I hated this which makes me very sad. I am a huge fan of this series and was so excited for this. it ended up being too short. it felt half finished with no real meaning behind it. Stunted and an obvious cash grab. Its like the editors just assembled a bunch of random pieces of story from the series that didnt fit anywhere else. they placed them in a non sequential order and packaged it and we paid. it really sucked.

SPOILER WARNING: Expected a little more from the author of Eragon. nothing much really happens at all, the short storys are interesting but, the book makes no progress and is only a few hundred pages, it gives more mystery to Angela character than answers which really does annoy me, because I know it will be another 5 years before he writes an actual book. nothing at all happens with eragon and no more dragons are the story kind of a waste of a potentially good book. it took this many years and this is all we got? ends on a stupid note and is overall disappointing, none of the dragon eggs are hatched, eragon will never return to alagasia which just destroyes the future storys for me and is overall a bad ending and plot trap. left more questions rhan answers. not sure what he was attempting to accomplish with releasing a book like this, but alas, of course i will buy the future books and pray they are as good as the originals.

I have read and loved the books in the inheritance cycle and was hoping for something similar when I found this was released a few days ago. This novel contained three of the four things I loved about the series. It had a well described and interesting fight scene in The Fork, it had much of the mystery and lore of the original books in The Witch, and it had a really well written story contained in The Worm. The only thing that was missing from this was length. It came so close to hitting me with nostalgia, but The Witch was mostly just a teaser for the book about Angela and wasn't long enough to have any real reason to read other than the information it provides about the rest of the series. With The Fork and The Worm though I was much happier. The Fork was great and though it was short it was quite entertaining and would be a great way to get people interested in the series. The Worm was good too, it was a great story and quite entertaining. Overall the book(s) was great, although I don't recommend it for anyone who isn't familiar with the series.
