Have ordered the Stolen Throne, if I like it then you will have two more book sales out me, Mr. Gaider! Do you find writing these novels a significantly different experience to writing for the games? Does your novel writing ever affect your game writing, and vice versa? How much creative freedom are you given on them without approval from your colleagues, or does it not really work like that?

Sorry for killing your Asunder thread, David Gaider

Hooray for David Gaider- author Supreme! Can't wait to turn the first page.

What the... I had no idea there were novels about the Dragon Age world... cool! *goes to search online stores*

Let me guess, the hero is always male, right?  In time honered, almost sexist, tradition.  Guess I'll find out when I read them.

I'm just sad that according to amazon.co.uk it's out Dec 23rd, so probably won't be delivered til new year

If I have time between the books for my classes and the mass effect book, I will definitely read it.

I won't spoil them totally for you, but yes the hero is male.

I wonder how old Rhys is.

Depending on how old Wynne was at the time she conceived him he could be anywhere from 30 to 50

There is now an excerpt up for this novel on the publisher's website

@res27772...that would be a triple affirmative. As long as it continues status quo so far that the warden and/or champion aren't canon male, I'll be woefully relieved.

When I pre-ordered SWTOR: Revan by Drew Karpyshyn, I did not make the connection that He was the same character I had played in KoToR...because, naturally, I played a female, and it had been so long since I had played the game, ignorance truly is bliss I guess.

Now I'm left agonizing whether or not to replay both games by ToR's release, Decemeber 20th, same as Asunder's I believe, can't wait, for both actually.

I simply loathe playing male characters. I have no doubt I've missed out on some great games, but I just can't get into macho Ezio et al. I've tried. Oh, well. I guess I'm just too much of a girl. Break my heart so much for my character and Carth, alas, or as Sigrun would pine "woe is me."

Oh, I´m glad to see that there will be another Dragon Age book.
I really enjoyed reading the first two novels, looking forward to the next one!

If you're a speed reader and manage to finish it before the "official" release date, mind telling me how it was and if you've read the others how you'd place them?

[Fox In The Box]

Hnnnnnnnngggggg.

I WANT IT NOW


Patience? No, I don't know what that is.

Same here.

Post impressions !

[Lawliet89]

Just finished the book. Wow just wow. Excellent writing by Mr. Gaider.

Learnt a lot of stuff and it really reinforces Dragon Age 2's story. Can't wait to see what others have to say of it... in the appropriate forum of course.

Questions!

• When does it take place with respect to DA2?
• When you say it reinforces DA2's story, I'm guessing thats with respect to the whole Mage/Templar brouhaha?
• If you've read Gaider's other books, what did you think of them and where would you place your enjoyment of Asunder in regards to The Stolen Throne and The Calling?
• ANything big happen in it that might influence future games?
• Any new lore or insight into whatever is going on with Flemeth, Morrigan and the Eluvians?
• Is anything from Origins or DA2 canonized? I know Wynne is in there, but anything else?
