Review of 'Inheritance' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
Spoilers. Loooove this story, its been a wonderful journey and Ive enjoyed all the books so much.
However, the ending is just bad. Theres way too many things not making proper sense, like Eragon just sitting down there healing small wounds after Galbatorix blew himself up, while Arya is up there in danger trying to save the last egg and the eldunari, with a tower falling down on her. Why the hell didnt he fly up there to aid her as soon as he had landed with the children, and to look properly for Blödgharn and the other elves?!?!? Its what he would have done, and did, all the previous times. It just didnt make any sense at all and just irritates the reader. And why would Nasuada suddenly bind all who has magic, its the same as Galbatorix did. Eragon should have made sure she never did that, it would only have been right from his standpoints, and he had the power to make sure of it. Yet he just grovels and complies like shes a god and says no and flies off?!? That, and the very end as well, seperating them like that, and not even having Murtagh join them so they wouldnt be so alone, or rebuilding Vroengard instead of this nonsense with them flying to the other end of the world, made the difference between 3 and 5 stars for me. Utterly disapointing and poor end to a fantastic story! But great overall and Im sad its over.
