Jesus, this is awful.
It isn't just the boring story, uninteresting characters or preposterous lameness. It is the low quality of the writing. I feel like I am reading some sixteen year olds fan fiction; it grates on my every nerve.
This makes Eragon look like a work of genius.
I genuinely came in to this trying to like the book. I've been reading a lot of YA vampire trash and figured I could at least sit through Twilight, but this woman simply can not write. I'm pretty sure I have middle school writing assignments with superior prose.
Also, knowing what happens and how awful it is makes every piece of exposition turn my stomach. I almost vomited on page one when she told us how this town is perpetually overcast.

If I have burnt my bridges I will walk on water.
If you're on the shore, then you're sure not me, oh
My seething wrath and urge for blood is fueled by searing hate.
I'm X X X bitch, triple X rated.
