Wow! I always liked Murtagh in the Inheritance Cycle. I was excited to see his story continue.

Goodness what a tale it is... epic, painful, dark. I enjoyed learning more of Murtagh and Thorn's history though it was often heartbreaking. The aches that they traverse in this book leads to monumental changes and true healing for them both. That was tear making but lovely to read. I am so happy to have experienced this furthering of Paolini's world.

I have listened to all of these stories. Gerard Doyle breathes life into the world; without him the characters would not be as wonderful as he has helped them to be.

I highly recommend this book and all of the Inheritance Cycle to any who enjoy epics and fantasies. They are absolutely wonderful both for adults and teens.

I look forward to the next installment of Paolini's magical dragon filled world.
