There was one scene where the two dismantle traps together that clearly shows how easily their friendship comes to them, despite appearances.
The dynamic between the three was pretty great, particularly Varric and Isabela’s friendship. He’s still a gentleman, shown by a moment where he gives Isabela his cloak to keep her warm, but he is now rough and rugged, and has lost his baby faced looks.īut Alistair is not the only character in The Silent Grove! He is accompanied by Varric Tethras, a party member from Dragon Age II, and Isabela, who makes an appearance in both games. He mentions something about how he shouldn’t ‘be here alone’, which was a nice little nod to all who chose the route of marrying Alistair, and then frustratingly found out in the epilogue that their character ‘disappeared’ months later… There is one event in particular that truly confirms how much Alistair has changed. He’s quite a different character from the one in the game, but I interpreted that as having to adapt once he became king – and losing his lover. Narrated by King Alistair of Ferelden, a character who should be familiar to anyone who has played Dragon Age: Origins, the story follows our bumbling former Grey Warden as he investigates a rumour. And not only that, but I would happily frame and display the full page art in between chapters on my wall, it’s so gorgeous.įirstly, THIS BOOK CONFIRMS KING ALISTAIR AS CANON. It’s so wonderful seeing those familiar characters in a different style of media, particularly as when I imagine them in my head, all I can see is their pixelated selves. I’m going to split my review and discuss each chapter separately – but firstly I have to say how much I LOVE the cover. Just like when I spot a Mass Effect book on Netgalley, I can’t help myself if I see anything related to Dragon Age either! This book is actually a collection of the three current graphic novels, with extra notes and annotation. It’s so wonderful seeing th I received a copy of this book for free from Netgalley, in exchange for an honest review.
