pas indispensable

3 stars

je sais pas je m'attendais a mieux. tout l'ouvrage et composer de 3 histoire qui sont racontée a eragon qui se trouve dans le lieux ou il élèvera la future génération de dragonnier. et bien que c'est histoire nous permette de retrouver d'ancien personnage elle ne sont pas très intéressent surtout que l'une d'elle et tout bonnement un extrait du livre "murtagh" ce qui ma frustrer dans ma lecture. la deuxiement histoire et la plus intéressante vus quelle parle d'angela personnage aussi énigmatique qu'extravagante. la 3e parle d'une histoire en quête de vengeance et de rédemption un peu longue avec des moment de lenteur mais avec un final intéressant.

The stories are connected by chapters about Eragon, who is told the stories in some way or another. The stories are enjoyable, but there is nothing special and I was hoping for something more of a twist. In summary, this book is a fun bit of nostalgia, but throws you right into the depth of the world and lacks a little depth of story.
