteres, denn sie gehört definitiv zu den besten Schreibern. Ihr Abstergo Employee Handbook ist eine unterhaltsame Variante eines „Art of“-Buchs und enthält die Storyline um Robert Fraser, die in „Heresy“ mehrfach erwähnt wird. Sie hat ihr Möglichstes mit dem Film-Tie-in getan; Tie-ins sind einfach eine undankbare, da unkreative Aufgabe für jeden Autoren, aber Golden brachte eine nette eigenständige Note durch die Regressions-Kurzgeschichten ein, in denen wir altbekannte Charaktere in neuen Situation wiedertreffen. (Und ihr Blackbeard-Journal habe ich bislang noch nicht gelesen, also hier keine Anmerkung dazu.)„Heresy“ ist, soweit ich weiß, neben „Desert Oath“ der einzige Erwachsenenroman des AC-Universums, der keine Adaption eines spezifischen Spiels darstellt. („Forsaken“, „Unity“ und „Underworld“ des Tie-in-Opfers Oliver Bowden sind Hybride.) Er erzählt eine ganz neue Geschichte, mit zahlreichen Querverweisen zu „Unity“, „Syndicate“, dem AC-Film und „Last Descendants“. Weniger actionreich als manchem AC-Fan vielleicht lieb ist, konzentriert sich „Heresy“ ganz auf seine Charaktere und ihre Welt, und das ungemein erfolgreich. In der Gegenwartshandlung dürfen zur Abwechslung einmal die Templer glänzen, als dreidimensionale Charaktere mit sehr unterschiedlichen Motivationen statt als die schurkisch dreinblickenden Pappkameraden, die sie in allen Spielen außer AC III, Rogue und vielleicht Unity sein müssen. Auch die Vergangenheitshandlung erweist sich am Ende als sehr viel komplexer als zunächst gedacht.Zigmal gelesen, und neben „Last Descendants“ immer noch mein absoluter Favorit unter den AC-Romanen.

I'll start off with an admission of the fact that I am an Assassin's Creed fan. This was a great book. It tells the tale of Joan of Arc within the Assassin's Creed universe. It tells a new story and does not exist in any of the games but does tie in with the Assassin's Creed movie. The only downside to the novel is the flawed editing that have allowed many typos to make it to print.
