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 way Eragon is able to challenge the king is kind of a cop out, but I still enjoyed it since it did dive into the trauma the dragons faced and allowed them to fight back as well. I also wish there was some way that Earagon could have stayed, he has his reasoning but I think I would have enjoyed this book more if it ended happier and more fulfilling. The ending also leaves a lot unanswered. What about Arya's developing feelings? Angela's past? The werecats future? Does Earagon reach a safe space to house the dragons? Does Saphria have children after mating? Does that mate bond apply to Earagon as well since it was mentioned in an earlier book that they're bond of love will include the other? Anyways, it was a good read, better than the previous books but i wish more happened rather than just explaining the world or emotions.

There is generally a lot of war in this series, and this book is no different; in fact, it has somewhat less fighting than previous volumes. However, there are still descriptions of violence, including a character losing a hand

(temporarily—it is repaired with magic)

, but even this is not described in too graphic a way. There are also torture scenes

which mostly involve using hot irons, strange bugs that crawl under the skin (but don’t do much more than cause pain), and gaslighting/mental manipulation

, but no sexual violence. There are also several mentions/descriptions of atomic bombs and their effects, though they are not named as such and it’s in a fantasy-like way.

It's been over a decade and I'm still going feral over the

all-conquering power of empathy
