Apoorva

It felt so good to experience Eragon again!
All my dragon obsessions had started because of this series teehe
Thoroughly enjoyed it

Solid 4.5! This is going to be more of a gush than a review (nothing unusual there).

Firstly, my boy Myron is back!!! He is literally my favourite character in the entire series and I was so glad to have him back! Myron, you have my heart! What a freaking darling you are! So precious! :') Okay, now that I've gotten that out of the way...

This was such an amazing conclusion to the trilogy!! The first two books were entertaining and I liked them but they come nowhere close to how much I enjoyed this last one.
The writing is significantly better, the world building was amazing and the lore was much better developed.
I was so invested in the story that I cried for characters I didn't even know I cared about!! The plot twists were so well executed! Arggg! I DID NOT see them coming!!
I feel like the pacing, the banter, the suspense, the friendships and relationships portrayed were all ON POINT!

I really liked the romance elements. One couple had me rolling my eyes and giggling and the other had me bawling! I really enjoyed myself! (Hehe)

Also, the fight sequences chef's kiss!

It was so satisfying when things came together in the end! Tssk! I loved it!!
I'm so glad I pushed through and finished this trilogy!

Oh and I listened to this on audio and Tim Gerard Reynolds is such a phenomenal narrator and adds so so much to the story.

I had a great time with this series.

I can't decide if I should give this a 3 or a 4 star rating so let's just say it's 3.5.

Things I liked:
1. The characters! Although there's not much of character development, the friendship between Royce and Hadrian is precious.
I LOVED Myron! His character was so adorable and funny!
2. The political intrigue was pretty good.

Things I think could have been better:
1. The stakes were not high enough and there was not as much action as I typically like in adult fantasy.
2. The plot felt slightly predictable and somehow wasn't as gripping as it could have been.

I feel like I went in expecting too much. But I must say, this would definitely make for a great book for people just getting into adult fantasy. The writing is super accessible, the world is simple, the magic system is soft and easy enough to follow. It's a fun story. I know for a fact that the series gets better and I really really hope I love it as much as others have!
