Publisher's summary

The library holds not only hidden knowledge but also the most unsettling secret the world has ever known, a secret the Templars hope to use to control humankind's destiny. Five keys are needed to access the library-to find them, Ezio must travel to the troubled city of Constantinople, where a growing army of Templars threatens to destabilize the Ottoman Empire. Walking in the footsteps of his predecessor, Altaïr, Ezio must defeat the Templars for the final time. The stakes have never been higher, and what started as a pilgrimage has become a race against time.

I love this series

The voice actor is great and delivers so much more that text simply cannot. An excellent story behind the video game

Great story if you're a fan of the games

I really enjoyed listening to more of Ezio's journey in audiobook form. If you're a fan of the games it's definitely worth a listen.

Worth the listen.

This rating is within the context of Assassin’s Creed. If you are unfamiliar with the games and story of Ezio leading up to this book, you will not find the same appreciation for it as others. Ezio’s story deserves as much detail as possible and I’m glad they created these books as supplemental material to the games. I love that they brought Altair back and gave him more significance than just the first game. I found Gildart pleasant to listen to and his pace fine. If you enjoy the original Assassin’s Creed realm, don’t hesitate.

So much more Revelations!

Amazing, it is a stand alone and tells so much and more about the story of Etsio.
Has a lot of action and back stories to what we have seen in the games and a lot of wise moments.
Ending was fantastic too!

Great end

lole it it it it it it it it it is I can love iy

Great book!

I enjoyed the whole series but this was the best of them all. Very well narrated and a catching story. I love the description and use of historical figures and places. Excellent!

Good book

Good book I wish Audible had the rest of the series. But they do not have them only one through 4.

Better than I was expecting

A great conclusion to this series, was very well done. Better than I thought it would be

COULDVE BEEN GREAT

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

YES, ONLY IF THE FIRST 3 WERE READ ALREADY. IT TIES IN ALL THE LOOSE ENDS WELL ENOUGH FOR A WELL ROUNDED PICTURE OF EZIO'S WORLD.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

SPOILER ALERT.... I WOULDVE STRETCHED OUT EZIO'S TWILIGHT YEARS WITH HIS BOOK WRITING OR AT THE VERY LEAST WOULDVE SHOWED HIM AS A REAL MENTOR INSTEAD OF JUST BEING CALLED A MENTOR.

Have you listened to any of Gildart Jackson’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

EASILY HIS BEST PERFORMANCE. HE FINALLY FIGURED HE HAD TO ADD A LITTLE *UMF* WHILE READING THE ACTION SEQUENCES!

Any additional comments?

IF YOU'VE GONE THIS FAR INTO THE SERIES, KEEP IT GOING.. IT BEATS PLAYING THE GAMES TO CATCH UP..

surprised

Where does Revelations rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

out of what I've bought it ranks around the middle depending on my mood.

What other book might you compare Revelations to and why?

i dont feel i have a large enough collection yet to draw a decent comparison but like the halo series its very well fleshed out

Which character – as performed by Gildart Jackson – was your favorite?

Etzio

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

no

Any additional comments?

not critizing the vocal talent but more the story this is a long title and perhaps the real draw back to it is the game it is based on. i can easily listen to Halo by Bear and the hours scream by. But that is a much more action based title and game. I have to be in a more relaxed mood to listen to this title but the same has to be applied to playing the game for me. i do think it would have benifited more if the vocal talent had had the oppertunity to voice more characters.
