I think it was a little slow in the beginning, but the last third I read non-stop until I finished. I remembered very little of it, I actually don't even remember re-reading it in 2018, and I was so confused lmao, for example I thought the Aroughs' siege was in Brisingr and it actually happens in this one.
I think it was a solid ending, even tho it broke my heart. I do have a couple of complaints, but some of them you can kind of explain I guess.
Also, forever being depressed about Eragon and Murtagh,

I'm glad Eragon got his head out of his ass, but Murtagh still deserves an actual apology

As much as the romantic in me wants to disagree, I liked the ending to the book, although my logical brain strikes an issue with the “leave and never return” thing. Just because the last time he leaves, he won’t return, doesn’t mean he can’t return after the first time, right??
