Was this a good book? I don't know. But it sure was a fun one! I loved seeing Varric put all his friends in the book and can only imagine how they all feel about it. Particularly Sebastian.
First of all, this book is really only for fans of the Dragon Age game franchise. It's very specific to that game and written specifically by one of the favourite characters in it. And if you love Dragon Age and Varric, you will probably enjoy this book. HOWEVER, if you love Dragon Age and Varric you quite likely already tracked down all the codex pages of "Hard in Hightown" that could be collected in Dragon Age: Inquisition. In which case, be aware you're not going to get anything new in this book; you've read it already. That said, it's a nice edition, it's fun to have it all in one volume, and there are new illustrations accompanying it. For collectors and fans, it's a great addition to your library. My main disappointment was that there's nothing new, and it's super short. I want more Varric stories! Swords & Shields book …
