The Silent Grove: 2 stars
Those Who Speak: 2 stars
Until We Sleep: 3 stars
Magekiller: 4 stars
Knight Errant: 5 stars
The first 3 volumes in this were not very good... the characters didn't really feel like the same in the games, and their interactions felt iffy. I think it's worse for someone who has played the games and has a particular "world state" or playthrough in mind, so an expectation to how these characters developed.
The last two volumes, the most recent ones, were my favourite. I think because they followed characters we had not previously encountered in the games, and so they were free of any expectations. I hope we encounter them in the next game though! It seemed to be the goal of these volumes - to set things up for the 4th game that should be coming out this year. Are they milking it? Sure, but as long as it's somewhat good!
The art style was a bit all over the place, but I preferred the one for Magekiller out of all of them I think. Knight Errant felt a bit too cartoony... Ironic because that's what they seem to be going for with the 4th game now! blah
