It's the final installment of the Inheritance Cycle and war with Galbatorix is imminent. We join Eragon, Roran, Arya, and Nasuada as they make their final preparations and fight their final battle. Will they prevail?

I loved the way this ended. I appreciated all of the action as well as the tight wrap up. I still have questions, but everything that would keep me up has been answered tidily. The framework for the final battle was laid out nicely over these four books and I appreciate that we really used every skill in our arsenal to accomplish our goals. I also loved how many older characters were brought back up. Truly just a great ending that did it all!

I would've liked the final battle to be a bit more interesting, and I think we spend a bit too much time with Roran over all. Ultimately though, I don't think I'd change a thing about this book. Everything was planned and purposeful.

I love this series and would recommend it to all dragon lovers and fantasy lovers.
