RPGWatch Feature: Book Review - The Stolen Throne

We can't play the game yet but we can read the book. Prime Junta casts an acerbic eye over David Gaider's first outing as an author - Dragon Age: The Stolen Throne.  Here's a snip:

-- So, Mr. Gaider, let's hear about this book project of yours. Fantasy, yes?

-- Yes! Dark fantasy! You know, magic, swords, princes, monsters, witches, dwarves, elves... but dark! And gritty! And, you know, mature! Also, it's pronounced "GUY-der."

-- Sorry, Mr. GUY-der.

-- It's OK, I get that all the time.

-- So, dark fantasy. What's the story about?

-- It's called The Stolen Throne, and it's about a rightful prince who wants to regain his ancestral throne from an evil foreign usurper who has... stolen it. In a kingdom called Ferelden. His name is Maric, and he's the son of the Rebel Queen, Moira.

-- Tell me about this prince. What's he like?

-- He's blond, and handsome, and has an infectious charm, and terribly courageous, he's very good with a sword, and he wouldn't think twice to sacrifice his life for his people, but his people love him so much they won't let him.
