Very slow but very enjoyable - so nothing out of the ordinary for Paolini’s writing. A good sequel to Eragon with a lot more focus on developing Eragon and looking into more the cultures of some of the other races
yes I mostly just mean the elves, but the Blood-Oath Celebration was so interesting
. The only thing that bothered me was Eragon’s pining after Arya. She made it clear she didn’t want to date him several times, but he kept going
until she literally ended their friendship because of how much it was bothering her
But that’s my only complaint. Everything else was fantastic.
