That's the worst name for orcs (which is basically what they are) ever, it sounds like the noise a baby would make. It also rips off the Nazgul from LotR and as for Paolini's 'language'... Tolkien was a professor of linguistics, so his languages have structure and etymology and feel real; Paolini's sounds like he's just writing down random letters and punctuation and calling it a language. Which was probably what he was doing to be honest.

I've heard some good things about it, but an ex-girlfriend of mine had the same experience as you, only she didn't finish it, and my dad didn't care for it either. I was thinking about trying it, but I've been reluctant.Chris Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16995942558585642314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5690593013418971003.post-68455687909544222622012-07-05T12:42:42.649+01:002012-07-05T12:42:42.649+01:00I'd heard a lot of good things as well before ...I'd heard a lot of good things as well before I read it - I was really surprised I ended up not liking it!
