Breakneck plot progression without sacrificing depth, powerful writing with some beautiful observations thrown in but not so much as to overpower the narrative, fascinating characters.
So happy to have found and read this book.
I hope it gains a wider readership.

A leetle less than the previous two installments but still very good and please please let the finale be great.

I have no words to explain how good this book is.
A hidden gem.

My blurb for this book so far in the style of George R R Martin:
"Mythology retelling as it ought to be written" 😄
Slightly unrelated but in today's oversaturated market of retellings, this is such beautiful writing and storytelling by a female author from an era when she received no support or promotion. All hail Ballantine Books for printing this first. And all hail Christopher Paolini for reviewing it!

This is a compendium of connected myths so more like The Silmarillion than Lord of the Rings.
Very simple but elegant writing.
The story, the atmosphere - everything just feels right.
P.S. I found this from Christopher Paolini's Goodreads. Maybe I really should retry Eragon once. He also likes Gormenghast which is an all-time favourite of mine.
