This is pretty good so far.

They seem to have switched pencillers half way through, which is very annoying. But other than that I like the story a lot and it feels very authentic to the Dragon Age universe.

Usually video-game tie in stuff is horrible but the game had such a deep, compelling story that this comic series actually works in conjunction.

The Stolen Throne is a must read for fans of the Dragon Age video games! The book is the perfect introduction to the world of Thedas, more specifically Fereldan and the reasons behind the tensions between Orlais and Fereldan. The story follows King Maric Theirin and Loghain as they fight to take back Fereldan from the Orlesian usurper, Meghren, setting the foundations for the Dragon Age: Origins video game. It very much carries the spirit of the games, with witty banter between characters set against the backdrop of a dark fantasy world.

I'm personally a massive fan of the games, so diving deeper into the world and the lore was a blast for me. However, if you haven't played the games, I'm not sure the book would have the same appeal. Not because the writing or story isn't well done, but because I think the book expects you to have a preexisting understanding/knowledge of the characters and the world going into it.
