I guess the title already says it all. I played the whole trilogy between june '15 and january '16 and completely fell in love for the mass effect universe (ive played tons of games in my life and loved a lot of them, but anything like my crazy passion for ME) and while we're waiting for andromeda i thought id kill time reading the novels. Are they good? Having already played all games and most dlc's, wont the books get a little boring since "i will know what happens"?
Thanks
Yeah.. that's what I did. And you don't know what happens.. they are different stories from the games.
Just don't get Deception.. apparently. And I don't know why. It's just that everyone says so and even Bioware has distanced themselves from it.

Deception has lots of inaccuracies and is utterly dreadful. I haven't read the book but I've read the jokey comic book version - http://imgur.com/a/lAVji#0

Well... I read half of that. Which is more than I say about the novel. 
They never came out with the fixed version. B@$t3rds.Deception has lots of inaccuracies and is utterly dreadful. I haven't read the book but I've read the jokey comic book version - http://imgur.com/a/lAVji#0

I really really liked that book and it gave so much insight into Mass Effect 1.
The stories flesh out the universe around the games, and you can learn a lot about some characters. Did you know, for example, that Anderson was born in London?
I thought the first three were fun reads and they also have their own storyline.
Revelation was the first one. Tells the story of Anderson's opportunity to become a Spectre. It sets up the first game pretty well with the backstory.
Ascension was the next one, and is about the titular Alliance project at Grissom Academy and some Cerberus shenanigans. I liked this one the best.
Retribution was ok I suppose. Mostly about Cerberus experimenting on a character from the previous one. It doesn't really bridge ME2 and ME3 versions of Cerberus all that well, I don't know if that was supposed to be the intent or not.
Deception was not good. Has a lot of strange errors, and I am not sure that was all the fault of the author. I don't know if ME had a 'bible' to hand out to other writers to explain the lore, but I would assume they don't. Karpyshyn wrote the first three books so he probably didn't need one.
Only if have a book that tells the story of Jentha

You sound exactly like me. I picked up ME2 on a whim simply because it was on sale and Bioshock wasn't. Ended up completely falling in love with it!
I'm currently replaying the trilogy prior to Andromeda's release, and I'm also reading the books again. In my opinion, the books aren't great, but they're probably worth a read for fans of the Mass Effect universe, just to get some backstory on the characters and lore.

Then you've read the book. It's not jokey. That's really what's in the book...
Yeah.. that's what I did. And you don't know what happens.. they are different stories from the games.

^That's why^
But yeah, if Drew Karpyshyn wrote it, it's worth the read with respect to the Mass Effect franchise. As a bonus, you can see how well laid out the future/conclusion was until Super Mac ****ed it all up!
