Hello everyone, and welcome to the next chapter of the Murtagh spork! Today we have “Obliteration”, in which Murtagh… doesn’t quite get obliterated.
Fumurti: A good day, everyone, and welcome back to Eragon! Last time, Eragon, Brom, and Jeod managed to get into the castle and copy the records concerning Seithr oil, due to very lax security. For the reader post:

Kerlois: A good day, everyone, and welcome back to Eragon! Last time, Solembum gave Eragon some vague advice, Eragon discussed that with Saphira, and Brom decided to teach Eragon how to read.

Kerlois: A good day, everyone, and welcome back to Eragon! Last time, we saw the book Domia abr Wyrda, and Eragon and Brom talked a bit about scrying and what Galbatorix would supposedly do. For the reader post:
( This book has a serious abuse problem. )
( How can you expect to give Eragon good advice when you barely understand the situation, Brom? )
A good day, everyone, and welcome back to the Murtagh group spork with “Confrontation with a Cat”! We’ve last left off with Murtagh going back to Carabel after Silna escaped him.

HISC: A good day, everyone, and welcome back to Eragon! Last time, I made an overview of several chapters of the self-published edition. For the reader post:
( Some introductions, nothing more, unfortunately. )
Chapters Twenty-Eight and Twenty-Nine | Table of Contents | Grim Tuesday
Kerlois: A good day, everyone, and welcome to Mister Monday, for the very last time! Last time, Arthur got home, finally cured the Sleepy Plague and the book ended with a sequel hook. Now it is time for the final thoughts.
Overall
Corneille Blanche: All in all… it is not a bad book, but not a great one, either. It reads smoothly enough and it certainly is compelling, but the plot problems keep it from being what it could be. Sure, they are not so conspicuous on a casual read, but if I am to like a book, it should stand up to deeper examination. So I would say this book passes, though it does not rank very highly.
And that is that! Off we go. (picks up Kerlois and leaves along with Vermaanti)
Scales: Well, that was Mister Monday, then! I’ve finally managed to finish a review! I hope whoever read this had fun reading along with me, and maybe you’ll go on to the book that takes its place: Lord Foul’s Bane. See you there!
Chapters Twenty-Six and Twenty-Seven | Table of Contents | Final Thoughts/Verdict
Corneille Blanche: A good day, everyone, and welcome back to Mister Monday! Last time, we had some wrap-up as the Will agreed to let Arthur go home and took the Key, he made some appointments, and he received a cure for the plague.
Chapter Twenty-Four | Chapter Twenty-Five (Part I)
Corneille Noire: A good day, everyone, and welcome back to Eragon! Last time, Eragon, Brom and Saphira reached Teirm, Saphira was abusive to Eragon again, and Eragon and Brom found some information in a seedy tavern.
( This is quite a mess, but better next time, I suppose. )
Chapter Twenty-Five | Table of Contents | Chapters Twenty-Eight and Twenty-Nine
Kerlois: A good day, everyone, and welcome back to Mister Monday! Last time, we had the climax, as Arthur fought and defeated Monday and was about to claim the Key. Let us see what happens now.
