One of my favs, Eragon was the book that I read most during my early teens. Great first character, dragons, elves, a legacy and scary creatures. The plot is full of action and adventure, the twists are enough to keep the interest high and you can easily fall in love with the characters. Love this book, the best of the series.

haven’t read a book with over like 300 pages in ages so this was quite challenging for me.

i don’t think i enjoyed this quite as much as i did when i first read it at about age 10-12, but i did still enjoy it.

equally excited and terrified to read the sequels now, hopefully before the new book comes out.

wish me luck, i just picked the second one up from my bookshelf and cried a little when i saw how many pages were before me.

I just can't get over how boring this was. I realise how much world building was needed for this story but the characters could have made it much more enjoyable and I just didn't feel that from them. I mean, no humor, no depth (besides being the "chosen" one and being frustrated about the journey and choice etc etc) - which I find uninteresting and overdone - there wasn't even a romance to mix things up which strangely, I kinda needed. I may or may not continue this series but that's going to be a hard choice seeing as how these books are so dense.

Thank you audiobooks for making this read possible + bearable.
