I loved this last novel and how everything wrapped up! Endings are always tricky and can make or break a series and this ending was fantastic!! All the books were great but this one was my favorite.

note: I listened to the audiobook version for every book in this series. Therefore I have no idea how to actually spell any of the character or place names and my attempts will probably be wrong.
Slow start. ending. Wonderful middle bits.
Sooooo... what I had been hoping for since way back when in this series (and this is marked as a spoiler purely because this *didn't* happen)
But then that thing with happened and and it was obvious that that wasn't going to happen.
But you know what? Eragon had gotten on my nerves at this point so yeah,
Anywho... my main appreciation for this book - other than the wonderful middle bits in which all my favorite characters continued to be awesome badasses - is that it gives proper closure. You're not left hanging on all those things you wanted to know. What happens all too often is:
*FINAL EPIC BATTLE THAT THE WHOLE SERIES HAS BEEN BUILDING UP TO*
-The End-
WHAT?!? WHERE IS THE REST? What happened with so-and-so and whats-his-face? What happened to who's-his-name's kid? Did they ever do the thing? WHAT HAPPENED TO THE PLOT DEVICE??!
Inheritance spends about 3 adiobook hours tying up those loose ends and now-what?'s you're going to want to know about. Believe it or not, those last 3 hours still manage to be interesting. My only lament
All in all, this was a wonderful end to a wonderful beginning. (and was probably worth hammering through book 3, which was long and not in a good way, just sayin')

was for the last egg to hatch for Nasuada and then she would run off with Eragon instead of Aria and everything would be happyfuntimes.But then that thing with

Aria started being all coy and flirty with Eragon (which I found annoying because, hell, she had been stolidly telling him "no" for ages and OBVIOUSLY eventually he'd get some years and experience on him. She could've told him "not yet" the whole while.)But you know what? Eragon had gotten on my nerves at this point so yeah,

run off with Mertag, Nasuada. Run off into the dragony sunset and have weird happydragonyfuntimes with the disgraced son of Morzan and er... give up the throne and... er... oh fuck it all, this isn't going to work either, is it?

is that neither romance really resolves. They could, you know, years later... but they don't by the end of the series and it makes me sad. Not so much Eragon and Aria, because they've both annoyed me. But Nasuada and Mertag. Man... If any two people deserved happiness... I'd love to see an off-shoot where those two got a proper romance.All in all, this was a wonderful end to a wonderful beginning.

An end to a great series with battles that stick with me and characters that taught me many lessons. I only wish to have had more pages with Galbatorix but nonetheless the evil king's motives were a perfect argument to the fantastical world of Alagaesia.
The first 300 pages was a snooze fest but I liked how the end came together.
They killed the king in kind of a dumb way but of course they were going to win! They couldn’t have failed that mission.
I liked Eragons growth and I like all his friends and I like all the new dragons. I’m debating on reading more about this story with the to newer books that have come/are coming out of this series.
