Dragon Age: Last Flight

Aucune dommage et tout semble en ordre.

Dragon Age fans will love the subject material in this. Don't be deterred that it's written by a non-BW writer! It's very good! Do you remember your Barkspawn (or however you named your mabari from Origins)? Imagine they got the Taint again and you couldn't find the cure. You went on a long quest to find a cure, but couldn't. They die. Oops, there goes my feels... You've heard about the stories of griffons and lack of them in Origins; heroic tales of Garahel, hero of the Fourth Blight, and his victory at Ayesleigh; how the denial of acknowledging the Fifth Blight as a Blight is due to, compared to what happened in the Fourth Blight, underwhelming. [Last Flight] wonderfully paints how dire the Fourth Blight was in episodic fashion by time jumping, just like Dragon Age II did. And most importantly, the narrative heavily features griffons. Whether you've played Origins or not, the griffons and what happens to them is how the narrative does a wonderful job on showing how time has changed, how horrible a Blight is on land and its inhabitants, and what the current age of Dragon Age has lost by driving the species to extinction. The story is carried superbly by characters, each with a sense of uniqueness, that also adds to existing lore of Dragon Age. The novel is split into two different timelines: the Exalted Age (ie the Fourth Blight) and the Dragon Age (ie by time the Inquisition officially forms and start to gain its power). However, Inquisition is never mentioned; the problems that happen in-game is hardly mentioned; there are no cameos from previous games (maybe slight winks and references), other tie-in novels, or comic books. It stands on its own in Maker-forsaken land of Anderfels. That's why this tie-in novel works so well and very strong beside what the author produced: the fans never have to worry about how this will affect their game. The novel stands up all on its own by how it uses up the rich world of Thedas, and how it adds to what the game never gave to the players. I feel like this is how tie-in novels should be, especially ones relating to video games. [Last Flight] elaborates about Wardens up in Anderfels, how living in Anderfels is like, how horrible the Fourth Blight was, who was Garahel, and what it was like to have griffons around. I don't know how this will affect DA4, but for now, the content of the story elaborates on existing rich lore of DA. And I really liked how the author painted the Fourth Blight. Pace is fast; you can finish this within a few days. Characters are not boring and well written. Some of the battle scenes were actually good and exciting (felt nostalgic to my first play of the last fight in Origins in some chapters *sniffles* ). I highly recommend this to any DA fans, whether you've played all three or just Inquisition. One personal nitpit is just maybe, juuuuuust maybe, the word "maybe" might be overused ;D

Love this book! The story is dynamic and is so much fun to read. I highly recommend it ;)

Otro muy bien libro de la saga de Dragon Age. Si bien el escritor no es el mismo que los 4 anteriores, el libro sigue siendo igual de bueno que los anteriores, con personajes interesantes y, lo más importante, una historia que es atrapante y nos ayuda a saber más sobre la quinta ruina (donde murieron todos los grifos), y sobre la orden de lls Guardias Grises

L'ambientazione e il mondo di DragonAge sono fantastici e per chi ha apprezzato i videogiochi questi libri sono un must have!
