Ich liebe dieses Buch! Ich liebe, wie die Welt wird super eindrücklich beschrieben wird, mit tollen Details, wie die Charaktere ausgebaut und an fast allen Punkten sehr gut nachvollziehbar sind und auch die Dynamiken zwischen den verschiedenen Figuren (aller Völker). Das Magiesystem gefällt mir sehr gut und alles was Eragon lernt ist auch für mich spannend. Es macht Spaß mit ihm auf die lange Reise zu gehen und Alagäsia zu erkunden.
Eines der wenigen Bücher (zu denen auch Eragon 3 gehört), die mich mit einer dramatischen, emotionalen Szene zum Weinen gebracht hat. Für mich der Beweis dafür, dass Paolini es schafft, mich vollends in seine Welt hineinzuziehen.

This was a beautiful coming of age fantasy about a boy and his dragon, or a dragon and her boy. I have read and enjoyed the LOTR series multiple times, and this book was very similar in many ways: think epic journey, father figure mentor, dwarves, elves, dragons, demonic bad folk, magic, and battles. But it was also different in many ways, so don’t let that deter you!

I loved the bond between Eragon and Saphira. Their friendship and love for one another was beautiful to read. I also really liked Paolini’s descriptions of Saphira—how she grew and changed throughout the book. How strong and beautiful she was. 

This was a wonderful fantasy novel and I cannot wait to continue reading the series. A great book for anyone looking to dip their toes into fantasy for the first time, or for seasoned old people like myself who love getting lost in a good story.
