Reread of 2024. 
Even though I remembered it as a 5-star read from when I was younger, I might have exaggerated slightly at that time. It's pretty slow and Eragon still feels like a kid, but the story was still good. It is/was a great first book with great potential for the next one. 
Adventures and wars with dragons and elves, what more do we need?

I love Eragon, and it is a joy to revisit this world that was so immersive to me as a kid. As an adult, I find Eragon a pretty annoying and immature character. I also think the writing reflects the authors age at the time that it was written. That said, even with those flaws, the world is immersive and just plain fun.
