I will always love this book.

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.
