The Ending was pretty great heartfelt moment, but that's all there is great in this book really . The Plot twist were they discover the ruined dragon island was okay and pretty exciting too the journeyto the island was good but the rest of it was meh and the whole nassuada and yhorns rider I forgot his name was lame, I mean he only just met her once and he was done what is with this love at first sight thing and how the hell did he survive galbatorix torture I mean come on will power I'm so tired of this bullshit. And the most dissaponited thing for me the whole freaking end battle it was all a dumb mess making Eragons cousin some great fighter when clearly he doesn,t had any former training all just lazy writing and the way they defeated GAlbatorix ughhhhhh , and what the hell did they do to saphira at tyhe end mating with that elfs dragon on sight het whole character crumbled before my eyes. ughh atleast it has a somewhat melancholy heroic ending that's the only satisfaction I got .
I skim read almost 50% of the book because it was uninteresting or boring

Great way to finish - best book in the inheritance cycle. Loose ends mostly dealt with but enough material for future tales.

This is the final book in the (original) Inheritance Cycle, where the Varden finally confronts the Empire in a final push to over throw Galbatorix and change their future forever.
I listened to the audiobook. I think this may have exacerbated some of my negative reactions to parts of this book. First of all, I found a lot of the fight scenes (at least in the battles, not the more one-on-one fight scenes like we get more towards the end of the book) kind of boring. Like, oh, Rorin just killed another man in battle and now another soldier is trying to kill him, can we move on and just get the highlights? My other main issue was that Paolini sometimes seems to say something, and then repeat the same thing in different words a couple more times in the next few sentences. I get that he thought it was deep/important/sounded cool or something, and I think this may have not really bothered me if I had read the print/ebook rather than the audiobook, but it kind of did bother me. The end also felt very drawn out, and while I do appreciate having all of the loose ends wrapped up, I thought it could have been done more quickly, as having three(ish, I think) hours of the audiobook left (around 10%!) after the climax was a bit much, and I think several of the scenes could have been condensed and, at times, combined to provide the same information.
Overall, I enjoyed this series, but it did have some flaws. It's an interesting work of fantasy good for earlier/younger fans of the genre but not something incredibly special. Angela is possibly one of my favorite characters ever, however.
