First off, I have to say I'm retarded for Dragon Age and I'm sure it had influenced my opinion of this book. I was so happy to get to be in Ferelden again!The premise of The Stolen Throne is the story of how King Maric, father of Cailin and grand-father of Alistair (your fellow Grey Warden in DAO), drives the tyrannical Orlesian invaders from Ferelden and takes back his ancestral throne. He's assisted, reluctantly at first, by Loghain, who you'll know well if you played Origins. Both Maric andIf you enjoyed the Dragon Age series of games, this is an acceptable read. It provides a back story to the kingdom of Feredlen, and little more. There were a few good moments, and I did think a bit about a couple of the characters after concluding the book, but overall I can't recommend it to anyone who isn't just thirsting for more Dragon Age story.As the lead writer for Origins, the Stolen Throne reads just like the game. I can see Maric choosing the 'witty' dialogue choice throughout the
Imagine yourself strolling through the woods one day. The weathers nice, youve got nothing but catching your dinner on your mind. Everythings quite peaceful. Youre poaching with your mates. Suddenly, a young prince comes stumbling through the undergrowth. Hes unarmed, exhausted and being chased by your hated enemy. What would you do? Well, you dont know hes a prince. So you take him home to your fathers camp. A day or so later you find your land surrounded by an army of enemies. Its obvious
Anyone who knows me well will know that Ive an insatiable appetite for lore. Theyll also know that Im an incorrigible addict when it comes to fantasy that involves dragons, elves and magic. So needless to say, now that Ive fallen into the black hole that is BioWares Dragon Age franchise, there is no hope for this Middle-earth veteran.My main motivation for picking up The Stolen Throne *was* for the lore, as well as the backstory for characters and events. When youre looking at a setting thats so

It is very hard to write an objective review about a story that had engrossed you even before you read the novel. The Stolen Throne was written as a prequel to BioWare Dragon Age: Origins. To people who love the games it almost functions as a manual - containing all the information necessary to understand the relationship between Loghain and Maric. To others - I believe it is not detailed enough. Here we have a book which functions as an introduction to the world of Ferelden - crowded with Elven
What do you get when a video game writer tries his hand at writing a novel? In all honesty, a novel overflowing with horrid plot pacing and unrealistic characterization.Dragon Age: The Stolen Throne serves as a prequel to the video game Dragon Age Origins. The Stolen Throne intrigued me mostly because it was written by David Gaider. Gaider has been a blessing to the video game community for his work on Baldurs Gate and Knights of the Old Republic. Sadly, Gaider does not understand that writing
