Also, just wanna gripe about one of the writer's annotations on Isabela -- I am sooooo done with creators clutching their pearls about "exploitative" or "oversexualized" portrayals of female characters **already designed with deliberate sex appeal in mind.** Just go all the way with it, ffs. 🙄 Eastern creators don't have this weird hangup, which is why we're blessed with characters like 2B and Eve.

I can't believe how much game-changing stuff is in here that most DA fans probably don't even know about. The fate of King Maric. A crazy lore revelation about Calenhad. The actual (kinda) debut of Bianca Davri. Varric fanservice. Isabela's past and her former name. Sten as the Arishok. I knew about that last one, but somehow the rest of it never made it to me through fandom osmosis. Glad I read this.

I liked Those Who Speak much better than Silent Grove -- more immediate drama and stakes, and it felt like a more complete story instead of ending just when things got interesting. Also got some enjoyable angles of Isabela in the panels......

First graphic novel I've touched in......forever, honestly. Art looks really nice and the story so far is up to scratch, though I wish the cast wouldn't banter so much in life-threatening situations. I wouldn't normally want to read something annotated for the first time, but they're not bothersome (yet) and they're helpful at easing me in to a story that's far out of my typical medium.
