Short and mildly amusing.

You'll appreciate it if you're a Dragon Age fan, but don't go in expecting DAO level writing.

What it is: A fun short story with a nostalgic dip back into Kirkwall and its inhabitants through the eyes of a beloved character.

What it is not: Shakespear.

For such a short work, this was amazing. In so many ways, it felt like you were being told a story, as opposed to just reading it. It's so easy to imagine Varric's voice during it.

It's not terribly deep, and a little overly silly, but that mostly makes it more fun!

I wanted to like this more than I did. It was ok just kinda...boring. 😞 Maybe I’m more like Cassandra and would prefer Swords & Shields. 😛

If you're a Dragon Age fan, read this. Other than containing all "chapters" from DA:I, this is just amusing finding all the cameos of other DA characters "Varric" added to the book. Definitely fun to return to Kirkwall.

Resolution was a bit rushed and unclear, but etire book was a delightful fanservice joy ride from beginning to end. A wonderful little amuse-bouche of a story in besutifulformat with the hardcover and illustrations.
