We conclude the story with Eragon approaching his encounter with Galbatorix after losing his mentor. Eragon knows that he must somehow find a way to defeat the most powerful sorcerer of all time.
His character development of Eragon and Murtagh is delightful to follow. Eragon gains wisdom and Murtagh recognizes the fragility of his moral compass. I loved the creative resolution and felt like I could learn a lesson from the choices I witnessed Eragon face. I brought the book with me to other states, homes, and events for a month, and it was worth it.
The ending felt rushed, and I would have developed the final encounter in more detail. There were unanswered questions and futures for us to ponder, such as Elva and the Ra'zac. If you like adventure, YA, fantasy, magic, and creatures, this is the book for you. Eragon's coming of age story is entertaining because we continue to encounter new flaws even as he grows. I will be recommending this book to my 16-year old niece and adding it to my audiobook library.

This was a brilliant book. I had a fabulous time reading it. There were a lot of details that were intricate. The worldbuilding continued to blow me away. The characters and their various relationships amazed me. While the plot was a little predictable, it kept me interested and engaged.
