Murtagh by Christopher Paolini

dark
emotional
slow-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

There were multiple occasions where I told my husband that I was going to DNF the book if “this 2014 emo pick-me whiny boy” said one more of his “poems”. I really liked Murtagh in the original series because he was a little angst-y and mysterious. Hearing his internal monologue absolutely ruined it.
I did love thorn he is precious and must be protected at all cost.
I did see a change in the writing which has improved, but at almost no point did I actually get drawn in to the story, I spent more time rolling my eyes at Murtagh than literally anything else. Would not read again, or if I did I would literally just skip to the last several chapters.
