  • Fun for readers of Eragon and the Cycle. Might confuse others.

    One star less than perfect as I was hoping the book would follow Eragon et al further into the future of new Dragon Riders. This is not the huge tomes of Christopher Paolini's early wonders but a pleasant volume of stories from Alagasia. And it is good to visit old friends. But not suggested for someone who has not read the Cycle as the characters might be confusing if you don't know their backstory. The "Worm" was the most compelling, although his sister Angela's contribution was fun.

  • Another work of art by Paolini

    The book is immersive as much as the series. It is, in fact, one of my favorite reads. Worth buying.

    Quick, fun read. Although it’s not as in depth as the Inheritance Trilogy, it’s a nice addition to the series and hopefully a harbinger of more to come!

    Readers 15 and younger. Tended to ramble. Gap between the first series and these stories is not well bridged.
