The book Inheritance wraps up the Inheritance series by Christopher Paolini. (Beware, there may be spoilers) Personally, it was an ending that I totally expected, but liked nonetheless. The book (like the other three) was written well, and the characters Paolini created had much more added to their personalities throughout the course of the story. A fair amount of the last book has to do about politics and war, and that got a bit tiring after a while. Some events during the story were surprising and good additions to the story to move it along, but the ending was completely and totally predictable.
Don't get me wrong, I loved the book, and the book is amazing, but it had it's quirks. I also am enraged that Eragon and Arya never got together. It set it up throughout the whole seris that they would become a couple, but alas, by the end of the book, not even one kiss had passed between them. For that I am angry, because Eragon will never see her again. They were meant to be together and they never will be. Though the ending was, indeed, predictable, that is not to say that it was not a really good ending for the story. Other than the complete lack of a love life, I think what Eragon chose to do was wise.
Christopher Paolini is a terrific writer, and his books were particularly fun to read. They presented a fantasy world that is hard to come by these days. One well thought out, and one well written. With him it is not one or the other (like some books I have read and will not mention) but rather both combined in the best ways possible. I definatly reccomend this entire series to any reader.
