It was just so bad. I loved Eragon, but this...everything was awful. Plot, writing, characters, character development (oh, it was disgusting), basically everything you can think of. I wanted to like this. I listened for well over six hours, and then started over and listened for DAYS because I wanted to love it. But it is, alas, impossible. 

Sci-fi is NOT this man's genre. Romance, also, definitely is not the move for him. Perhaps fantasy. Fairy tales. Genres where melodrama, generalizations, and so on are sometimes acceptable.

I picked up the Audio book because it was read by Jennifer Hale (of Mass Effect). The book is objectively well written, but it failed to retain my interest
