The story itself was a little slow paced. For much of it, it felt like it didn't have any larger impact on the world, although the way Paolini left the end of the book makes me certain that this will come back. This may not be "the book 5" of the inheritance series, but i definitely do not think that it will be a skippable part of it. I do think that a lot of it was reminiscent of the Roran chapters of Eragon- if you didn't like those when you read them, this might also be a miss for you.
A lot of it read like filler, for instance everything prior to Nal Gorgoth feels like part of a different story, as if Paolini wasn't sure how to quickly bridge the gap between Inheritance and Murtagh. But i did enjoy the character moments that that portion of the book brought us, so i can't complain too much about it.
All in all, it wasn't my favorite part of the World of Eragon, but i did think it was an enjoyable read and it makes me excited for a return to the world and the main series.

I loved the totally refreshing perspective as Murtagh and Eragon are both so different.
And then we have the cult and the witch herself. By far exceeded my expectations of the enemy set up for the continuation of the Inheritance Cycle.
Can't wait to see what's next.
