Final Thoughts on Inheritance

A lot of consequences in life aren’t the outcome of a single decision, most. They’re often the accumulation of little choices that stack up before we realize. But there are solitary moments that change everything. Stephen King wrote about how … Continue reading

Inheritance Chapter 78

This chapter is called “leave-taking”. I suppose that elves get rather mean when you take leaves from their woods. They’ll probably put Eragon to death for it but at least the book will end on a high note. ‘For your … Continue reading

Inheritance Chapter 77

This chapter is called “promises, new and old”. Eragon is flying around and he’s talking to the elves about transporting the eggs and eldunari. All of which continues to bore. I believe if Chris were an artist, he would be … Continue reading

Inheritance Chapter 76

This chapter is called “blood price”. Which I’m curious to see how much blood goes for in Alagaёsia. That’ll give us a sort of economic marker to gauge the cost of living for those not fortunate enough to have dragons. … Continue reading

Inheritance Chapter 75

This chapter is called “a man of conscience”. Which is probably the best joke in the entire series. Seriously, Chris, you should have taken a tip from Seinfeld and used that as your last chapter so you could close on … Continue reading

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
