One of the best pieces of Dragon Age media in my opinion. The Mage vs Templar conflict I believe is a strong narrative, however in the games it felt slightly neutered to me. Whereas this book allows the full concept of that to flourish with great characters, some wholly original to these books, and others faithful reappearances of characters in the games, and even characters that have their first appearance here and then went on to become important characters in the games. I really wish Rhys and Evangeline showed up in person in Inquisition as I loved their characters here. Wynne, Shale, and Leliana were all excellent to see. And the Lord Seeker made a good antagonist. But the star of the book, easily, is Cole. Such an interesting and sympathetic character that is so tragic and dark I can't help but love him. It is also helps that this book is written by the actual lead writer of the games, so every character, every action, every lore-point, every location feels authentic because it genuinely is. Big recommend to Dragon Age fans, I do recommend that you have played Origins and 2 as I think the enjoyment of this greatly depends on knowing the characters that appeared in those two games, as well as seeing the main conflict of this book come to a head in 2. I also think this is easily the best of Gaider's Dragon Age novels. While I enjoyed the fun adventure of the Stolen Throne, and the darkness of the Calling, this was the best of the three.

The best one in the series so far, although it features one of my favorite characters so I may be biased. The rest have different authors so I'm optimistic about continuing the seried!
An entertaining look into the origins of Cole from DA: Inquisition - overall a good read, with some more tedious moments. Read my full review here: https://magpiemakingdo.wordpress.com/2017/01/26/book-review-dragon-age-asunder-by-david-gaider/
Reading these books makes me feel so much more at peace with some of the harder decisions I made in-game.

This is really good for a video game tie-in book.
After reading it I want Dragon Age 3 to come out, hell I want to play Origins and 2 again. That's exactly what a book like this should do.
A great book, but only for Dragon Age fans.
