The Fork, the Witch, and the Worm by Christopher Paolini

I borrowed this book from one of my colleagues at work, Rachel, with whom I share a love for books by Christopher Paolini. I started The Fork, the Witch, and the Worm on January 4 and finished it on January 16, 2019.

I loved this book!

I love the Eragon series!

This book is not that, but includes some of the same characters in short stories. What this is not - a continuation of the Eragon books as you know them. It doesn't wrap anything up, tell us in linear terms what happens next, or offer any sort of closure of the things unresolved from the Eragon books.

What this is - a collection of short stories, unrelated, that include some of the characters we already know and some new ones we are just meeting.

I thought the stories were quite entertaining. The characters are well developed. The stories are entertaining. You'll read stories about Murtaugh, Angela, and the Urgals, and have bits of Eragon in each.

If you are expecting another Eragon-like book - this is not that. If you like the way and style Paolini writes and his characters, you'll probably like this. Don't go into this with too many expectations - keep an open mind, and I bet you'll like it.
