    Galbatorix I think? I remember liking the books, then partway through brisingr he just had like ten pages of forging the sword and it’s literally just explaining how to make a katana and it made me realize he’s not that good at writing. Setting, and magic system? Great. The prose? Ouch.

      I tried reading one of his sci-fi novels recently. It was incredibly intriguing but led, literally nowhere. There was no resolution whatsoever.
