This was a brilliant book. I had a fabulous time reading it. There were a lot of details that were intricate. The worldbuilding continued to blow me away. The characters and their various relationships amazed me. While the plot was a little predictable, it kept me interested and engaged.

So now, why 3 stars?
To start with, I don't enjoy the writing and how things are described that much. I still don't like Eragon much as a character but he was tolerable and he was less annoying as I'd found him in previous books. And lastly, I hate that I spent three years reading the first 3 books in this series and hardly enjoying them only for this to be so good I could barely put it down for the last three days.
As for the ending, I didn't hate it, nor did I love it, but I couldn't see any other way of ending it because of how Galbatorix had been built up with his power and skill with magic.

There is generally a lot of war in this series, and this book is no different; in fact, it has somewhat less fighting than previous volumes. However, there are still descriptions of violence, including a character losing a handreadbyella_'s review against another edition
