This series is a delight, especially as an adult. You get to witness Eragon grow up, and face so many relatable challenges as a teenager (e.g., I have a crush on a girl and I don’t know what to do with my hands) despite the fact that many of his conflicts are probably not terribly relatable (e.g., how do I defeat this other dragon rider with swords and magic). The entire cast is flawed, but with each their own strengths that we get to see them discover. The world building is artfully done without being too complicated.
