Inheritance by Christopher Paolini
5.0
Okay, first off...page 814: Raxacori.......cofallapatorius?! (Did anyone else think this was an obvious hint that Paolini is a Whovian, cause that was awesome lol.)
There were a few things I felt got dropped (namely, who - and possibly what - Angela really is, and the importance of the mark Saphira gave Elva, which ended up not being important at all, which was odd).
But, otherwise, I couldn't have been happier with Inheritance. The resolution was incredibly inventive. Just when it seemed like there was NO WAY POSSIBLE at all for Eragon to succeed, he found a way that I never would have thought of. All in all, it was fantastic writing. And the ending, while highly reminiscent of the end of Lord of the Rings (), was still uniquely satisfying in that heartbreaking-yet-happy sort of way that you can't help but love.
Past that, I feel like there's not much else I can add that I didn't already say in my review of Brisingr. So, I'll just end by saying that despite the rocky beginning, I'm glad I pushed through to Brisingr and Inheritance, because it was totally worth it. I'm sad to tell this world goodbye, which I didn't think would happen when I was reading Eldest. All in all, it was as series worth the acclaim.

Eragon leaves forever, just as Frodo left forever, though he's leaving for a slightly different reasonPast that, I feel like there's not much else I can add that I didn't already say in my review of Brisingr.
