David McK (3906 KP) rated Assassins Creed: Mirage in Video Games

The Assassin's Creed games used to be a favourite of mine.

Until they drifted away from the formula, turning too much (IMO) intro a standard open-world game.

So at around about the time of AC: origins, then.

I still played Origins and (forced my way through) Odyssey, but heard bad things about Valhalla.

By this time, I was also getting fed up with having to spend over a year just to complete the story, so skipped Valhalla completely.

So I felt that the back-to-basics approach of Mirage was exactly what was needed to revive my interest in the series. I've also heard that this was originally meant to be an expansion to Valhalla; truth be told I'm glad that they didn't go down that route as otherwise I would have missed this one out completely.

There's no mention - like, at all - of the Animus in this, which purports to tell the back-story of Basim, who was (apparently) a character in Valhalla. I'd no knowledge of that beforehand; thankfully it also felt like that wasn't needed.

FIXER is a prequel novella in the Hidden Wolves series and features Wade and Dustin. Wade thinks Dustin killed his little brother, so please forgive him for not being too happy when he sees Dustin for the first time in seven years, and outside his window, of all places. Dustin didn't kill Shawn, but couldn't tell Wade, or the Alpha would have found out.

This is their story of how they come to be together, in a world where they're still not supposed to be! I haven't read any of the other books in this series, but am now curious to know what happens. It made a real change to read a book where two wolves who are mates felt absolutely no pressure to have a bond.

A great introduction for a new reader and definitely recommended by me.
