Oh que bom regressar à Alagaësia mais uma vez! Foi com alegria que peguei neste livro porque o Ciclo da Herança foi uma série que me acompanhou durante a adolescência e cuja leitura adorei a cada segundo (a cada leitura e inúmeras releituras!) e claro, seria um enorme prazer voltar a saber de Eragon e Saphira. Contudo, este livro acaba por acompanhar Eragon e Saphira em momentos bastante aborrecidos, enquanto a academia para dragões e cavaleiros ainda está a ser construída - à parte disto, temos três histórias que dão título a este livro, que se passam em terras longínquas, em tempos longínquos ou que nunca se passaram. E sinceramente só o primeiro me recordou, e fugazmente, a magia da série original. O segundo é uma compilação de memórias de Ângela, a herbanária (e não a bruxa - pelo menos nunca foi chamada assim anteriormente) que pouco contam, mas que fazem bom jogo de palavras; o terceiro é um conto compridíssimo da história dos Urgals, que adorava que fosse bem mais curto.
Acho que a única coisa boa que este livro traz é vontade de reler a série original, porque essa sim, vale a pena.

Reading The Fork, the Witch, and the Worm felt like going back home to the world of Alagaësia, and that makes me happy

This was a really fun and short read, if you particularly enjoy the world of Alagaësia. After re-reading the Inheritance Cycle (first time reading was back in middle school about 12-13 years ago), it was nice to finally have some more lore and little updates on the lives of these characters- something I have longed for, for quite some time. And I really enjoyed the short story format in which these were told!

I am definitely biased when it comes to Paolini, as these books were one of my first major fantasy series as an adolescent. I just simply very much enjoy the story, the setting, and of course, the dragons.
