The Calling by David Gaider

5.0

I read this book at the request of my daughter. She adores the computer game and the first three books based on the game. I read the first in the series a while back and like the author. I knew this one would be as immersive and it would take me a long while to read it, due to the intricacy, but I didn't expect it to take as long as it did. I had to be in the right mood and have the right amount of time to read it and give it its due.
I highly enjoy fantasy, especially intricately well-imagined fantasy. This has superb world-building and characters that keep you on your toes. Nothing and everything is as it appears.
I don't play the game but I don't need to for complete enjoyment of the book. I look forward to reading the next one but it will likely be some time before diving in. I started because my daughter wanted me to read this series, but I will continue because I enjoy the world of the Grey Warden.
I can definitely recommend this book, series and writer
