  • Plot- or character-driven? Plot
  • Strong character development? Yes

3.5

I still can't stand Christopher Paolini's writing: so much telling, awkward dialogue, and an unnecessary amount of detail, and I thought this would be a one-star, but the last quarter of the book was so fast-paced and thrilling it had me hooked to the very end.
