I honestly didn't have high expectations of The Stolen Throne - the other book I read by the author, Asunder, was on a topic that I found much more interesting, and reading it still felt like a drag. The Stolen Throne was a pleasant surprise though! While it definitely suffered from a bit too much t...

Muuuuuch better than I thought it would be, having read some of Bioware's Mass Effect books. A little slow in places but eh, it was nice to get a good background story on some of the characters. The only thing is, I'm now conflicted over how I feel about Loghain Mac Tir. Meeting this determined, dec...

All right, fine, I admit it: I love this book. I'm not sure why, but I do. Gaider's writing is nice and clear and blunt, but nothing special. The plot isn't anything special, either--very typical fantasy fare. And the addition of a certain elf into their party, when I know everything about Dragon Ag...

This book is proof that someone who can write a great video game does not mean they can write a great novel. I loved the Dragon Age games and was excited to begin reading the books. No...Just no.The writing was awful. There were so many inconsistencies, I was beginning to wonder if it had even been ...

I’ve recently finished two playthroughs of Dragon Age: Origins and in both, my Warden permitted the same fate for Loghain Mac Tir. It was the fate deserving of his crime, but I never could appreciate the reasoning given for that crime as there seemed to be much more to Loghain. Hence my need to read...

Audiobook Review at the EndIf you're a fan of the Dragon Age games/universe - read this book. The book is a prequel following Maric Theiric (King Cailan's Father) as he fights to restore Ferelden's independence from the invading Orlesian Empire.My favorite part of this novel was Loghain's backstory,...

Secondo me per leggere questo libro bisogna aver giocato a Dragon Age: Origins. Certo, non è obbligatorio, ma alcune cose si capiscono meglio ed è più facile dare un volto a personaggi ben noti nel gioco come Flemmeth o Loghain (anche se Loghain è molto più giovane in questo libro!). Il libro non...

Iniziamo col dire che mi aspettavo di peggio. La scrittura non è male, niente di spettacolare per carità però non è scritto malaccio e scorre veloce soprattutto contando che non è stato scritto da un vero e proprio scrittore ma da uno sceneggiatore per videogiochi. La trama è una cosa diversa, purtr...

The Stolen Throne (Dragon Age, #1) by David Gaider My rating: 4 of 5 stars I really love the game Dragon Age and wanted to read the corresponding novels. I did not have high expectation, though since the story of the game itself is great, I did hope it would be good. I actually enjoyed the book a g...

This is going to sound really nerdy, but I do love game lore. I love it a lot. Books based on video games aren’t always all that good, but I’m not reading them for the award-winning writing. I pick them up for what they bring to the table in terms of the back story and character development. It’s wh...
