Finally finished with the Inheritance Cycle! It’s nice knowing the ending after putting it off for… 14 years. 😬
There was a lot of good in the book. Paolini’s writing improved SO much over the course of the series and this book was fat and away his best writing yet. He also did a nice job wrapping up the loose ends so the conclusion feels final. 

That said, I feel like the book went on 200 pages longer than it needed to. Some of the big moments felt really predictable and that kind of took away from the impact. Also, my poor lover heart can’t handle that Eragon leaves Arya at the end. LET ME LOVER BOY BE HAPPY. HE HAS DONE ENOUGH 😭🐉
