I have an intense love for "Eragon" and "Eldest"! Reading these books is an absolute thrill, and "Eldest", in particular, is an unputdownable page-turner. I found myself staying up extremely late last night as I simply had to finish the book.

*SPOILER-ALERT*

WOW! I was certain that Murtagh wasn't dead, yet I truly believed that he would resist Galbatorix and that Eragon would manage to save him. I had such a great liking for Murtagh that I couldn't bring myself to think that he would actually give in. It's quite amusing that due to listening to "Eragon" as an audiobook, I now envision Murtagh's voice (or hear it in my mind) with a thick Scottish accent (since that's how the reader presented his voice in the audiobook), and it makes him even more endearing!

There are numerous loose ends that I'm eagerly dying to read about! When will the third book be released? I'm hoping that Eragon and Saphira will be able to defeat the "bad guys" not just by relying on luck. I'm growing tired of that. I want them to become all-powerful already! I'm eager to see them completely dominate and kick some serious butt! And what will occur with the rescue of Katrina? It's evident that if they're keeping her alive, they're using her for something dreadful. I can't help but think that when they go to rescue her, they'll discover something truly horrible instead. Ooh, but I sincerely hope not. Also, did Jeod's wife come with him because she loves him, or is she a spy for Galbatorix? In my opinion, she didn't accompany him when he left the house because she had to report to her superiors first, and they instructed her to stay with Jeod to closely monitor him. Oh, and isn't that little girl whom Eragon blessed rather creepy? But also so sad. What an interesting character she is.

If you have a passion for the fantastical worlds of Lord of the Rings (Tolken) and the enchanting Harry Potter series, then Christopher Paolini's books are sure to capture your imagination.

It is truly remarkable to think that these books were penned by a minor. The level of creativity and skill on display is simply amazing.

If only I could have achieved such literary prowess at his age, perhaps my career path would have taken a different turn. Alas, such is life.

One of the great things about Paolini's books is that they are a quick read. The storylines are easy to follow, making them accessible to readers of all ages. At the same time, they are also great fun to read, filled with adventure, magic, and memorable characters.

Whether you are a die-hard fan of fantasy or simply looking for an entertaining read, Christopher Paolini's books are well worth checking out.

Eldest was an exciting and action-packed sequel to the first novel. The story line became even more interesting, with the characters evolving into more complex beings. Eragon was continuously pushed out of his comfort zone, and each time, the outcome was even more astonishing. I also relished the character development. By the end of the book, my perception of the characters had completely changed compared to the beginning. Overall, this novel is an engaging and captivating read that I would highly recommend to a friend. It keeps you on the edge of your seat from start to finish, with its thrilling adventures and unexpected twists. The author has done a great job of creating a vivid and immersive world that you can't help but get lost in. If you're a fan of fantasy novels, then Eldest is definitely a must-read.

Alright, so, years ago, "Eragon" was my absolute favorite book. This wasn't at all unusual as I had - and still have - a profound love for dragons. Whether it was "Eragon" or "Dragon Rider" by Cornelia Funke, I would carry those books around with me and eagerly reread my favorite parts.

Not so long ago, I managed to get my hands on "Eldest". Well, I was still completely in love with Eragon, so "Eldest" wasn't bad at all. Of course, I was furious at the ending (but I won't say why here as it's a spoiler). It was when I got halfway through "Brisingr" that I just couldn't finish that book. In fact, I couldn't finish the entire series.

The "Inheritance Cycle" has received a lot of love, but also a fair amount of not-so-much-love. At first, I was seriously in love with the books. By that, I mean it could have easily stopped at "Eragon", and I would have been fully invested in that one book alone.

But it didn't stop at the first book. It just kept going and going. There's nothing wrong with a long book or a series, mind you! I understand that the story line needed to progress, with different struggles and unresolved issues. However, I lost interest. I lost interest in the series because of what the author did to his characters. To me, they seemed to lose their spark, their "umph". The whole story kind of lost its essence, you might say.

To me, it just seemed like the characters were shortchanged and a lot of things were simply thrown in haphazardly. I didn't like what happened to most of the characters at all. I loved "Eragon" (book one), but after that, things just went downhill. It's no longer a series that I enjoy, although it was nice while it lasted. :)

This is an extremely excellent fantasy book, bearing resemblance to both The Lord of the Rings and Name of the Wind.

The Inheritance series encompasses my most favored magic physics. Despite being a work of fantasy, it is highly believable.

Even though these books are firmly within the realm of fantasy, a significant number of the facts and physics presented are based on truth.

For instance, when Eragon is soaring through the sky on his dragon, as he ascends to great heights, the air becomes bitterly cold, and it becomes increasingly difficult for him to draw breath.

Moreover, Eragon's background is described in meticulous detail, making it truly fascinating.

It is this combination of engaging storylines, believable magic physics, and well-developed characters that makes the Inheritance series a must-read for any fantasy enthusiast.

These books are penned by a fledgling author.

As a result, there are certain aspects, like the use of imagery, that are not yet fully matured and developed.

However, the story itself is rather engaging.

The very first book, Eragon, was written when the author was a mere 15 years old.

I must say, it's quite astonishing.

The third book is rumored to be released sometime this year.

It will be interesting to see how the author has grown and developed as a writer since the first book.

Perhaps the third book will show more refinement in the use of literary devices and a more complex and captivating storyline.

We'll just have to wait and see.

Another young adult series that can be regarded as a modern and more accessible version of Lord of the Rings

I was initially filled with nervousness about what I might come across while reading it. However, to my great surprise and delight, I ended up falling in love with the books.

What makes it even more remarkable is the fascinating story behind the young man who penned these wonderful works.

By the way, it is crucial not to let the movie adaptation spoil your perception of the book. The movie was executed in a truly horrible manner, failing to capture the essence and magic of the original story.

It is advisable to approach the book with an open mind and allow yourself to be immersed in the rich and captivating world that the author has created.

You will be rewarded with a reading experience that is both engaging and unforgettable.

Eragon and Eldest are novels that possess a unique set of characteristics. They are often described as slow-paced, predictable, repetitive, and extremely descriptive. However, it is precisely these aspects that contribute to a relaxing, calming, and enjoyable audiobook experience.

Eragon is one of the original Gary-Stu characters. The Farmboy-Becomes-The-Chosen-One trope can be engaging if the character is compelling and there are no deus ex machina events. In the case of Eragon, he is just average. While some of the secondary characters, such as Saphira, Arya, Angela, Nasuada, and Murtagh (whose appearance at the end of Eldest could potentially be the origin of an amazing anti-hero), are likeable, the reader doesn't necessarily become deeply attached to them.

The dragons are undoubtedly the favorite part of these books. Loving books with dragons, it can be challenging to find truly outstanding ones. The bond between Eragon and Saphira is both fantastic and heartwarming, and Saphira is truly EPIC.

Although the world in these books is a traditional fantasy one, it is still rich and extensive. In Eldest, as Eragon travels to different places, the world becomes even more expansive, and it is interesting to observe how the various races live and interact.

The plot progression has its ups and downs. There are moments when the plot is action-packed and fast-paced, but there are also parts that are slow and burdened, usually due to an excess of descriptive passages and a lack of significant events.

In conclusion, this is a world that is predictable and formulaic, where you know exactly what to expect. Nevertheless, it offers a great audiobook experience. I am so glad that I reread Eragon and Eldest via audiobook because I don't believe I would have enjoyed them as much otherwise.

I embarked on reading this series mainly because my brother had thoroughly enjoyed them. Moreover, I had the intention of watching the movie after getting through the books.

It is truly quite remarkable and highly imaginative considering the author was only 15 years old!

However, I would strongly recommend against bothering to see the movie. In fact, I wish I could somehow erase the memory of having seen it.

The books, on the other hand, offer a great fantasy reading experience.

Just be cautious of the dork factor that might come into play if you disclose to your friends that you stayed up all night engrossed in reading dragon books.

I definitely endured a fair amount of teasing for that very reason. :)

Overall, despite the movie's disappointment, the books are well worth the read for any fantasy enthusiast.

All those words,

but not one original idea can be found among them.

It seems as if the author has simply strung together a series of common phrases and expressions,

without adding any unique perspective or fresh insights.

This lack of originality makes the piece rather uninteresting and forgettable.

Readers are left longing for something new and exciting,

something that will make them think and engage with the text on a deeper level.

In a world where there is so much information and so many voices vying for our attention,

it is essential for writers to bring something original to the table.

Otherwise, their words will simply blend in with the countless others and be lost in the noise.

I haven't actually read the second one yet, but I am looking forward to it with great anticipation.

So far, it is definitely an epic story that has captured my imagination. However, I am a little annoyed that I haven't been able to uncover more of the background. But then again, I am only about half way through, so I'm hoping that will change as I progress further.

I thought that the situation would change, but it's similar to Lord of the Rings in that you are left completely hanging. I suppose that's the point, to keep you on the edge of your seat and eager for more. But it always annoys me when that happens.

Nonetheless, I will definitely read #2. However, I am going to take a break before delving into it. I need some time to process what I've read so far and build up my excitement for the next installment.

My favourite books so far are truly remarkable, although I am well aware that there is a vast world of literature waiting for me to explore.

I simply can't contain my excitement for the arrival of the third installment. In fact, I have already delved into these two books not just once, but twice.

However, if I had to choose, I would say that I have a particular soft spot for Eragon. There is something about this book that keeps drawing me back.

The story, the characters, and the world-building all combine to create an immersive experience that I find truly captivating.

Each time I read it, I discover new details and nuances that add to my appreciation of the book.

I am eager to see how the story continues in the third book and how the characters will develop further.

Until then, I will continue to cherish my copies of these two books and eagerly await the next adventure.
