Dragon Age: The Calling

The second of two prequels to the "Dragon Age: Origins" video game. This one tells the story of a trip taken by King Maric, accompanied by Grey Wardens (including a very young Duncan) into the Deep Roads. We also meet the Architect for the first time. I didn't enjoy this book nearly as much as "The Stolen Throne" (mostly because there isn't much Loghain), but I did enjoy the lore. I'd definitely recommend for a fan of the video games, but probably not as a stand-alone fantasy novel (unless you read TST and enjoyed it without knowing about the games. Then, this might be fun, too). ( )
