#one thing about the da books is that they do generally trend upwards in quality which makes reading them a decent experience

i wouldnt go so far as to call the calling a good book necessarily, but it's so much better than the stolen throne and it's actually got an interesting plot & lore, it's very refreshing when im reading them in order

#personal #da #i love grey warden stuff it's so juicy. horrifying! especially in this book! im glad they went that route! #still not a good book! but not on the same level as the stolen throne. god. #one thing about the da books is that they do generally trend upwards in quality which makes reading them a decent experience #or at least a better experience than it would be otherwise #in terms of being a good book the one i enjoy the most is last flight (although the current day chapters are a bit empty) #but for lore the calling probably is my favourite #asunder and the masked empire are better books than these first two but the plots...... god the plots. #if he wasnt the protag of asunder i think i would feel pretty indifferent towards rhys but that book makes me *hate* him #and as for the masked empire........ well ive talked before about how i just cant bring myself to care AT ALL about orlesian politics #some of the elf bits are interesting. give me a book about felassan. but also. yeesh. they did the wlw baaaad #not that i can complain if im saying i like the calling. one of the more jarring instances of bury your gays #like hey could you maybe give us wlw relationships that arent terrible and mlm relationships where they dont DIE
