Just finished it last night.

overall a decent read I guess. Only two or three major plot twists (one of which is very good, tho) , with a very anti-climactic ending.

The next book has to be better. Paolini is getting alot of bad press on this one. He can't play the "15 year old author" card anymore.

I read it,
I liked it better than the first two.
The second one got REALLY REALLY boring when he was chilling with the elves.

I feel this is the weakest book of the series so far. I'm looking forward to the next, regardless.




**SPOILERS**
**SPOILERS**

How obvious was it that glaedr was going to die after he gave Eragon his heart of hearts?

i finished it last night. i liked it... i like details to give me a overall mental picture etc.

however the only thing i was dissapointed in was the like last 2 chapters of the book... it seemed like he rushed to finish them... and reading his prologue or his epilogue i forget which he talks about editing the book down from a lot more pages because some people in his publishing//editing or w/e offices bitched about it. wtf is that? let him write the damn book. ;/
