Dragon Age: Blue Wraith is one of the most frustrating books I've read in a while. If you're going to bring all of your various main characters together into one storyline, the least you could do would be to provide a brief blurb/recap of who all these people are. I had the Dragon Age wiki open while reading and kept having to stop so I could look up character names that sounded vaguely familiar.

Dragon Age: Blue Wraith was also surprisingly short. Most of the story is set-up and the conclusion was hard to follow. I found the teaser on the back of the book did a better job conveying what actually happened than the graphic novel itself did.

The upside was that the character interactions were interesting and entertaining. One of the things I've really enjoyed about the graphic novel additions are the lovable new characters. Dragon Age: Blue Wraith provided a fun opportunity to see how they've all grown over the course of the arc.

I liked the art style, but I feel like they kind of whitewashed Fenris? Maybe it's just me. I read this digitally, and the colour balance on my phone isn't the best.
I felt the plot was kind of all over the place. This would definitely be confusing to someone (such as myself :P ) who reads comics out of order. Definitely NOT a standalone. Good for fans of Fenris who want to know a little more of his backstory. I suspect that this particular arc will come into play in Dragon Age 4, based on some of the concept art.
