Inheritance

Perfect on time delivery by flipkart, even while the book webiste says that it is still to be released in the USA. The book is amazing. The Final installment to the Inheritance series, Christopher Paolini outdid himself, Again! Much awaited, much speculated, in the same rung as losrd of the rings and the wheel of time. Spectacular.

Inheritance (The Vault of Souls) has been an absolutely phenomenal read!! I finished it in less than a week and it was definitely the crowning glory of the series!

You can tell while reading that Paolini's style has changed and the writing itself is refined and more fluid a read. He has definitely rectified all his previous blunders.

A problem that I think many of us faced with Eldest was that it was slightly draggy and the series is, officially, draggy no more. Each chapter is action packed and super eventful!

As with Brisingr, where the switching of narration between Eragon and Roran was too frequent and often, Roran's parts seemed boring as well. Now, with each chapter that ends in a cliffhanger, you feel a twinge of disappointment as the narrative switches but, by the end of each chapter you're wishing it continued. So, for keeping all the narratives equally gripping and enthralling, kudos!

I don't want this review to contain any spoilers, so I'm not going to say much about what actually happens but, I will say that the plot is creative and positively engaging, if only to end a little predictably.

As for the characters, I've left Inheritance feeling much more connected to Eragon, Saphira, Roran, Katrina, Arya, Murtagh, Thorn, Glaedr, Orik, Elva and even Galbatorix. Finally, we learn more about our protagonists and their personalities, we see flaws in our heroes that make them seem human and we see why this oath-breaking tyrant was able to impose his rule on the empire for so long. It is very satisfying, even though Angela, the herbalist remains an ambiguous enigma.

All in all, it's been a really great read and a really great experience.
It moves you and leaves you emotional and with some pretty important life lessons to ponder upon.

And as the Shurtugal has grown... so has his author.

First i wd like to say what a commendable job the flipkart team is doing, i got the book in the afternoon of the day it was released and with a 30% discount.

Now about the book, waited three years for it and kept wondering what the role of the green dragon will be and how will eragon defeat voldermort err i mean gallabotorix but more than that i wanted to know about the witch angela, she was the most compelling and interesting character in the series for me. The book did not disappoint on the first expectation, we get a good storyline with enough things happening to keep the page turning, i think people will understand the meaning of my review's title if they have read the book, i cant explain it without spoilers so i dont want to spoil anyone's fun.

on the second expectation about angela i was a bit disappointed so i hope maybe the author will start another series with her as a protagonist. overall a good end, a book that doesn't just suddenly end but gives closure with respect to the characters like lord of the rings, which is the highest compliment i can give.

Good artists copy and great artists steal, there is very little originality in the series but its not forgettable.

The world of Alagaesia and Eragon's life comes a full circle with this final book! Remarkable delivery time by Flipkart and excellent packaging to prevent any damage to the book.Keep up the good work!

As for the book, a must read for all the cycle. 10/10.

Atra esterní ono thelduin. Mor'ranr lífa unin hjarta onr. Un du evarínya ono varda.

The trilogy remains among my all time favs. Seems like ages when i read Brisingr. Finally the last installment is here. No doubt its going to be as great as other books of the trilogy. Flipkart bettered all its record of previous service by delivering the book on the first day of the release. Thanx Flipkart!!
