It's been a year since Eragon departed Alagaësia in search of the perfect home to train a new generation of Dragon Riders. Now he is struggling with an endless sea of tasks: constructing a vast dragonhold, wrangling with suppliers, guarding dragon eggs, and dealing with belligerent Urgals and haughty elves. Then a vision from the Eldunarí, unexpected visitors, and an exciting Urgal legend offer a much-needed distraction and a new perspective.
They reach out to Eragon to whom Angela gives her memoirs with the clause that they may or may not be true which we, the reader, then get to read to learn Angela s backstory. She almost dies but then she uses the magic that a shaman taught her to make the dragon join their side to protect the urgals against attacks from other animals and enemies.

Book Review: The Fork, the Witch & the Worm
The Fork, the Witch & the Worm by Christopher Paolini is a collection of three short stories in the world of Alagaesia, the world of his famous Eragon series.
The Eragon series are some of my favourite childhood books, and the nostalgia of getting to experience the wonderful adventures in that world again was a pleasure.
However, each of the three stories is rather disconnected from the others – one tells of the lonely life of Murtagh, another of Angela and the cursed child Eva, and the third of the dragon of Kulkaras.
Murtagh is Eragon’s half-brother. He was an antagonist throughout the series, originally a friend to Eragon, but this friendship was later ruined because he was discovered to be the son of a dragon slayer and that wasn’t allowed. Murtagh was later captured against his will to become the righthand of the bad King Galbatrix. He ends up having to fight against Eragon a few times; the final time he wins which wins Murtagh his freedom and eventually he joins forces with Eragon to take down the king. By the end of the series, he is still viewed as the enemy though based on his bloodline. This is where the short story picks up – Murtagh living out his life as a lone wolf of sorts. I enjoyed this short story and getting to learn more about what happens to Murtagh after the series ended.
I didn’t like the story of Angela and Eva – I felt there was no purpose to the story and it was only written as filler content. In the original series, Eva was cursed by Eragon after he accidentally said a protection spell incorrectly. Her curse is to be a shield against evil, so she constantly has to endure pain from the enemy. Her curse is used by the queen as protection. Angela, a witch, takes Eva from the palace and out into the wilderness for her protection to give her a chance to live normally. Then, in the short story, Angela teaches Eva the art of being a witch. They reach out to Eragon to whom Angela gives her memoirs (with the clause that they may or may not be true) which we, the reader, then get to read to learn Angela’s backstory. I felt that this was a pointless story, only written to fill pages.
I liked the story of the dragon of Kulkaras – it was the only one of the three that introduced new characters who weren’t in the original series, both the dragon and a young urgal called Ilgra. The clan of urgals live happily in the mountains until the dragon comes and destroys their village and kills Ilgra’s father, among many others. After the dragon destroys everything in sight, he retreats to the mountains of Kulkaras. The remaining urgals then try to chase him away, however, after more bloodshed, they give up. Ilgra doesn’t want to give up, so she goes on a mission by herself to attempt to get rid of the dragon. She almost dies – but then she uses the magic that a shaman taught her to make the dragon join their side to protect the urgals against attacks from other animals and enemies. It symbolizes the unreachable thing that all of us have, and that instead of chasing it away or killing it, we must learn to live with it and accept it.
Unfortunately, overall it felt as though the book was only written to ride on the success of the Eragon series, relying on nostalgia as a selling point. The book was quite empty in terms of content, each page had huge margins and the chapters were all disoriented. It felt like Paolini had some good ideas for storylines, but needed to build it out to make it the length of a proper book and that he ended up writing just to fill the pages.

Reviews for "Magic Link Authorization: A Modern Alternative to Passwords with Auth0"
1. John - 2/5 - I found the "Magic link authorization with Auth0" to be rather confusing and not user-friendly. The process of generating a magic link and logging in was not explained clearly, and I ended up getting locked out of my account multiple times. Additionally, the email notifications for the magic links were often delayed, causing further frustration. Overall, I think there are better alternatives available for authorization and authentication.
2. Emily - 1/5 - I had a terrible experience with the "Magic link authorization with Auth0". The whole process was extremely slow, and it took forever to receive the magic link via email. When I finally received it, the link expired before I could even click on it, and I had to request another one. This happened multiple times, making it nearly impossible for me to access the authentication system. It was a complete waste of time and I would not recommend it to anyone.
3. Michael - 2/5 - I had high hopes for the "Magic link authorization with Auth0" but I was left disappointed. The overall user experience was confusing, with unclear instructions and a lack of intuitive navigation. I had trouble figuring out how to generate the magic link and ended up having to look for external tutorials to understand the process better. It would be great if there were more detailed documentation and a more intuitive user interface to make the authentication process smoother for users.
