Synopsis

The official novelization based on the popular video game franchise.
They call her misthios—mercenary—and she will take what she is owed.

Kassandra was raised by her parents to be fierce and uncaring, the ideal Spartan child, destined for greatness. But when a terrible tragedy leaves her stranded on the isle of Kephallonia, near Greece, she decides to find work as a mercenary, away from the constraints of Sparta.

Many years later, Kassandra is plagued by debt and living under the shadow of a tyrant when a mysterious stranger offers her a deal: assassinate the Wolf, a renowned Spartan general, and he will wipe her debt clean. The offer is simple, but the task is not, as she will need to infiltrate the war between Athens and Sparta to succeed.

Kassandra's odyssey takes her behind enemy lines and among uncertain allies. A web of conspiracy threatens her life, and she must cut down the enemies that surround her to get to the truth. Luckily, a Spartan's blade is always sharp.Contains mature themes.

Goodreads review by Laney on November 27, 2018

I liked it, but I think I would've liked it more had I read it before I played the game. It took me over 100 hours to complete the game, and Gordon Doherty managed to hit every major plot point in 381 pages. While it's an impressive feat, it left the story feeling extremely rushed. One of the three......more

2.5 stars. I'll be brief because honestly I don't have much to say. I haven't played the game yet, because I was wary of its length, structure and more RPG-oriented gameplay, but as I'm currently playing Origins and I'm ejoying the changes thus far, I thought maybe I should give Odyssey a try in the......more
