"Your namesake was the beginning, and now you are the continuation. Or the end."

I LOVED this book when it came out over 20 years ago and went into this reread expecting a similar experience to my 11-year-old self. But the book was slower than I remember, and I didn't understand why much of the wandering around was included. But this also means that I don't remember the series as well as I thought I had, which makes me even more excited to continue the reread? Idk. It's very complicated. Despite my mixed bag of reactions to this book, I am full-steam-ahead enthusiastic to read Murtagh after I get through the first four books!!!

Eragon was not what I expected! It has a very different tone than Percy Jackson, but it was super charming! It had way more of a focus on Eragon’s feelings and relationships with other people/Saphira than I expected. Just a classic hero story with lots of heart!
Tbh it lost me in several places on the plot bc I was listening to it on audiobook and the plot was a bit generic, but the vibes were very good and heartwarming :3

I first read this when this came out (I was in middle school then), and now I've just read it again as an adult. As many have said, it is super trope-y, but it's to be expected when it's the work of a 16-year-old. Beat for beat, it's basically Star Wars: A New Hope, but with dragons. I remember really liking this as a kid, but it's super violent, which I don't so much like now.
