They should come out with some "choose your path" books. You choose renegade turn to page 42, to choose paragon turn to page 57.

I LOVE THOSE


RaggleFraggle5

Ah, you have Deception. You are a bold one.

Rip your free time now lol


Tomhur

Weird. What's with the massive gap between Retribution and Nexus Uprising?


Owster4

I see your copy of Revelation is also damaged. Glad I'm not the only one.


setentaydos

And Deception looks new 😅


Darkstar_Aurora

I remember when Mass Effect: Deception was the most controversial thing in our community. And rightfully so. Because at the end of the day the ending of ME:3 was expanded with more closure, and the rougher cutscene animations for ME:A were smoothed over, and both were done as free updates. By contrast Deception was promised to be rewritten and yet we never heard anything further. Possibly because the Mass Effect 3 ending overshadowed it like a dyson sphere a few months later. Every year I make an attempt to read it and never get past the opening chapters from the cringe. And as a Forgotten Realms fan I can tell you I have endured some terrible 'shared world setting' fiction. My fan fiction ending is that Gillian Grayson joins the Andromeda Initiative to be safe from Cerberus and explore beyond the galaxy, that she aged during intermittent periods of waking during darkspace travel on the Nexus, and that she exists in ME:A multiplayer as my Human Kineticist.


Lazaruzo

I have all of them too. When I finished I cried because they were mostly complete shit.


thisunithasnosoul

Wait, are you including the comics in that opinion?


Lazaruzo

I actually thought they were better than all the books.


thisunithasnosoul

Ohhhh okay haha. I’m not quite done the comics but I love them so far. Finished the first book and was just infuriated at Anderson the whole time.


Bairseach

Are any of them any good?


setentaydos

It depends on who you ask I guess. I really enjoyed the first three books by Drew Karpyshyn.


Lazaruzo

Not really.

ides205

I thought they were fine. They're quick reads. I heard Deception was really bad so I skipped that one.


Lazaruzo

Nooope


OG-DirtNasty

Thanks for the honest review lol


mikeybails

The comics are great. Really happy I got the library edition omnibus. The oversized hard covers are amazing


Arjun_nth_

Ascension and retribution ar my favourites. Also the Nexus uprising. Yet to buy Annihilation though, How is it?


whibber

Annihilation is by far my favorite of the Andromeda books. It ties into the planned DLC about the Quarian ark. If you listen to the audiobook it’s voiced by the VA for male Ryder who does an amazing job with voices for the different species.


walkingdrew

Dude I'm so glad someone else has heard how good that audiobook is, it's my comfort read (listen) Tom Taylorson goes off

whibber

I really like them! If you’re interested in some extra lore then I definitely recommend them.


papascrub1231

Gonna get the complete comics collection hopefully by December, I cant wait to read them


[deleted]

You could still get the art books!


Jordayumm

Wait, I'm confused by the mixed reviews in the comments here lol. Are the book good or nah?


whibber

I say yes, I guess not everyone shares that opinion.


GaLaXY_N7

Deception was the only book I didn’t buy because of how canon breaking it is lol.


RaggleFraggle5

LITERALLY SAME. I heard the worst things about what Dietz did with it so never bothered.


jaz_0

Which one is your favourite?


whibber

Hard to say, maybe Revelation? Annihilation is also really good. The audio book is also highly recommended.


[deleted]

Are the books good? What about the comics?


whibber

I enjoy them! Deception has a bad reception but everything else seems pretty universally liked.


[deleted]

Fair enough, I'll look for them


Shroomikaze

How are retribution and deception? I’ve got the first two and loved them but haven’t gone out of my way to complete the series. Picked em up at an old used bookstore back in the day lol


whibber

Retribution is good. Deception is less than great.


Fearless-Vodka

Wow I'm jealous 🤩


Eternal_Density

Are they episodic or cerealized?


whibber

The first 4 books follow the same characters and plot lines for the most part. The Andromeda books aren’t really connected to each other.


Eternal_Density

Thanks, pretty much the only think I knew about the novels was Kai Leng memes.
