I’m so glad that Murtagh and Thorn got to have that story! And I sincerely hope that ending means we’re getting more of the Inheritance series!

I throughly enjoyed this story and diving back into this world but there were times when I wish there was a bit more editing as some parts took forever! It did make things very tense but also made them drag out longer than necessary or was really enjoyable. I also hope that at some point there will be a sequel because while this portion of the story did end, there was so much left wide open!

I had a feverish compulsion to read the whole book in 2 days, and can say Paolini maintains his throne as the king of addictive fantasy shlock. I look forward to the next one.

I love the lyricallity of his writing. It was nice to catch up with Murtagh and all his complicated feelings. I really like where the story picked up in the timeline and the progression. Honestly I just really enjoy the characters and the world building so much. There's something really settled about it. It's covered in dust but not dirty. Not sticky feeling like a lot of the romantasy books out there right now. Not that there is anything wrong with them, lord knows I read a ton of them. But there's just something like, the first deep breath of loam, about this book that I really love. He always flirts with the romance aspect and while I would love to see a little more of that come forward, it makes sense that it doesn't. He has so many complicated feelings about who he is and what he deserves. Compacted by Thorns own feelings and guilt. I like a good yearn for him. He wants so badly to deserve the love she wants to give him. It's just very tender and precious and I love it the way it is but I also selfishly want more. It's just great writing.
