★★☆☆☆
So unlike the others, but in a bad way.
It felt like disconnected pieces of a story, the time skips and not answering questions it really opens up. I'm extremely disappointed in this book. I was really hoping to get more from this. After finishing it within an hour or so, it really wasn't worth the $11 with tax. It added basically nothing to the story line and at best serves as glorified fan-fiction sanctioned by the author. The author states in the end 'I finally managed to write a story in under 500 pages,' Well, you didn't. But two stars for effort. This isn't the quality we've come to expect from Paolini. It felt like such a rip off that I actually had to make sure I bought the right book... I hope you boot back up the series, but please... Give us a real book.
