Alagaësia, 1st high fantasy book of mine + interesting magic system

Ah did you like Murtagh? I wish it was a bit longer.

I did finish it in English some days ago and will read it in my language again once it's translated. I really liked it, but it feels either like the beginning to a whole new saga or likea long side quest.

I agree. It feels like it’s setting up a lot of future works, especially with the way magic worked for the main antagonist.

! Bechel and Azlagur feel like a beginning of laying the explanations for Guntera. !<

The book also made clear how much elvish literature Eragon read in Ellesmera and how important it was that Oromis, Glaedr and Arya talked to Eragon in the Ancient Language. Galbatorix was not a good teacher to Murtagh, but Murtagh was a good student.

I did not quite understand what 'Concentrate air and light' was supposed to be. Is it something nuclear?

I don’t recall that quote off the top of my head. What chapter is it in?

[-] 768@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago

It's in the language addendum, Vindr something.
