(if you don't already know, I can't explain it to ya.  lol)

At first blush, there's a lot to like here. Lots of info on the Chant of Light and Andraste's life. The section on the Hero of Ferelden mostly focuses upon Companions, including Duncan, and is predictably generic and vague regarding the character. Odd, given that the 'official' narrative is that of a female Dalish Elf who made the Ultimate Sacrifice and put Alastair on the throne.

The artwork has an Anime-like cartoonish quality to it that I'm not very fond of. It's off-putting after the serious, somber frescoes we've come to know and love.

And can't they ever get this shit right? In the section about Sten there's a kind of abbreviated passage referring to when he lost his sword, but they don't know if he died in the fight. Next paragraph speaks to the rumors of his becoming the new Arishok. WTF, y'all? Stop all the bullshit and fucking waffling and write an official narrative, will ya?
