Assassin's Creed: Renaissance Free Audiobook Download by Oliver Bowden
This, the ninth volume in the Assassin's Creed audiobooks and the first of a two-volume narrative, is set in 15th-century Florence. Florence is in the throes of deep religious upheaval as a result of the Protestant Reformation. The Assassins, who have been peacekeepers for centuries, are gradually losing control over their city and much of Italy to these upstarts. At the same time as this turmoil, there is also an escalating conflict with the Ottoman Empire across Europe.
Assassin's Creed: Renaissance is the second of two prequel books in a new series called The Fall. It tells the story of how Ezio Auditore, father to series protagonist Desmond, lost his arm then subsequently his life as he became an assassin. It also provides in-depth information on Florentine society during the 14th century.
The Renaissance of the Assassin's Creed series is one of the most highly anticipated releases this year. The first book, Assassin's Creed: Discovery, was a game changer and introduced many new players to the world of Assassins across the globe. With Renaissance, we have a more intimate tale about Ezio and his journey through Italy. It is narrated by Gildart Jackson, who does an incredible job in bringing this historical time period alive for listeners.
Gildart Jackson is the narrator for this audiobook, which is read by Oliver Bowden. This fiction book tells the story of Aveline, a young woman who was discovered in a guard's quarters in Seville as an infant and has lived her entire life as a street urchin. She becomes a spy after she is recruited by Juan Sánchez-Vargas to find out who killed his father and how to stop them.
Listening to this audiobook was an interesting experience. Gildart Jackson did a great job narrating it and brought these characters to life. I would definitely recommend this audiobook for anyone interested in Reformation history.
The Assassin's Creed: Renaissance is one of the best Assassin's Creed games to date. It has an immersive story line, incredible voice acting by Gildart Jackson, and adds a whole new layer in terms of gameplay that makes this game worth playing over and over again.
