About this listen
The war between Assassins and Templars wreaks havoc in the Victorian era, in this breakneck thriller which opens up a whole new chapter of the Assassin’s Creed universe
London, 1851—When Pierette, a daring acrobat performing at the Great Exhibition, rescues the mathematician Ada Lovelace from a gang of thugs, she becomes immersed in an ancient feud between Assassins and Templars. But Lovelace is gravely ill, and shares her secrets with Pierette, sending the acrobat in search of a terrible weapon–the Engine of History–which she’d been developing for a shadowy figure known as “the Magus”. Pierette’s only ally is Simeon Price, Lovelace’s childhood friend who belongs to a Brotherhood devoted to freedom. With Simeon’s aid, they uncover a startling web of political assassinations destabilizing Europe. As they race to foil the Templars’ deadly plot, murders and bombs are everywhere they look, but hope is nowhere in sight.

First my grievances, I only have two and I just want to get them out of the way. One grievance is the pacing of the story, it is slow without much action. If you were looking something akin to the video game then this is not the book for you. That being said the story has great depth and it's very compelling in it's uniqueness. I enjoyed the setting and the time which is during the Crimean War in Europe the 1850s.
My second grievance is with the protagonist Simeon Price. It seems that in the first half of the book he has all of these internal struggles brought on by his own insecurity. He seems like a beta male desperately trying to be an alpha male and he's not pulling it off. I understand that archetypal Hero has a journey but this guy seems rather whiny and about a solid as wet spaghetti. I could think of a thousand different other character types to replace this guy with that would make the story much more compelling to counter and enhance its slow pace. in terms of the video game if Simeon Price ever came up against someone like Shay Cormac, Price is dead meat.
What I like about the book is the setting. The 1850s are unique time with the Crimean War the changes going on in Europe and the author using factual events such as the 8 who were killed and 142 wounded in Paris in a failed assassination attempt on Napoleon III, Emperor of the French (1858).
The authors use of description and the care she takes it crafting a unique story to the Assassin's Creed canon is unique and I am glad that I read this book despite my two criticisms.
Overall I will recommend this book if you like Assassin's Creed especially if you are looking for interesting and compelling storytelling. if you were looking for an action comic book type story this will not be for you. it reminds me of the StarWars Andor series and the criticisms around that. Andor is a well-crafted albeit slow story that is unlike the regular Star Wars movies but it's depth and pacing are similar to Assassin's Creed Magus Conspiracy.
I give the book a B-.
Slow, but interesting

The narrator is exceptionally good! She was fantastic in Sword Of The White Horse, as well. I am positive that her performances on any book she does will be top notch.
Great Book
