Before he could suggest a new topic, a loud scream rang out from some where in the middle of the camp. The cry echoed three times over the rows of tents before fading into silence. Eragon looked at Angela, and she at him, and they both began to laugh.
As he was about to leave,she said,"Murtagh." He paused and turned to regard her.She hesitated for a moment,then mustered her courage and said,"Why?".She thought he understood her meaning:Why her?Why save her,and now why try to rescue her?She had guessed at the answer,but she wanted to hear him say it. He stared at her for the longest while,and then,in a low hard voice,he said,"You know why." pg 495

Add a CommentSorry for those who haven't read it and don't want a spoiler, but I haven't read it and I was reading about it somewhere and somewhere it said something about Saphira died is that true?
I never read Lord of the Rings, so I don't know if this book is a rip-off of it like people say. I do think it is a good book, though it could have been ended a little better. Also the battle with Galbatorix did not go the way I expected at all. I enjoyed this series overall, but I couldn't really get into the characters. My favorites are Eragon and Blodhgarm.
Good battles but sucky ending arrrgggghhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When reading this, I felt as if I was reading another book. It's almost like Paolini took the books of the Lord of the Rings and Naria and put them into one series. It was very disappointing.
This whole series is a joke. I find the fact that Paolini took direct lines from the Lord of the Rings extremely pretentious. There are three that come to mind immediately; I'm sure there are more. In fact, there are so many aspects of this series that are blatantly Lord of the Rings, it's almost offensive. Especially the ending, which so many people seem to have felt so poignantly - it's a direct parallel to Frodo's leaving Middle-Earth for Valinor in Rerturn of the King. Also, the fact that he actually made Arya the next rider is so disappointing. You could see it coming from a mile off. I had hoped it was going to be that girl he saw briefly - the one Angela was casting the knuckle bones for. But she never made another appearance, which bothers me. Every aspect of the climax and ending was completely predictable. There really were no surprises. At all. Actually, the whole of the series follows a very cliche arc...it's on the verge of being personality-less. I mean, I have nothing against Paolini, really. For an author as young as he is to get published is amazing. Good for him. I just think this series is really, really undeserving of the exultant praise it's getting.
*SPOILERS AHEAD* This series is incredibly dear to me. I have learned so much from reading these books. I will say that the ending was a teeny bit disappointing and the duel with Galbatorix was almost an anti-climax, but it was still really good. The ending was sad, yes, but all the characters did what was needed. It was a very, very brave thing for Paolini to do. He gave the characters a realistic ending and not some giddy, faery-tale nonsense. If I had to choose one thing that I really admire about this series, it would be the fact that it's gritty and realistic. The reactions are human and the emotions are raw. I don't understand why everyone thought that the ending, (Eragon leaving) was unexpected. I saw it coming all along. I knew he wouldn't be able to stay in Alagaesia; there'd be too many painful memories floating around. And also, I don't get why people are angry about the fact that Eragon and Arya didn't end up together. They both sacrificed their own personal happiness (for the time being) so that their people would survive. It's not like Arya could just up and leave right after she had become queen, so I think their parting was necessary in every way. The questions of love and life; death and war; sacrifice and camaraderie, are all extremely valid points. These books are a task to read, considering their size. But they are most definitely worth it.
Amazing! The ending was a little sad, but the book as a whole is outstanding! Paolini is an amazing writer, and I love his work! I hope that he decides to continue his work because I'm sure it would be worth reading.
Wow! What a way to end the series!
Amazing, but the ending uugh.
Great book, terrible ending
