I don't know what to think about it, so I wanted to share it with you.

(I might end up deleting this post later)

One thing that Eragon didn't consider was that his presence would be a danger to the next person on the throne. If he could bolster a rebellion against Galby, then he could do the same against Nasuada. I wouldn't be surprised if Nasuada eventually used the Name of Names to bump off Eragon quietly.

Plus he seems to think that moving a couple of blocks away means he won't ever be tempted to interfere in Alaglag's affairs again now that he's "too powerful". Um, he's still in constant contact with Nausea, Arya and probably Roran as well. The moment he hears anything he doesn't like, what exactly is going to stop him coming straight back and fucking everyone over for a second time?

When I heard that he would leave Alagaesia and never return, I thought that meant that he would be going to the other continent. Not that he would just be going beyond the Eastern border. It seems a bit cheap to me.

More of Paolini's wussing out. To take it the whole way he should have had Ergy leave the entire continent, in a place where he can't be contacted for whatever reason, never to even hear from his friends again. But nope, just have him stay in shouting distance and thereby remove any real sense of tragedy there might have been.

It's like if someone left New York State but they moved one mile over the border to Canada. And Eragon can just go right back. There's nothing stopping him.
