Brisingr Part 2

I have finished Brisingr by Christopher Paulini. I enjoyed reading it. It was a rather long book, containing 748 pages total, but it was a pretty good book. However, after reading it I kind of feel that nothing really major or has a lot significance happened until the last 100 pages or so. I think that it focused a little too much on Roran fighting, instead of what Eragon is doing to keep the story moving. I feel that Roran's battles could easily be shortened, which would allow the book to continue and get to significant events. I also feel a large part of the book is finishing up what has happened in the previous two novels. Such as Eragon and Roran killing the Raz'ac, or Eragon repaying his debts to people, and Eragon trying to correct his mistake of accidentally cursing a baby instead of blessing it (he misspoke a word in the magic language). I also believe that there are too many remaining mysteries, like what did the Menoa tree take from Eragon? And how is Eragon going to defeat the evil dictator? The dictator seems to have limitless power and Eragon can't even defeat one of the dictator's minions alone, so how is Eragon ever going to defeat the dictator? Another thing that was annoying was the stupidity of Eragon and even at sometimes Saphira. Eragon doesn't seem to think before he says things and seems to have severe difficulty having the slightest bit of control over his emotions. He continues to act irresponsibly and without thinking ahead. But what is even worse is that Saphira has started being stupid as well. She has become extremely vain and believes that she is really special and that she is the most beautiful creature in all of the land. She was also really stupid when she attacked the Menoa tree that then would have killed her and Eragon if Eragon hadn't managed to talk the tree out of killing them. However, overall the book was enjoyable to read. Because nothing to significant happened till the end, it made the book fun to read without having a need to read it and find out what happens.
