Apologies as I'm sure a thread for this book already exists, but couldn't find it.
I just finished listening to the audio book of The Last Flight and it was such a great and tragic story. I knew the major plot points from forum lurking and never found much reason to read it, but I had a lot of audible credits to use and the recent BTS at Bioware video rekindled my interest in Dragon Age. I'm glad I finally heard the actual story because it was well written and the narrator gave a great performance for the most part.
I live in the part of the U.S. that is being affected by wild fires right now, and it put a different lens on the book for me. It was a little surreal listening about the people fleeing their homes from the blight while I had my own stuff packed in case I needed to evacuate my home. (Thankfully, the fire never got close enough that we /needed/ to leave, but I watched many neighbors pack a car and get out) I found myself drawing comparisons to real and fictional events and I could feel the fear of the characters. At times I was even unable to continue the book because certain things hit a little too close to home.
I'm greatly looking forward to weisshaupt in the next game and hope we get to meet Valya, Caranel, and of course the gryphons!
Isseya was a great character too, I loved her determination, wit, and perseverance.
Also, could Davrin be one of the first gryphon riders in centuries?
