The way Eragon is able to challenge the king is kind of a cop out, but I still enjoyed it since it did dive into the trauma the dragons faced and allowed them to fight back as well. I also wish there was some way that Earagon could have stayed, he has his reasoning but I think I would have enjoyed this book more if it ended happier and more fulfilling. The ending also leaves a lot unanswered. What about Arya's developing feelings? Angela's past? The werecats future? Does Earagon reach a safe space to house the dragons? Does Saphria have children after mating? Does that mate bond apply to Earagon as well since it was mentioned in an earlier book that they're bond of love will include the other? Anyways, it was a good read, better than the previous books but i wish more happened rather than just explaining the world or emotions.
