Great book!
I think I won't finish reading the book. I was hyped in the beginning and genuinely enjoying the first half but I have to admit: I think it's boring af. I re-read the entire Inheritance Cycle so that I am up to date with Eragon so I can read Murtagh.... it's by far my least favourite book. The plot feels random, the pacing feels off and Murtagh doesn't seem to be the character I thought he was.
I was expecting more.
1/10 at most. absolutely despise the book.
Why because your expectations weren’t met?
@@jhinckle90 No, ... because only to name a few of the many reasons: 1. There is so sooooo much more that paolini has not concluded or explained at the end of the last book of IC and it just feels unfinished reaaly unfinished. There is so much more that should have been in a book way before this katastrophe here. 2. The first half of the book at least feels like a mediocre DnD campaign with no reason for it to be like that other than "characters be assholes." 3. The focus is way to much on murtagh i feel like Thorn was almost ignored in this book. He could have been explored a huge lot more. 4. Admitedly i never liked Murtagh that much but man ... he acts like a stubborn, unreasonable and sometimes just ignorant child.
Thats just a few things i despise about it.
To be fair the ending and the small part around it was alright but thats it.
@@slayyyyingNas thank you for proving a point, the author doesn’t need to meet our expectations at all. We don’t decide how the character should or could be, it’s his story, we don’t have to like it but the point isn’t whether we want the character to be what we want them to be.
@@slayyyyingNas he didn’t care, I think we read into the fact that he only turned against Galbatorix because Eragon had found his true name, and released him from his bonds, he also refused very adamantly to turn against him to spare Thorn. It wasn’t as if he was a good person, or even broken, he was a survivor and survivors will do anything to survive, even without morals and values.
Good and evil are relative concepts, but nothing he did was good, the consequences of his actions in some specific cases were good, but to be clear he killed Ooromis and Glaedr…does and should he really receive all this adoration for being, no more but certainly just a man who is self focused?
@@jhinckle90 your comments are annoying and frustrating to read.
Just thought you should know.
