But guys, you should definitely read this!!! Check the trigger warnings though, because it’s a LOT darker than the inheritance cycle.
Revelations I had while reading this books
1) Murtagh’s education was VERY lacking compared to Eragon’s
2) It was fun to see how Murtagh handled situations
That said my heart WEEPS for Thorn and Murtagh. Their past? What happens in this book! And it just went to show why Murtagh is such a great character, and this book definitely lived up to the inheritance cycle. If only quite a lot bit darker
Also, finally I have to say, I love how Paolini plays with the language - especially when Uvek and Murtagh are both influenced by the Breath.
