As I said previously about the Mass Effect comic series, the Dragon Age ones (specifically this final collection) seem to suffer for time. I would have liked to see more story and perhaps less of a trip into the fade. It also made me feel a little sad. I'd read the novels The Stolen Throne and The Calling and felt Maric deserved a better ending.
They really saved the best 'til last! This was such an emotional ending, and one that gives fans closure on the fate of beloved King Maric. It expands on lore and the history of Thedas, and has some really shocking twists that I really didn't see coming. I liked seeing more of the Qunari in this one, as we've only had a taster of their way of life and their homeland from previous games, and in the comic previous to this one. I also liked seeing more of Mae, an LGBT+ character seen in the end cre...
The power these characters have to break my heart is unfair... Alistair is probably one of the most tormented characters I've ever encountered, but he remains so optimistic that when ANOTHER bad thing happens to him, I feel my heart actually break for a fictional character. Just incredible...
End felt really rushed, but I really did like Varric as narrator.
5 stars I think this was a good ending to this trio story. And i think it was a great idea to end it with Varric's point of view, seeing his talent for storytelling. I love how they made this sincerely. And now I understand some events better!Definitely recommend.
I've read this series for a single purpose: to see Alistair and Maric reunion. It was dreadful. Empty. And in ANOTHER dream scene in the Fade Alistair is as out of character as he could possibly be. The art is nice, but not nice enough that I wouldn't be angry at this atrocity of a "canon story".
I’m determined to read more graphic novels this year. Beyond Neil Gaiman’s remarkable Sandman series I barely read any in 2017. There was a time when I used to read one a week every week. Starting with this, I’m going to revive that former tradition of mine. I've got a few interesting bits on the horizon. Well, anyway, on with Untill We Sleep. The thing I enjoyed most about this series was its use of a different narrator per book; it really kept things lively and entertaining. And Varric, the lo...
This was the best of the original trilogy of Dragon Age comics. Alistair finally encounters Titus and finds his father. Varric takes over the narration and makes things much more interesting.
In the final series of the trilogy, Dragon Age 's King Alistair continues the search for his father Maric, accompanied by the pirate queen Isabela and the storytelling dwarf merchant, Varric. They are aided by the Tevinter mage, Maevaris, as they track down the evil Titus who has captured Maric for the dragon's blood that runs within the Theirin veins.I love this story. I hate this story. There are so many secrets revealed, ideas introduced and of course the presence of some of my beloved cha...
This finishes the Dragon Age graphic novel series, and it does so very strongly. Alistair's quest reaches its end, and much of the story takes place in the Fade, from Varric's point of view, which makes for a very interesting story. Here more than the other books, Varric's penchant for narrating himself is used, to very good effect. What it says about his feelings toward Isabela is nearly poetic. The conflict and resolution plays out well, and the ending is powerful and poignant. All told, I'd s...
Varric's naked butt almost, but not entirely, made up for the massive amount of lady t+a in this comic series.
I was expecting more from the ending tbh
I liked Until We Sleep but not as much as the earlier installments in the series. Though I love Varric, I didn't enjoy how much of the story is told with his imaginative versions of how events unfolded. When the actual final fight arrived, it felt anti-climactic. The characters still felt wonderfully authentic to the games, which is something I have really enjoyed about this series. Varric in particular seemed true to character and provided a dose of levity to a dark storyline.
I had some mixed feelings about this one, compared to the last two.Overall, it was a strong ending to the series, I appreciated Varric's point of view. Infact all the characters stayed very true to how they are in the games. It felt like some parts were rushed a little, maybe that's just the nature of the format, though...?I got genuine goosebumps at that last page! It was interesting to finally gain some insight into Varric's past regarding Bianca and I always like seeing Alistair's character d...
And so the trilogy of unexplored, unexplained daddy issues comes to a conclusion. Why was Varric here? Who knows. What did Alistair gain from doing this? Who knows. Was this even really Alistair? Not in my world state! Hashtag or whatever. If you view these three books as being about Isabela, they're vastly more interesting and impactful... and there's actual character motivation behind the events. But it's still full of boilerplate dialogue, disconnected scenes, unknown and unknowable character...
As is customary for our plans, things did not go quite as expected. This was absolutely a fitting end to this arc, and I'm somehow even more in love with Varric, Isabela and Alistair than I was before. This series added some real depth to all three of them — especially Isabela — so I had a lot of fun with this! Mae is wonderful too, I'm glad to see her return.
The finale of the trilogy, closing out the various threads. Was a satisfying finish, but wasn't as good as the second book, the POV switched again to a less interesting one for me, and the resolution was a little lucky maybe? against the previous books where while fortuitous, seemed driven by the protagonists more than in this one. Still enjoyable read, and did reach a good end result.
Enjoyable, but not particularly notable.Varric makes a great narrator, always. And the setting was interesting. The story progresses and concludes rather quickly, but it still had it's moments (they maybe just didn't have as much weight as they might have with a longer build up).Also enjoy the characters; they're always the highlight with Dragon Age.
A solid ending to the series. The art was amazing, especially in the Fade. The only negative is that the ending felt rushed again, but I still enjoyed it. I totally recommend the series to any fans of Dragon Age.
3.75I liked this a whole lot better than the previous installments of this comic series, probably because it was in Varric's perspective. Gotta love his storytelling ;) and it had less of this awful version of Alistair which still looks like shit.
