Murtagh

If you’re wondering whether you should re-read the Eragon series before giving Murtagh a go, I’d say maybe.The author does a good job of keeping you up to date gradually via a drip feed of information, but in general, the world and its lore are quite vast, so I’d proceed with caution.Overall, as far as a re-introduction to the series, Murtagh was pretty entertaining, although it did falter at a few points.The story stumbled around halfway due to the repetitive nature of Murtagh's situation. The book probably could have either been condensed or split in two with some slight changes to the story to make it work a little better.I will say that I understand the decision to not include some key characters to give Murtagh himself some time to shine, but a little closer on that front would have been helpful. If only to solidify the idea that there won't be another book. Because right now, I’m unsure.For more reviews and book recommendations, check out my YouTube channel:  https://www.youtube.com/ginaluciayt
