Eragon shaped so much of my love of fantasy books and, later, my own writing.
The main characters learn and grow; they have flaws. And the book has real stakes.
My one complaint is that Arya's character is kinda flat, but she did spend most of the book unconscious, so I'll give her a pass for now.

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.

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.
