I cried. I'll admit it. I cried SO HARD. This was an intricate, beautifully woven tale of dragons and ancient lands, and I loved every single letter of it. The author has such a gift with words that the first and hardest time I cried, it wasn't for the ending, or any of the deaths. No, it was when Eragon and the dragons finally cast the ultimate spell which defeated him. It touched me as of one of the most ingenious and touching ways to triumph over Galbatorix. I also liked how it wasn't just sunshine and rainbows after they vanquished him. They had to decide on who was the ruler after Galbatorix died, and there wasn't complete harmony between the races. One of the very few things I was disappointed with included Thorn and Murtagh. The reasons they gave for leaving weren't very good, and I though him and Eragon were close enough that they would try to contact them before leaving forever. Plus, why would Saphira choose Firnen? I mean, he wasn't very old, and I would have thought that Thorn was more likely to be picked. And that leaves us to the subject of... WHY DIDN'T ARYA AND ERAGON END UP TOGETHER? CURSE THE LACK OF SPACE IN ALAGAESIA! That comment would make more sense if you read the book. But what happened to the "epic romance" Angela foretold would happen? Like, Arya FINALLY decides to return his feelings and Eragon FINALLY decides to not act like a lovesick fool. THEN when they FINALLY decide to (maybe) be together, Arya has to stay and Eragon has to go far, far away because OF THE LACK OF SPACE AND DISTANCE. That made me want to !!!!!!!! And what happens to Nasuada and Murtagh? I thought they CARED about each other? Basically, I am very disappointed in the relationship or lack thereof between a LOTof people. But at least Roran and Katrina get their happy ending. But that crazy woman, Bridget? I'm not sure WHAT her name is, but she is crazy. Just because thanks to Roran's decision to do whatever, her husband dies and she wants revenge DURING THE HAPPY ENDING WHEN never mind. Spoilers ensue if I continue. But the cliffhanger! I just want a happy ending for the MAIN CHARACTERS. But overall, I would not have missed it for the WORLD.
