    I see your point but to be fair it was his first book series. I think he startet writing them in his teens, i would say knowing what i kown now he didn’t planed it thru and also its like a mashup of other popular things like Lotr but reading them in my early teens i was really invested and loved them :) I also read ‘to sleep in a see of stars’ and there the plot was definitely more coherent but it also had some stretches. But i took my nostalgic glasses out of a box and read Murthag and at least with them it was really good

    I also read it in German but i found it a little bit flat. It was more like a ‘normal’ Fantasy book not like the other that are like really over the top and stuff. Maybe im also a little bit older then when i read but i enjoyed it less than every other book i read from walter moers

    I quite liked it. But i haven’t read anything from the eragon world since it came out and then i was pretty young. I liked it then but i dont know how it holds up. I liked that he is a powerful character but not the over powered caracter Eragon would have been at this point which gives it real stakes like it could all go wrong. The ending to be honest suprised me (dont wanna spoil) but either it is a litte out of the blue or there were details in the original series i overread/ have forgotten. All in all, i liked it but maybe there are nostalgic reasons playing into it :). Would like to hear your opinion when you decide to read it.
