Assassin’s Creed: Assassins Volume 2 – Setting Sun
Synopsis:
Charlotte De La Cruz is in way over her head. With the realization that she is now deep in trouble with the Templars, her only hope is to unravel the mystery of what they want from her… and to do that she needs the Animus. Diving into the memories of her Inca ancestor, Quila, she is desperate for a clue, a link, anything that might point towards a little more… knowledge.
Review:
Charlotte and her Assassin colleagues, Galina and Kody, are on the run in Mexico, as she investigates her ancestor for clues to the present day. Her ancestor is an a young Inca woman who gets involved in a large conspiracy. The story jumps back and forth from modern day to the ancient Inca Empire. Quila’s story is fascinating and thrilling, set in the impressive, ancient empire.
What I love about these Assassin’s Creed stories is the dual layer of mystery and intrigue. What we learn from the past affects the present day’s adventure. The characters in this series of comics are new – Charlotte having the main focus. I would love to see more of Galina and Kody fleshed out. I highly recommend this exciting, fast-paced series to fans of the saga. I’m not a gamer, but I love the books, comics, and movie. It’s a rich world of possible stories, blending historic fiction and science fiction.
