(4) YA With Angela Paolini. Three vignettes in a loose framing device offer new tales of Alagaësia: Eragon's brother Murtagh helps a girl resist bullies; herbalist Angela begins training Elva, once inadvertently cursed by Eragon; and an Urgal maiden fights a dragon and loses. The stories don't fully coalesce, but the author's thorough command of the diction and details of his creation is a welcome return.
