Inheritance by Christopher PaoliniMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
I received this book as a Christmas and had been anticipating it since I finished the last book. I cracked it open and realized, I had totally forgotten what was in the last book! Bad me. I dove right in anyway.
The first thing I thought was that there was war. I get war, they are in the middle of it. The battles were well executed. I enjoyed the character change as well, but some times it was irksome when in the middle of the battle when the character changed point of view.
But the final battle was brilliant. I never expected it at all. It was a fantastic end to a most hated man. A very fitting end as well. But leading up to it, the trial Eragon faced, was kinda meh. It was just thrown in there kinda randomly to me and I was not very impressed.
And the end seemed quite drawn out to me. Though I am quite happy that it did not just end with a happily ever after. The path to 'what next' after a war was brilliant. The problems, the pressures and the final decisions. Wonderfully done and the very last chapter left so much open for people to wonder.
Now halfway through the story I looked at it and wondered when it was going to end. That probably was the reason why I rated it so low. It was just never ending and I actually found myself slightly bored till the end.
I'd read this again, but only after I've read the rest of the series again. Maybe then I'd be a bit more excited about it.
