Endless grinding needed to level up (0 more)
Ubisoft's 2017 entry in their Assassins Creed series; a series that, as time goes on, has seemingly become further and further disconnected from its original template - the whole animus concept (that allows a user to relive the memories of their ancestor), for instance, is now little but a side thought.

This particular entry is set in ancient Egypt, and introduces the character of Bayek the Medjay, who becomes responsible for the birth of the Assassins Brotherhood. Combat has been overhauled, with the series moving more into RPG territory than before and, at least to my mind, losing part of its identity as a result. I'm also not a fan of the endless grinding needed in order to advance levels with most of the main quests requiring Bayek to be at a certain level to have any chance of succeeding.

This is a great sequel to the first John Wick. After following him take revenge and being left without him getting his car this movie did not disappoint. There is a further insight into the world of assassins. Getting to see the expansion to another country gives us a good idea of how far this world of assassins actually expands. There is also a better understanding of the codes and ethics between each person in this world.
One thing that jumps out at me is that no one can truly leave. There will always be a connection that keeps them coming back even though no one can be trusted. Friends and caring relationships do not exist in this world but beneficial relationships can work temporarily.
This action packed gore fest pulls you through several gun fights that are not boring. You get pulled through several fast paced scenes that explain more to you than ever before.

Union spy Harrison Raines has returned home, ready to sit the rest of the Civil War out. But it's only August of 1862, and the battle is about to come to his Virginia plantation. Plus there's a murdered minister. Can Harrison figure out what is happening? Ironically, the battle slows down the book over all.

Collin Boyd is walking to work one day when he looks up to see…himself walking to work. Thus begins a wild and crazy fantasy adventure that involves assassins and secret conspiracies. Yes, a decided break from my normal mysteries, but the fast paced story kept me turning pages. Can't wait for the next two.

My favorite Assassin
I love the world Sarah creates! Fae, witches, demons, a prince, assassins, and magic! Throne of Glass is the start to this amazing series and it takes a little to get into it because there is so much you need to know about her past and all the characters and the world. The series gets better with each book you read.
