Most of the stories are centred around new characters, and outside the time frame of the games, so you really get a sense of the huge and complicated world of Thedas.

The stories themselves run the gamut from sword-and-sorcery to horror, via city politics, heists and even a country house murder mystery – and much like the games, there’s a mixture of darkness and humour. I’ll try to balance explanation with fangirling! Anyway, while my thoughts as a die-hard fan might be something like “This is a great look at the Qun”, someone who doesn’t know the series might think “this is a great look at a society that values utility over free will”, so I think it works on both levels. I hope that it might even make some people want to try the games, if they get a taste of the flavour of them here they’re fun fantasy, with a lot of wit and amazing characters, but set in a world full of very complex politics and grey morality that feels very realistic in its exploration of difficult issues like poverty, slavery, free will and power. It’s hard to know where to start with this review, as I don’t imagine it’s the sort of book you’d pick up if you weren’t already a fan of the series, but I think you definitely could enjoy it without the context, as the stories themselves are fairly self-contained.

I’ve collected all the novels set in this world (and I’m working on the comics) – so I was absolutely thrilled to be asked to review the new short story anthology, Dragon Age: Tevinter Nights!īook: Dragon Age: Tevinter Nights edited by Chris Bain, Patrick Weekes, Matthew Goldman and Christopher Morgan. Dragon Age: Origins was one of the first games I ever fell in love with and really connected to, and the whole franchise holds a very dear place in my heart. I don’t talk a lot about video games on here, but there’s one thing you need to know before you go into this review: I am a huge fan of the Dragon Age games.
