A really fun anthology from Paolini and his sister. I liked getting to see a snippet of what Eragon was up to as well as a legend from the Urgals, a race often scorned by others in previous books, so we didn't get to learn much about them.

Now that Murtagh is out, The Fork is less necessary to read as it's almost directly lifted from this anthology to the main book. However, the end of The Fork does go back to Eragon's POV, so don't skip it entirely.
