The writing itself is pretty good and if it were not a Dragon Age book and if it had the length it needed to pay out on its promises, I think this story would have been quite good.DAI: Lovely Elven Inquisitor in Avaar ArmorĮlves are a classic race of any fantasy world, but those of the Dragon Age series have had a difficult time of things, to put it lightly.
I am aware that the author has tried to reconcile many of these when asked about them, but at the end of the day, all of these things just add up to create a world that just feels wrong. There are a number of anachronistic elements, the most glaring of which is the Qunari/trolls being referenced before they should have even been known in Thedas. The dwarves feel more like Tolkien dwarves and they don't feel like they belong in the world. I doubt this is her fault, but regardless, it makes the book feel very un-Dragon Age. Aside from that, you can tell that the author was not allowed enough time to write it and that she was not as familiar with the world as she should have been. I would have loved to learn more about the characters and watched them grow, but it just didn't happen. If the book was the size of a normal fantasy novel (20-30 hours) it may have been doable, but most of the characters just feel flat and lifeless, especially since the plot jumps back and forth from present time to 400 years earlier. The book itself is okay, but it introduces a lot of characters that don't have enough time to be fleshed out. How do you get 5 books into reading a series and still not know how to pronounce things? Especially a series where the majority of the other content is voiced? I don't get it.
Though it wasn't a continuation of anything, it was still great in it's own right and very enjoyable to listen to.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?ĭragon Age: Last Flight - In a desperate attempt to fight evil, spells disaster for the grey wardens. Which is all well and good, i just improvised they were distinct from one another but just wasn't how I imagined them in my head. I think he portrayed the characters well. Yes, he's done other Dragon Age series books. Have you listened to any of Gildart Jackson’s other performances before? How does this one compare? Not sure, but it would comparable to a book which cycles between present and past focusing heavily on the past. What other book might you compare Dragon Age: Last Flight to and why? If you could sum up Dragon Age: Last Flight in three words, what would they be?
