I already completely ignore Dragon Age's other media, since they're it even pretending to care about continuity between their canon and our games, but I've been interested in the Mass Effect media because they've at least made some effort to create stories that don't contradict our personal canon. Sure there's been a handful of mistakes and retcons, but for the most part they're generally excusable (Human councillor is maybe the one I can't really stomach).

This however betrays a complete indifference towards continuity and canon even apart from our games. We know that this book was vetted by Hudson and Walters (as seen on Twitter by Hudson, and apparently confirmed by the author for both), and yet it still came to market. It is impossible to have any kind of faith in the team keeping continuity if they let this garbage out.
