Hands down, the best Star Wars novel I've read to date...this would have been great even without the movie. It's rare for me to read a book after seeing a movie it is based on, but I have a tradition of doing that with Star Wars movies/novelizations Freed succeeds tremendously by very strong charact...

The last time I reviewed a Star Wars movie novelization, I mentioned how books based on movies rarely outshine the theatrical production. Rule, meet exception. I loved the Rogue One movie. I had problems with it and didn’t think it was the best Star Wars movie ever (it’s not even in my top three...

I still feel like I'd be lost in the Dragon Age mythology: this introduces us to very specific characters, and gives a pretty vague sense of the world. I'm still not sure how the Dragons work in this world, why they follow Yavana, why Yavana looks after them, and so forth. I know the small cast o...

These are four separate stories, one of which was two issues long. I've seen another review saying this works best if you've read some of the expanded universe - EU - comics before this, so maybe this was why it didn't work for me. I stumbled upon these on Marvel Unlimited - MU - though, and wan...

They are aided by the Tevinter mage, Maevaris, as they track down the evil Titus who has captured Maric for t...

I'm a Dragon Age fan - so of course I loved this collection of comics from the Dragon Age Universe. It's an interesting look at where the Dragon Age story is going from here - another Witch of the Wilds, the fate of the Dragons (the real ones, not the Archdemons). I'm not completely sure I understan...

I came into this at a disadvantage because I'd never played the video game or learned anything about the Dragon Age world before picking up this book. I enjoyed it, but I imagine I would have enjoyed it more had I been familiar with the world and the characters. I felt like I was thrown into a story...

My very first graphic novel review! Where do I begin? Dragon Age: The Silent Grove is set after the Fifth Blight (Dragon Age I) and follows Alistair, king of Fereldand (Dragon Age: Origins) and Isabela the pirate captain and Varric the ground dwarf from Dragon Age II. Alistair is forced to work with...

Ohkay. Dragon Age: The Silent Grove. Another video game inspired graphic novel. I can’t say that I hate the idea of reading more about a game I enjoyed playing but most of the time the stories end up disappointing me. In Dragon Age: The Silent Grove we follow the footsteps of Alistair who is to beco...

The Silent Grove is graphic novel set in the Dragon Age universe, written by the same man who was the main writer of the games, David Gaider, along with Alexander Freed and Chad Hardin. If you've read this site at all, you know I loved Dragon Age: Origins and it's related content, and came around o...
