yes it has been 7 years.

no i do not remember 99% of anything that happened in these books.

does it haunt me that 16 year old me never finished this, yes. (to be fair i had major back surgery that summer so, understandable)

i watched the movie today (to settle an argument over which adaptation was worse, this or Avatar Last Airbender - the correct answer is the latter) and suddenly i remembered this thing exists.

so in the sake of emotional closure, if only for myself, here's what i can remember of my 16 year old self's totally original plot:

-Ivy finds out her name is actually I.V. which is intials for Isilana Vairnen.

-somehow figures out that her dad is actually Galbatorix

-highkey she wants to kill him, but also just really wants to know why he gave her up

-decides to use Murtagh as a means of getting close to him

-pretends to betray eragon and join the ol bad guys

-murtagh lets her stay close to him because hes using her for info on eragon

-end up totes inadvertently falling in love even though both of them try to deny it

-idk like stabs her dad or something and steals his dragon

thats it thats all i remember.

thank u, happy 2020
