Yeah, 'Inheritance' is really pretty next level. I think I enjoy it partly because it's the last book and everything has a sense of finality and epicness to it, but Inheritance really is unlike any of the prior three books. If anything as I write this I feel as though 'Eragon' is the most similar book I can think of in the series. Eragon and Saphira are discovering so many new things and new lands even, very similar to the first book. Brom was sort of the first mentor Eragon had in this new world of magic, it seems Glaedr is taking on this role as the pair take on this newest and most important journey. It's so interesting.
Yeah man, The Inheritance Cycle is simply amazing I really am grateful that such a tremendous book exists and that I got to read it. Special stuff.
Arriving in and exploring Doru Araeba/Vroenguard was such an eerie, mysterious and even creepy experience. It's intriguing that once a sacred place has become so riddled with creepy energy. I was also fascinated to learn of the massive old dragons as well as noticing that there's actual PEOPLE on the island, crazy! Wild to see Saphira's family bones on the island! Also, that wild dragons don't speak language and just communicate via images and feelings is fascinating. Thinking of an old dragon just sleeping in the cold mountains is fascinating as well.
Finally, Nasuada's torture is wicked nuts. Murtagh slowly finding ways to help is cool. It's odd that Glabatorix uses her attraction to Murtagh in the hallucinations he's inducing. Interesting that Galbatorix is very aware of their connection. The fact that Galbatorix can manipulate such events and even mess with Nasuada's perception of time is quite trippy and potentially very problematic and sneaky....
I'm very curious how Nasuada even manages to escape, I don't remember how that happens.
In general I haven't remembered much of these events at all!
This is getting really really good now!!! The end is coming!! Idk how I feel about it but I'm mostly happy.
