Inheritance Chapter 72
This chapter is called “a fitting epitaph”. I have to assume Chris is being ironic when he says fitting. Unless every one of the Varden gets blasted into a fine powder which happens to spell out an apology to the … Continue reading

Inheritance Chapter 71
This chapter is called “heir to the empire”. Which gives me a distinctly creepy vibe. It summons visions of the Nasuada simply stepping into Gabby’s role as ruler of the land and making no concessions. I mean, the whole point … Continue reading

Inheritance Chapter 70
This chapter is called “a sea of nettles”. Too bad it won’t be a literal sea which Eragon will drown in. Darkness, and in that darkness, silence. Oh, if only the book would stay that way. Eragon is sliding around, … Continue reading
Inheritance Chapter 69
Well this is just great. Ten chapters to go and the head boss is already dead. And Eragon only met with him for two chapters. The fights between Eragon and Murtagh were handled with literary dignity on par with the … Continue reading

Inheritance Chapter 67

Inheritance Chapter 66
Inspiried by the chapter title, I would like to mention the idea of a few hidden words acting as a keystone to all things—like reality or magic—is not a new one. Where Paolini got the idea, I won’t speculate but … Continue reading

Inheritance Chapter 64
This chapter is called “that which does not kill”. Finally been reading something other than your own dreck, eh Chris? And you know, that which does not kill can still maim. So I’m saying that Eragon could lose a few … Continue reading

Inheritance Chapter 63
Let’s talk about the role of authors and audience. The reason I’m so harsh to Chris, and other authors, is because they are the ones who expect to get paid for their craft. We, the audience, have a simple arrangement … Continue reading
