Technically isn't it The Book in which You Are the Assassin - The Silk Road not Assassin's Creed: The Silk Road? Lacrossedeamon (talk) 20:40, 27 August 2021 (UTC)
- I believe so, at least according to Google Translate and what I remember of high school French class. As I had said when adding the book to the the AC series page, "Taking liberty with title translation (can be changed later), since "AC: Where you are the Assassin: The Silk Road" doesn't seem quite right". To me, it's a clunky title, and I feel "The book in which..." should have been the subtitle instead or in a star on the cover, like a <<Limited Edition! 8 Color Photos!>> type thing. – Darman (talk) 03:20, 28 August 2021 (UTC)
Late edit just to add: the reason I feel the title is clumsy is because the whole point of AC media, particularly the books and games more than the comics (at least, what I've read), is that we can relive the life of an Assassin, whether the POV is from imagination when reading or on-screen events. Saying "The book in which..." thus to me feels like stating the obvious. – Darman (talk) 10:30, 28 August 2021 (UTC)
