Asunder (Dragon Age #3)
Not easily that’s for sure. Only one man can actually see him and he dare not give his perceptions voice because everybody will think he is utterly insane. Even a mention of the murderer’s name is forgotten by the hearer as some dark magic lingers over his words. Rhys knows he is not mad, but he can’t even communicate these ideas to anyone so he is forced to remain silent.
“And worse, there was the music. He didn’t know what it was, but it seemed to come from far, far off. It called to him, but not in a pleasant way—it had an urgency that sped his heart and made his blood burn.”
Five mages have been brutally stabbed to death so far. The mages, naturally, blame their powerful overseers: The Templars. And the Templars blame the mages who they believe have summoned a daemon to do their bidding. Tensions between the two factions are ridiculously tight.
The Templars decide to send Rhys on a mission which may help to give them answers regarding their invisible slasher. He is sent with a Templar (to watch him) and his mother, Wynne: an extremely powerful sprit healer. Rhys becomes distracted with the mission at hand and is dogged by the problems the mages have. His concern with the bigger picture interrupts his focus on the dangers that are happening in the present, and as such a dangerous situation becomes a fatal situation. He was lucky he had such a healer with him.
The Weakest Dragon Age book so far
The arguments between the Templars and the mages form a huge part of the Dragon Age universe; it is one of its central themes and one of the major causes of conflict, but here it felt a little overdone. It was the story: it completely dominated everything else and didn’t allow for the characters to shine through the narrative. I never got the impression that any of them were particularly divided about it. They were one side or for the other, which was a shame because dealing with complex moral questions is what make this series so immersive.
After a while, I just wanted to see the story go somewhere else which it didn’t. Sure, it’s an entertaining read though the previous two books were much more compelling.
The Dragon Age games are my absolute favorite console games. This book was only okay. I really enjoyed seeing the back stories from many of the characters in the most recent game. However, there were many times that I was confused about what was going on with certain people. I still have no idea what Cole is! Was that the point? Evangeline is awesome and entertaining in the game and in this book she was not herself half the time and seemed to wuss out much more than I would have expected. Rhys
Dragon Age: Asunder by Biowares lead writer, David Gaider, is third in a series of fiction set in the same world as the Dragon Age video games. Set a year after the conclusion of Dragon Age II, Asunder explores the repercussions of the cataclysmic end to that game. Instead of Kirkwall, however, the setting is Val Royeaux, home of the Chantry and the Divine and the White Spire, which houses the Orlesian Circle of Magi. For the uninitiated, mages in Thedas are collected as soon as their power
Well that sure was a video game novel. Pros:-Shale and Cole are some of my favorite characters in the series and I was delighted to see them again. While I already knew Cole's origin/past from DA:I, I still wanted more.-This book focuses on the mage/Templar dynamic more than previous books.-While some action is present, it was a 'quieter' novel than previous books in the series and feels less dungeon-crawl-y. -Prose is technically better. -Decisions made in this novel hold significant weight and
How do you stop a murderer who is invisible and doesnt, technically speaking, even exist?Not easily thats for sure.

This was an OK read. The story takes place right after the mage rebellion in Kirkwall, but is set in Val Royeaux (Orlais). It's definitely no big work of literature, although it had some interesting plot points (the reversion of Tranquility, some new lore about demons and spirits, Wynne's past, etc.). Unfortunately, the main characters lack any serious characterization and reminded me of characters I met in DA:O and DA:II.

As a reasonably big fan of the Dragon Age series, I thought it might be prudent to read Asunder, which takes place not long after the second game, and offers some insight into what might be happening in the third game.While I have a lot of respect for what goes into the making of video game worlds, and I think Thedas is actually a really fantastic place with a great and well-written culture and history, I think Gaider should avoid writing novels at all costs.The book had some interestingThe Dragon Age games are my absolute favorite console games.
