Battling the Borgia
This game is fantastic, once again drawing you in to renaissance Italy.
Great story and this is where you really take the fight to the Borgia foiling their plot to take control of Rome and Italy as a whole.
Lots of good battles in this and some new weapons added into the mix.
There are some epic scenes and Leonardos war machines make for some interesting missions, taking down early designs on gatling guns and tanks.
Character inclusion is also very much expanded with such historic figures as Niccolo Machiavelli, Dante Alighieri, The Borgias and the return of Leonardo da Vinci.
Epic sequel

Best saga ever
I played the first Assassins Creed and thought it was great if a little repetetive, but this one oh wow.
They really stepped it up in terms of gameplay and story, this game felt so immersive.
Almost as if you were in renaissance Italy.
From the start in Florence to the middle part in Monteriggioni to the final part in Rome this game just draws you in.
Lots of interesting history to pick up as well from the Pazzi to the Borgias, and of course the interesting interjections from Leonardo da Vinci.
Requiescat in pace Ezio Auditore da Firenze.

Ya Ling is kidnapped from her well-off Chinese family and sold in to slavery in 15th century Italy. Mantegna, a Renaissance artist, buys her with money that he can't really afford to spend, and takes her home to a very disapproving wife and household.
Ya Ling is admirable calm and stoic through all of her trials and tribulations, and eventually work as a respected healer, as her family taught her back in China.
The author really makes you feel for the characters in her novel - pity and later pride for Ya Ling, and hatred for some of the less virtuous male characters. It's a book that reflects the times very well: men, and men in the church especially, hold all the cards. Women are held in very low esteem. And women who are in any way different from the accepted norms are in danger of the ecclesiastical courts.
I read this on 'The Pigeonhole', a social reading platform, and really enjoyed the whole experience.
