I only got around to reading them recently, so I think Asunder has an edge because I managed to read it before DA3, but I liked all three novels for different reasons. Seeing Loghain and Duncan when they were young was interesting. It was nice be able to see characters that would otherwise be little more than a name in a codex, too, like Rowan. And it was funny seeing the similarities between Alistair and Maric. Those Theirin men and their feels...

All in all, Asunder still wins for me though. Rhys, Evangeline and Cole are very interesting characters (that I hope we get to see in DA3 at some point) and it was neat seeing Shale, Wynne and Leliana again. Not to mention the end makes me very keen to see how DA3 plays out.

I read all of the them in the proper order. The Stolen Throne was the one I liked the most. Thus my bias toward Loghain as being one of the best characters of Thaedas to date.

Haven't read any of the books. I might start once I finish origins, I just bought the ultimate edition.

I had no idea about dragon age but once I beat me2 when it released on ps3, I realised a new bioware game was releasing in another month (DA2). It sucked........but after looking at the hype for DA3 and reading reviews for origins, I'm gonna try again to get into the world

Each one really is better then the last.  Its nice to see his writing consistently improve and its the main reason I still have hope for DA3.

I think I like Asunder the most, but the first two were also really cool in how it made me think differently about Loghain. I read the books after I played the second game so I didn't know any backstory the fist time around, needless to say I had a much harder time deciding if Loghain should be killed or not in Origins.

He got killed anyway, but it was emotional...

The first one was my favorite. I think his skill as a writer perhaps improved in the others and the others had some interesting concepts but I think his intent on which characters you were supposed to sympathize with and which ones you were not was totally backwards for me. I down right hated the 'heros' in Asunder and felt the 'villains' had some credibility.

Similar to DG's reasoning for Alistair's actions, I think everything that Maric has gone through up until that point has to be considered, in addition to this (what he thinks) terrible betrayal. I've never really thought about it before, but the two incidents are amazingly similar. I don't know if that is by design or just a result of the mental frame he is in when writing those characters.

Unnhh, that thread.  That discussion doesn't make much sense to me, but neither does Alistair's action at the end of The Silent Grove.  spoiler...



The Theirin boys apparently take it upon themselves to spontaneously run people through every once in a while.

I should say, I don't think Maric was wrong to kill Katriel.  She had to die.  Loghain should have done it himself.  His justification for why he made Maric do it was iffy at best.

Asunder

The Stolen Throne. I'd probably change my answer if I read Asunder.

[LolaLei]

Asunder. It was an interesting read in which certain events take place that are important to DA3.

[Brockololly]

I probably enjoyed The Calling the most, in terms of characters and subject matter. It seemed like a simpler but more focused story than the other ones. Yeah, you had the Architect's plan which would have had pretty broad, world shaking implications, but the core of the story was just sort of Maric adventuring with some Wardens, young Duncan included, which was fun. The story didn't bite off more than it could chew and I liked that.

I think Asunder was the best written book but I didn't care for many of the characters and didn't really care for the overall plot- it just wasn't terribly engaging and "felt" like a video game RPG novel the most (gather companions go on adventure with big consequences). Its like it wanted to be all self important but I just didn't care about what was happening or why. Stolen Throne was good but the ending felt horribly rushed and the whole thing just sort of ended incredibly abruptly.

[DarkKnightHolmes]

The first one because Loghain.

Stolen Throne. Logain was my favorite.

[Augustei]

Having read all three I have to say The Stolen Throne, It didn't have Wynne in it so that's a +.. Even though she is alive in my save I wish I'd killed her off in the circle tower.. It had Loghain in it, and it was interesting to finally find out what happened in the Rebellion after hearing so much about it in origins.

[BouncyFrag]

I've only read the Stolen Throne (will read the other ones eventually) and really liked it. Loghain fans should not miss this read.

[Rpgfantasyplayer]

I have read all three and I will say I like them all equally but for different reasons. The Stolen Throne and The Calling gave me the back stories and Asunder filled in the gaps from what transpired after DA2.  Now, if we could just find out who Alistair's mother is.....

The Stolen Throne, even if I didn't like the ending (but then again, I didn't like the ending of The Calling). But I haven't read Asunder yet. I was planing on doing it soon. Have I understood it right that it clears up the loose ends in DA2?

Tough call between Asunder and the Calling

Asunder, Rhys is one of my favorite characters.

[Maleficarium]

The Calling probably is my favorite but I loved them all. The characters are solid and there is a particular part which is an amazing tearjerker seeing I'm a hopeless romantic. Stolen Throne gave a whole new respect for Loghain and Asunder is just all around great, I hope to see more Rhys in the future.
