My 12 and 13 year old daughters loves all of Christopher Paolini's books. Would it be okay for them to read this one, or is it too adult?

Letting a child read what she wants is in a different category from recommending to that child a book to read. As a grandmother, I know my teenage grandchildren read a wide variety, and they read what they want to read. But I am not going to recommend or give them a book that I feel is inappropriate. In my opinion you're being a bit pedantic and judgemental.(less)

I just found out there is a pet pig in the story. Does something bad happen to it (dies, lost in space, etc.)? If so I won't be able to read this.

In any book, if you need an explanation then it's not worked. Like having a joke explained.(less)

Is it worth reading if I couldn't finish Eragon?

I don't think the female protagonist is a trope and as far as I'm concerned she earned the title of strong female lead. It's definitely a long book that doesn't shy away from getting into some details, but generally manages to keep a pretty good pace and remain reasonably easy to parse. Far better than some other sci-fi books I've read. (less)
