M’s Reviews > Murtagh: The World of Eragon > Status Update

Ok, I’m more curious to see how Paolini’s writing has matured since the last Eragon books than anything else. Not really expecting to love this one, at least. But I have to admit, he does have a way with metaphors:

“Thick flakes of snow drifted downward: the first snow of the year. He opened his mouth and caught a flake on his tongue; it melted like a pleasant memory, fleeting and insubstantial.”

Dang.
