It's hard to say why I gave this 4 stars. It's a thorough story. Eragon starts as a callow youth and ends up as a man. He's grown in maturity and power. He's mastered his fears.
In a way, it wasn't much of a surprise that they beat Galbatorix. It would have been more so, if they had lost to him. However, I liked the idea of no one person beating him. That together they did, was a better way to end the story.

Cabe-me desde já dizer que a edição é das PIORES coisinhas que já li. Erros de tradução, erros ortográficos, erros nos itálicos que indicam diálogos e monólogos mentais, etc... Sinceramente, no mercado de livros actual e dado tratar-se de uma editora tida como grande, não esperava ver uma obra tão maltratada, com um trabalho editorial e de revisão tão pobre. Há frases que perdem todo o sentido e só relendo e adivinhando a correcção se entende que está ali um erro que se julgaria impossível.

Overall I loved this series and found it a very enjoyable read. The characters were interesting and they found creative ways to overcome seemingly impossible situations. Not to mention, the world building and mythology were great.
