Title: Doesn't flow
Review: Eragon's got too many "tacked on" parts. For example, when Angela's explaining shades, she says "it's the most unholy magic...EXCEPT NECROMANCY" Where did the mention of necromancy come from? It is completely off topic. It's as if Paolini mentioned it simply for the sake of mentioning it.Another problem is the slave trade. Paolini tries to make it seem cruel, but the slave trade has no real part in the story. It exists for no reason other than making the Empire more dislikable.Too much of this book feels perfunctory, as if Paolini added it in simply because he thought he was supposed to.
