I really love the assassins creed games so I was a little worried I wouldn’t like this book.
I was not disappointed the writing was beautifully done and the world was spot on I’m really glad I requested the ARC.

As always I want to start by saying that I was given a copy of this to review. My review is honest and left voluntarily and avoids spoilers. #AconyteBooks #TheDesertThreat #YanLeisheng #AssassinsCreedNovel #Netgalley
The Desert Threat sees Yan Leisheng continue their masterful exploration of Shao Jun in this Assassin’s Creed novel. I adored the Ming Storm which highlighted the skill and mastery Leisheng has over creating a superb tie in and The Desert Treat continues this tradition, arguable taking it to new heights. I have always loved the Assassin’s Creed universe but Leisheng truly brings it to life, capturing with great historical accuracy the world that was.
Leisheng blends action, adventure, intrigue and character depth into a superb novel that is hard to put down. The writing flows beautifully and it is easy to get carried away into the world Shao Jun lives. This book is a must for lovers of historical fiction, intrigue, super characters and of course the Assassin’s Creeds universe. It is hard to comment more on the plot without spoilers but I must say you will not be disappointed by this one, one bit!

The Desert Threat
A well-known series and a well written book to accompany it. I was impressed with the descriptive work which set the scence in this book. A-Qian has a with his big sister and this is shown through. Yan Leisheng focuses on Shao Jun in this Assassin's Creed novel series, building on a good foundation to once again deliver a great reading experience. With fluid dialogue and an engaging story, it's definitely something to read over and over again.

In general I really like the Assassin's Creed novels but this one was not one of my favourites.
It takes place in Ancient Mongolia in 16th century CE and our main hero Shao Jun is the main focus of the story. The book is action packed but as with the previous one of this series I am really confused by the names and their roles. It is full of political intrigue and it is well written, which I really enjoyed.
