I would still dearly like to know how the hell Galby wiped out the wild dragons all on his tod. Did he have squads of Ra'zac working for him? What? It's NEVER explained what the hell happened to them beyond a vague throaway line about how they 'resisted fiercely' but couldn't win. Actually, you know what I'm reminded of right now? Whitewashed history books which pretend that when white people arrived on the scene, the natives just conveniently stopped existing.
...amid children with sharp, flat teeth
You motherfuckin' WOT? That's just... such a bizarre description.
Also, is it just me or does Paolini seem to have inordinate levels of contempt for the aristocracy? I hate to break it to you, pal - you might be a proud American but you're still a millionaire celebrity, which makes you a member of the new American aristocracy. If I were you I'd lose the high-handed attitude toward the rich and pampered.
...Why is Lady Lorana wearing a crown? I feel like I'm watching someone play Skyrim.
"Your philosophy does not constrain me, elf!"
Galby - dude. I love you, man, but right now you're spouting complete gibberish.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed that Oromis acts like a whiny little brat in this scene. Isn't this guy supposed to be like 10,000 years old and eternally wise and enlightened and shit? Because he's acting like a kid having a screaming tantrum because mummy wouldn't buy him sweets.
Oh, what am I talking about? Everybody in this series eventually turns into a whiny little childish brat, including Galby. It's like Paolini doesn't know any other way to portray anger or fear.
I love how the entire climax/boss fight for Eragon is literally just a filler scene. It's a book of filler in which everything the protag does is filler... and it climaxes with more filler.
