A book or a film, however, is a much more passive experience, so should really focus much more on plot than action. Ultimately, a video game must be played, so it must be three parts action to one part plot. This seems like a good thing, but famously, video game tie-in novels and films tend to flop precisely because people try too hard to recreate the game in the fiction. He has a style which is very action heavy and invokes memories of the video game very strongly. Much like the first Dishonored book, I can't decide if this one suffers or is helped by being written by Adam Christopher. It's as if they had been building some wibbly wobbly timey wimey subplot for quite a while, maybe for, I don't know, the 3rd novel that has been announced? (pretty please?) Wow, the Dishonored-verse sure is getting complicated. However, I haven't read Peeress and the Price yet so I can't tell you about this one for now. If you need some chronology: The Return of Daud takes place during the events of Dishonored 2, but I'd advise you to read it after playing through Death of the Outsider, especially if you haven't read The Wyrmwood Deceit. It gave me some feels and answers, even though I'm still disappointed by Daud's whole “I've made terrible decisions and it's the Outsider's fault!” shtick, but now I. If I sound surprised, it's because I never managed to finish The Corroded Man which (in my opinion) was a repetitive and tedious read, and there was always something making me go “tsk” at one point or another.īut The Return of Daud is honestly GREAT: good pacing, good writing, interesting secondary characters The Devlins are the best and nice little ties with the second game without being too on the nose, everything I could have asked for.
