A review by desertlover
Eragon by Christopher Paolini
3.0
3.5 STARS
Even though it's high fantasy, I never really had much interest in this series. However, this summer I met Paolini (my daughter is a huge fan) and I was so smitten by how engaging he was with my kiddo, I felt a desire to read the series. He ranks in the top five of authors I've ever met, and I have the biggest nerd crush.
Overall, I think it has potential. Often times, it felt slow paced/uneventful, only to be followed by massive amounts of information overload/action. I admire the relationship between Eragon and Saphira. I look forward to the book 2.
