My rating: 3 of 5
My thoughts on the book:
Overall, I enjoyed it! The first 200-250 pages were kinda boring, Eragon annoyed me & the only thing I liked were the parts with Roran, but after that it became better! Some of the stupid descriptions like the ones in the first book were still there, but not as much as in the first one! After the "change" Eragon became less annoying & in the 2nd half of the book there was more action! The "big" revelation(s) in the end didn't surprise me at all, I already guessed them in the first book, but I still liked the ending! I'd say that this one was a little better from the first book, but still nothing special! I'll read the last one soon!
