About this listen
Penguin presents the audiobook edition of The Fork, the Witch and the Worm by Christopher Paolini.
A wanderer and a cursed child.
Spells and magic.
And dragons, of course.
Welcome back to the world of Alagaësia.
It's been a year since Eragon departed Alagaësia in search of the perfect home to train a new generation of Dragon Riders. Now he is struggling with an endless sea of tasks: constructing a vast dragonhold, wrangling with suppliers, guarding dragon eggs and dealing with belligerent Urgals and haughty elves. Then a vision from the Eldunarí, unexpected visitors and an exciting Urgal legend offer a much-needed distraction and a new perspective.
This volume features three original stories set in Alagaësia, interspersed with scenes from Eragon's own unfolding adventure. Included is an excerpt from the memoir of the unforgettable witch and fortune-teller Angela the herbalist, penned by Angela Paolini, the inspiration for the character, herself!
Relish the incomparable imagination of Christopher Paolini in this thrilling new collection of stories based in the world of the Inheritance Cycle.

Loved going back to this series
This book was great I was devastated at the ending to the inheritance books and it took me years to finally read inheritance but this was a fun read and I got to know more about what some of my favourite characters are doing years after the events of the original series. Ive loved Gerard Doyle narrating these books

An epilogue and a prologue
This book seems to act as a bridge between the inheritance cycle and what is to come. The story (well the three of them) are a bit to short to enjoyed as his other books are though they do leave you interested for what is to come with some suggestive hints here and there.

Overall what I expected
I typically have low expectation for books following a very successful series as they are often are fillers for unanswered questions and really just expanding our knowledge of what we already know from the previous 4 books. This was definitely worth the listen. Loved to hear how all the old characters where doing and I enjoyed learning about the Urgal race through their own story.
The only thing that stopped me from a 5/5 overall was due to some minor performance issues. None of them really worth mentioning but all of them together and one thing I couldn't get over resulted in a lowered star. I found it really distracting the way Murtagh's name was pronounced. Would have like to see some consistency in that area especially with him being one of the major characters in the series.

Short but sweet
While I dream of one day dipping into another 500+ word novel in the Eragon realm, this satiated a my thirst for now. Well written and well spoken.

the fork,the witch, and the worm
nice little way to end the series. Hopefully, there's a continuum to eragons' life hundreds of years later when everything is set up and him and aria go on a quest or something like that

Captivating and Continued Brilliance
What an absolute delight to read. Many of my favourite characters, some excellent new ones. The return of Eragon and Alagaësia is something we as readers have been waiting 10years for and it didn’t disappoint! Bring on the next volume!

Enjoyable
I wasn't particularly invested in the storyline compared to the inheritance cycle books but it was still enjoyable. I would have liked to hear more about Eragon amd the other key characters from the inheritance series.

Short stories but worth it.
This book is basically short stories on a few of the characters from Inheritance Cycle and a new one.
Hopefully this is the start to follow on books.
