Waiting for Dreadwolf is harder than it's ever been with this book. Thinking of reviews for short story anthologies are challenging for me, since judging it as a whole is difficult when different writers are collaborating over it, but I overall love this book, and love the lore that Dragon Age has always been known for. Some of them were stellar, some of them were lackluster; but here are a few of my favourites:
  • Down Among the Dead Men, Sylvia Fetetekuty: Atmospheric, lovely, daunting. Full of personality and suspense.
  • Callback, Lukas Kristjanson: Tragic, and made me revisit Inquisition and really pay attention to Skyhold.
    The little Solas cameo in it
    got me and got me good. A piece full of remorse, with a fun D&D cast.
  • Eight Little Talons, Courtney Woods: By far the best character cast, and I've always loved the Crows. This just made me love them more. And Teia and Viago are an excellent couple.
  • The Dread Wolf Take You, Patrick Weekes: The reason I even read this.
    Each character's voice at that table was so unique, and the story so fun and convoluted and such a good primer for the fourth game. That reveal with Solas was expected but absolutely excellent.
    In all, groundbreaking.
