I was looking to buy a book based on the Assassin's Creed game series, but a list for assassination theme on Goodreads put The Night Angels Trilogy on top based on ratings.

I am not disappointed.

This is a great book, and the author, despite some flaws (someone mentioned the use of the word "fuck" on a declaration of love and redemption, but there's also the fantasy elements that are not fully explained), is a great writer. When a character took an action, I was left wondering the consequences. There was just enough context to let my imagination run wild, rooting for the outcomes, and visualizing the consequences. I closed the book and kept wondering what will happen.

Near the end there were too many twists, like the ending of a Scooby-doo episode. Suddenly the monster is the janitor, who becomes the son of the owner of the haunted amusement park. And for no good reason: When you accept what drove a character decision, things were turned upside down.

But I can't wait to read the next two books in the series. Kylar is fantastic. Dorian, Feir and Solon are fantastic. And Durzo Blint has the best one-liners I've read in a while.
