This book is very much about Murtagh dealing with his past trauma, not only when he was working for the evil king, but also just his unbringing in general. There are some tough moments in this book, both for Murtagh and for Thorn.
Also, I forgot how long winded Paolini is. I don't think this book necessarily needed to be this long, but it's not surprising that it is. There's some unresolved things, so I wouldn't be surprised if Paolini also revisited this world again in the future, either with Murtagh or with Eragon. I'm sure we'll be getting more books.

I did love thorn he is precious and must be protected at all cost.
I did see a change in the writing which has improved, but at almost no point did I actually get drawn in to the story, I spent more time rolling my eyes at Murtagh than literally anything else. Would not read again, or if I did I would literally just skip to the last several chapters.
