    The listing was for a hardcover version of this book; however, I received a paperback. The Seller replied quickly to my question about this issue and issued a full refund - and let me keep the book. So, a diligent Seller for sure - and well packaged and reasonable timing on shipping. Thank you for the refund, and as you suggested, I'll likely donate this volume and seek the hardcover.

    Great transaction, exactly as described, packed well, and promptly shipped on August 6th. Unfortunately the U.S. Postal Service took 23 calendar days to deliver the book. It was shipped from Pennsylvania, to Atlanta, past Alabama to Texas, enjoyed several days in Texas, then to Minneapolis, Jacksonville, Florida, back to Atlanta, finally to Birmingham, and Huntsville. The seller was very responsive and I decided it was interesting to see if/how the book would arrive. Thanks, Joe

    Excellent purchase. Was able to get all three items from the one seller. Seller was able to bundle all three items together into one package. Items as described and arrived in perfect condition. Good communication around shipping and tracking as items delayed and not able to be delivered by original estimate. Thanks to shipping updates I was able to track the items arriving before the extended delivery time. Thank you for making these items available on EBay.

    Fun for readers of Eragon and the Cycle. Might confuse others.

    One star less than perfect as I was hoping the book would follow Eragon et al further into the future of new Dragon Riders. This is not the huge tomes of Christopher Paolini's early wonders but a pleasant volume of stories from Alagasia. And it is good to visit old friends. But not suggested for someone who has not read the Cycle as the characters might be confusing if you don't know their backstory. The "Worm" was the most compelling, although his sister Angela's contribution was fun.

    Excellent book. Interesting detail. Great short stories of the main characters in the continuation of this compelling saga.

  • Another work of art by Paolini

    The book is immersive as much as the series. It is, in fact, one of my favorite reads. Worth buying.
