Although I do prefer Weekes' prose far more than Gaider's, I can't say that this novel is anything special.

Wow, this was one damn well written book, with character dynamics and development that I’ve not yet seen. The story pacing was perfect, the intrigues were tightly knitted, but allowed the reader to figure things out on their own too, if they paid attention. On top of that, I believe the Dread Wolf, Solas, himself made a very prominent appearance. All you have to do is watch for the details, the acts, the views, and you’ll spot him easy enough. I loved the dimensions of people too: the bad evil men with sense of honor as solid as steel; the good and gracious heroes full of delusions and selfishness; the nobles with deep dark secrets; and the nobodies with power enough to break empires. But it was Duke Gaspard’s story that made me want to re-play Dragon Age: Inquisition the most, and attend that Orlaisian ball again. Just so I could see and speak to the people present here.

So, yes, I have enjoyed this book very, very much. It’s definitely one of the best in the series so far. I can give it a solid 5 out of 5. You don’t need to play the games to enjoy these books, but you do need to read them in order. And now, wish me luck, for I truly do need a new pc. Or, better yet, buy me a coffee?
