This is good! David Gaider always manages to engage me with his Dragon Age writings, and with this omnibus of graphic novels, he does so again. He collects a semi-all-star cast of familiar faces from the video games and sets them on a new adventure that fills in some back story from the very first game while adding in lots of new information. Varric and Isabella were two of my favorite characters from DA 2/3, and while I didn't like Alastair in the first game, he comes off as strong and likable in this adaptation. I think what surprised me most was the layout of the panels, with almost a full two-page spread in every section that really stood out. The art is just right for the Dragon Age aesthetic, which has changed/evolved over time. I think this is a good read even for those unfamiliar with the video game series.
