This is an interesting dark fantasy which kept me entertained. The prose is a bit clunky and wordy, but the story is sufficiently engaging to overlook this. It is certainly a better story than the first in the trilogy and it was pleasing to find a 'middle book' with a satisfying ending, although clearly more to come in part 3.A good example of the genre and I was happy to wade through it!"And so is the Golden City blackenedWith each step you take in my Hall.Marvel at perfection, for it is fleeting.You have brought Sin to Heaven,And doom upon all the world." - Canticle of Threnodies 8:13Buddy read with Layla at Buddies Books and Baubles!As good, if not better than the first book. I certainly enjoyed it more because it was a story I really cared about (Alastair!). As it's been the case before, the strength of the Dragon Age books does not lie with the plot, but with the
Just as with "The Stolen Throne", my enjoyment of this book was enhanced by my love of the Dragon Age series of video games by Bioware. This book is another prequel story to the games, taking place after "The Stolen Thone", and was an improvement.The author didn't have any moments of complete failure, as with the ending to book 1, although a few points of canon felt stretched. (view spoiler)[If an elf has a child with a human, the baby is human? Since when? What about all the half-elves in
I enjoyed The Stolen Throne but I absolutely loved this one! A group of Grey Wardens, once exiled from Ferelden, have returned to seek King Maric's assistance in locating a member of their order who is lost in the Deep Roads, the abandoned and Darkspawn infested former home of the great Dwarven kingdom. Maric, believing his intervention could prevent another Blight, agrees to help the Wardens.A fresh recruit named Duncan is among the party that sets out for the Deep Roads. I liked Duncan in the
Here lies the abyss, the well of all souls.From these emerald waters doth life begin anew.Come to me, child, and I shall embrace you.In my arms lies Eternity.-Andraste 14:11Maric Theirin has sat on the throne of Ferelden for years since defeating the Orlesian conquest. But a new danger threatens from far below the ground, and dangerous secrets lie hidden in the Deep RoadsWhere The Stolen Throne fleshes out the backstory of Ferelden and its heroes, The Calling digs deeper (literally) into the
Edging dangerously close to 2.5, in spite of Gaider's creaky prose, which is admittedly better here than in the other one. But hey, the token hot elf wasn't so keen on martyring herself for plot purposes. Yay, for not stuffing Fiona in a refrigerator next to Katriel. Still, Gaider should probably just stick to game dialogue and internet bon mots.
As a fan of this world, I found this book utterly compelling. Ferelden is threatened by the possibility of a blight and we find out more about what the witch of the wilds tells Maric in the first novel, The Stolen Throne. In addition, we gain more insight into Loghain's manic obsession with Orlais (not that he didn't have reason before...) and see his relationship with Maric further erode. We learn about a particular baby that has special meaning for players of the game and most importantly, we
