Eragon by Christopher Paolini
4.0
adventurous medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

I will be reading the rest of the series for sure. After reading a heavier fantasy series before this book, Eragon is a breath of fresh air. It’s certainly not without it’s sad/darker moments but it does have a lot of wholesome moments in and it has really captured my imagination. I enjoy the more blunt writing style and the characters are quite loveable (though not extremely fleshed out). The plot is good but it does fall into the fantasy trap of a lot of travelling that isn’t all that well justified in the story and sort of feels like for the sake of it. In all honesty it’s not a literary masterpiece but there’s something just so darn charming and captivating about this book. I’ll certainly be trying the next book in the series!
