It's been aging since I read this book and the series. I had a good time. The characters were good, the relationships were decent, the plot was enjoyable, and the writing was alright.

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.

Simply put, the book is bad. Like, really bad. The writing is tedious, the characters and their interactions with one another are flat, and the story dragged for forever. The "climax" was a blur of a battle scene, and that was it. I didn't care for any of the characters, even when the author was trying so hard to make the reader sympathize with them.
And my goodness, the use of the traditional fantasy tropes was....annoying....to say the least.
Here is the full review on my blog!

The rape is (inferred) attempted rape. Also warnings for: massacre/mass murder (described); imprisonment (described); and beheading (described).mrclaire's review against another edition
