Overall? Loved it.
Just one, pretty minor, complaint: the first 30% or so of the book was mostly fighting and battles, which made the book drag. It could've done with some condensing without losing any substance.
I remember hearing in the past that many readers didn't like how the series ended. Personally, I like the ending. Everything gets tied up, but the bow is messy in a good way. Things aren't perfect; things can still go wrong.

The ending wasn't as satisfying as I would have liked, but it did fit the story.

such a good conclusion to this series, most importantly because of the hope for the dragons. and I am super glad the book took its time to resolve so many little open things and didn't just end with killing the king . always loved the inheritance cycle, and rereading it as a grownup just made me realize how much paolini improved as a writer over the course of the four books. he grew alongside eragon and that makes me happy:)
