This book was a bit of an enigma for me. Intellectually I know a lot happened, but it didn’t necessarily feel like a lot was happening. That being said, I still really enjoyed it and finished in really just two sessions. A lot of plot is still being setup and I desperately wish the author had a faster release cycle, but still a very interesting and unique take on things. Looking forward to more.

I’m not sure I’ve ever read a character piece of such depth and make no mistake, this is a character piece through and through. While there is certainly some action and developing plot lines, the main focus is on who Fitz is and how he fits into this world. If the whole trilogy is like this first one, I’m very excited for the ride.

This series finished off just as strong as it started. I think the payoff was ultimately worth it though I would understand if people struggled to read all 2000ish pages of the trilogy to get there. There’s also a couple pacing issues that left some really interesting storylines getting less page time than some others, but overall a really great book and a very compelling series.

While not overly amazing or an example of excellent prose, Murtagh does a great job of recapturing the sense of adventure and hitting on the nostalgia aspects of the original series. Fans of the Eragon books will definitely find lots to enjoy throughout. Whoever thinks this could be read standalone without having read the original series is crazy though. Overall a fun, easy read that’s a good time throughout.

There's just really nothing not to like about this book. It's got some problems and I'm certainly not qualified to know if the science actually makes sense, but it's presented in such an easily digestible way that makes it all so fun. This time I listened to the audiobook which was really good, but I'm not sure I fully buy into the "it's better than reading it" narrative. Overall, just as fun as I remembered!

It took me a lot longer to get into this book compared to the first one, but overall this book goes hard. While portions of it are a little predictable/tropey, those same plot points are just as often turned on their heads. Genuinely no idea how the trilogy is going to end, but the whole thing is so far very much worth the read.
