3.75/5. I was a little disappointed when I first starting reading this, because I was SO hype for returning to Eragon and Alagaesia. The first short story, the Fork, was very boring, and I can't even tell you what happened. I was like, what's the point of this? However, the short story of the Worm brought me back to the good ole days! The description, the action, the character heart, it was everything I was hoping for! I was really sad that the other two shorts weren't to my liking because I thoroughly enjoyed the Worm. If it were just that short story, I'd be rating this a 5/5.
