Ok, seriously is the last 60 pages worth reading?

I heard that people don't like the ending so I read it with curiousity just to understand their opinion and I was surprised because I loved it. Yes, it's full of cliffhangers. Yes, there are many questions left. But the story of Eragon ended, from the moment he left Alagaesia, a new story began. I can say that I'm fully satisfied with the closing. Altough I would love to read more of Nausada, Orik, Elva, the urgals in their new role, Roran's daughter, Murtagh's future or Angela's past, I feel like these characters - and many others - surely deserve their own book. I can only hope that Paolini is going to write them (especially about Murtagh and Angela), even if these stories will be only short novels in an other book, or even if I have to wait a decade to meet these characters again.(less)

Is it worth reading at all? I've been reading 'Brisingr' for ages and it's super boring.

Roni Of course it's worth reading. I mean, IF you've read the first two books then yes. But if you just started reading Brisingr without reading the first …moreOf course it's worth reading. I mean, IF you've read the first two books then yes. But if you just started reading Brisingr without reading the first 2 books then no, read the first two and then the next two. It'll make more sense when you actually know whats going on. IF you've already read the first two then you should continue reading book 3 and 4. It'll spice up a bit if you read further. (less)

Who is the woman who helped Roran once in the last battle (helped him to escape from five soldiers ?) with two young children with her? she wasn't mentioned after that was she ?

Emma I think she was mentioned in either the second or third book (I can't remember which). Their backstory is never explained, though its implied that the…moreI think she was mentioned in either the second or third book (I can't remember which). Their backstory is never explained, though its implied that they were at some point prisoners of the empire. Angela was reading their futures and asked Eragon to bless them. He was reluctant to do so after what happened with Elva, but this time he was successful.(less)

Because I was stupid and didn't look at how many books the series had, I skipped Brisingr and read only Eragon, Eldest and Inheritance, should I read Brisingr?

Rich Lambe It sounds like you did pretty well to finish the series without Brisingr... I recommend reading it - I found it to be the best in the series
