  Something in the interim

  There are some sacral numbers that are used for thousands of years while creating the stories, myths, fairytales. They are: 3, 7, 12, 33, 100. Why did the young and talented author choose 4? Why is it tetralogy instead of triology? Was he inspired by Tolstoy? Or did he decide to act in his manner, so he won't copy Tolkien? Don't know. But the plot of the third book is... something in the interim. Have you ever watched TV series? It's the time of fillers. They are not very terrible and they move the plot ahead. But as I understand now, one book would be too few and 2 books are too many for the plot. So the third one was just for story not to be forgotten.
  What I liked:
  a) the quotation regarding saved Katrina : "If the woman deserved the feats like those Roran did for her – she is outstanding woman. Even if she is usual one".
  b) the remark concerning poor creature Thorn
  c) Choice of Eragon regarding Sloan
  d) Realisitic plot with Elva (although it's fairytale. Sorry, fantasy)
  e) Urgals and the stories about them – they happened to be so true and honest guys
  f) Eldunari – this idea of philosophy stone from "Fullmetal alchemist" – doesn't sound new but it's interesting
  g)The manufacture of Brisingr – it's quite interesting. And that ancient tree – what is that?
  What I did not like:
  a) This book is too slow
  b) Roran – he is unbeliveble, unbeatable, untouchable and so on. And so in love. It's not romantic. It makes me want to vomit.
  c) Nasuada – when did it happen that the little girl turned into the wisest woman in the whole Alagaesia? I didn't get it.
  d) Dwarves – they are so tedious, so tolkienistic and so stupid. No comments.
  e) Elves - they are so metrosexual, so tolkienistic and so pseudo-aristocratic. Oh.
  f) Name of the sword – thank you, it's not Hope. Thank you vey much, author, that you laughed at this stereotype.
  g) Death of Oromis. Due to genre, it had to be but the way of performance...mmm. oh.
  h) Arya Shadeslayer. Holy Eldunari, oh why? To plagiarize yourself? Paolini reached new level of plagiat. Master.
  i) "Eragon, I am your father!" It's not canonic but it makes Eragon... so good, cute and nice boy. Much more vomit.
  Galbatorix, Man, where are you? The third book has ended. Murtagh's demension can't be taken into account.
  To conclude – what choice do you have if you want to finish this cycle? Enjoy this book! Or at least try to do it.
