I will always adore this series so much. Inheritance brings it to a satisfying, if bittersweet, close. The ending feels right,

and the choices Eragon and Saphira make, while sad and difficult, are a true and honest path for their characters.

I also feel like the development in Eragon shines the most in this book, and we really understand him

(just as he understands himself). Galbatorix's ending is also so well done; it shows how Eragon's compassion and sense of justice are such core tenants of his character, as well as the true divide between the two remaining Shur'tugal at the time.

Christopher Paolini shaped so much of my love for fantasy when I read Eragon as a kid (12yo), and I loved rereading the series as an adult 12 years later (24yo). Now to read Murtagh!
