2.5
The story of this is actually pretty interesting but the pacing is absolutely horrendous

5.0
Legitimately one of the best things I have ever read. Such beautifully written characters that are all fleshed out with proper motivations and personalities. Every big 'villain' in this is complex and interesting and at times I felt quite sad for them even though I was rooting for the main characters. At one point I was crying so hard my face was all sore from wiping my tears 🥲 I'm also usually not one to be interested in these kinds of feudal political storylines but I was actually really invested in this one.

As I often find with books that are a collection of short stories, some are better than others meaning I can't rate this any higher. Great characters as always from the Bioware writers, I did especially enjoy seeing a few of the companions from the new game featured in here too. If you're a fan of Dragon Age, you will more thank likely enjoy this.
