"Blessed are they who stand before
The corrupt and the wicked and do not falter.
Blessed are the peacekeepers, the champions of the just."
— Canticle of Benedictions 4:10

3.25/5

This was quite slow, but not bad. And near the end it picked up and was actually rather exiting.

I was interested in finding out more of Maric's story, especially his relationships with Fiona, since we know this from the games.
Also Duncan! Such a great character. Even though we only see him a little tlin DAO, I love the man. And now I know more of him and of his relation to Alistair. That was great.

The plot was rather slow, like I said. A lot of walking, not much actually happening in the Deep roads. I did like the Fade part however! It was nice to look deeper into our characters past and their desires.

Overall glad I finished it, since I'm obsessed with Dragon Age lore. Now I know a little more.

The Calling by David Gaider 4/5 :star::star::star::star:
So much lore from Origins got filled in for me with this one but also left a few questions. I enjoyed the characters in this one more than book one and it flowed at a decent rate. I enjoyed the Deep Roads in this more than book 1 as well.
