Now the fate of an entire civilization rests on their shoulders. Long months of training and battle have brought victories and hope, but they have also brought heartbreaking loss. And still, the real battle lies ahead: they must defeat Galbatorix. There will be no second chances. The Rider and his dragon have come further than anyone dared to hope. But can they topple the evil king and restore justice to Alagaësia? And if so, at what cost?

I think the world building was much better than I expected. Characters had a lot more depth than I thought. Yeah, the ending was kind of hokey in some places, you know, but again, in the end is traditional fantasy and I don't think he steered too far away from those tropes that I do love within traditional fantasy.
