Review by Daniel P. McCormick for Mass Effect: Retribution
Rating:
I hadn’t read Revelation and Ascension until after I had completed ME and ME2 (the latter being, in my opinion, the best game I have ever played) and I loved the opportunity to learn more about the ME universe and its inhabitants.
Retribution is, in that respect, more like Revelation than Ascension. There is a bit more development of characters who played a major role in both games, such as David Anderson and the Illusive Man. Karpyshyn didn’t waste time re-explaining any of the concepts from the games or other books after providing the exposition to this story. After the first few chapters, the action (and the stakes) ramps up exponentially until an ultimately exciting conclusion, with the action sure to affect the storyline of ME3 in the future.
I probably don’t need to say it, but if you’re a Mass Effect fan, you’ll probably appreciate this exciting addition to the series.

Review by Thomas Race for Mass Effect: Retribution
Rating:
Retribution builds on the characters introduced in the previous books and video games (especially Paul Grayson, Kahlee Sanders, David Anderson, and Aria T’Loak)and introduces a few new ones too. If you enjoyed the story of the first two games, the books are worthwhile, and this new edition is up to par with the first two. Retribution is fast-paced and entertaining, but would be difficult for someone who hasn’t read the first two in the series. Drew Karpyshyn also wrote the Star Wars: Darth Bane trilogy and read similarly.

I’ve read Ascension and Revelation and was very excited for this book, and it delivered on everything I expected. Gives great character insight to the Illusive Man and Aria T’Loak. The changes that Grayson experiences are described quite well and it makes me more excited than ever for Mass Effect 3. It does a really good job of immersing you into the world of mass effect, making it easy for the reader to relate to characters living 150 years in the future. Although every time Anderson talks, I can hear him speaking in his voice. All in all a great book and a must read for all mass effect fans.

Review by Jason Neuman for Mass Effect: Retribution

Great book! I love the ME universe. I have played ME multiple times with paragon and renegade characters and imported these characters to ME2…and finished ME2 multiple times with different scenerios. Revelation and Ascension are wonderful books, enriching the Mass Effect universe and adding depth to the characters. I love how each book sets up the next game and Retribution does not dissapoint. I could not put this book down. I cant wait for ME3!!!
On a side note. BIOWARE… PLEASE PLEASE dont let this movie suck!! So much can go wrong. Dont let Hollywood screw up an amazing story. I can almost see the fail train now. “Samuel Jackson” as Captain Anderson, Lady GAGA as Tali… If anything I better see Seth Green play “Joker”.

Review by Terrance Shaw for Mass Effect: Retribution
Rating:
I’ve been following Mass Effect relatively closely since it was released, playing through the original Mass Effect’s campaign several times, and then through all of Mass Effect 2 in its entirety.
So of course, when I found out that there were books to go along with the games, I was all over it.
Revelation and Ascension were outstanding books, also by the one and only Drew Karphyshyn, the lead writer on the Mass Effect franchise. Revelation was a pre-story, leading up to the events of Mass Effect, filling in more of the origins of some of the main characters of the franchise. Ascension fell shortly after Mass Effect, opening up some more subplots within the story and adding more characters, including the biotic child prodigy, Gillian, and her father, Paul Grayson. To be honest, their introduction left me wanting more, and I was pleasantly surprised (and thankful) that that particular subplot made a return in Retribution in a rather big way.
What’s more, we get to revisit Omega, a quest hub that players become intimately familiar with after playing Mass Effect 2, and learn more about the Pirate Queen, Aria T’Loak, a few other minor characters, and of course the Illusive Man, himself.
All in all, Retribution brings everything up to speed, answers a lot of the questions that I had after finishing the ME2 campaign, and leaves me on the edge of my seat waiting for the next installment in an already epic tale.
