Book #6

"Black Flag (Assassin's Creed #6)" by Oliver Bowden

Rating: ♦ ♦ ♦

Edward Kenway was being an arrogant, selfish, greedy prick for good 3/4 of the book, so for once, I didn't feel sorry for the main character when he got his ass kicked because he needed to be taken down a peg or three. And even knowing his fate - see book #5 - I didn't shed a tear for him. He wasn't evil, but he also wasn't a saint against whom the fate conspired, he caused much grief and that had to have consequences, he deserved what he got.

What I did like was how the author made famous historical figures like Blackbeard, Mary Read, Anne Bonny or Black Bart, places like Nassau or Havana, a part of the story. For that Bowden gets a thumb up!
