Robin Marx reviewed Asunder by David Gaider
Review of 'Asunder' on 'Goodreads'
2 stars
The third and final Dragon Age novel by the former lead writer of the Dragon Age series of video games, Asunder is set between the events of Dragon Age II and Dragon Age: Inquisition. While the last book dealt with the Gray Wardens and the darkspawn, this book deals with the conflict between the mages and the templars tasked with monitoring them for signs of demonic possession.
Various characters from the games appear, with Wynne in a major role and the introduction of Cole, but the characters were less appealing than in the last two novels and there was less action. The mage/templar conflict was a major part of the second video game, so it felt a bit like well-trodden ground here. This wasn't a bad novel, per se, it just wasn't as engrossing as the first two.
