Oliver Bowden hasn't proven to me that he can capture the beauty of this world in his previous books. For young fans this would be a good read, but for the people who have really immersed themselves in the Assassin's Creed world and it's history will not enjoy the lack of detail, character development, and weak immersion.
I bought the first two books, but will not be buying any more because I just don't feel like their worth getting as they don't improve the love, they devalue it.
