He makes the characters seem overemotional and slightly immature and I don't like how he voiced some of them. What you are not entitled to is saying that a certain author is a piece or crap and a knock off of a literary masterpiece. He looked back once to see Thorn still crouched atop the crest of the hill, watching with slitted eyes. Eragon has a prophetic dream of the coming battle, and decides to interrupt his training to aid the Varden in battle. Paolini also resembles other fantasy authors by denying that he is a fantasy author, instead imagining that he is a great literary talent.

His characters do seem to grow and change over the course of four novels, but that is truly a low bar to set in terms of expectation. This book has gotten lots of attention since it first came out, partly because the author is so young.

Eragon thinks he can keep his dragon, Saphira, a secret, but when the King sends the deadly Raz'ac to find and capture him and Saphira he realises that he has put his whole town in danger. I don’t care what kind of books or genre you read, if the book sparked your love for reading a genre, that gets a praise from me and Paolini did it for countless readers.

In an Alagaësia that’s at last free from tyrannical King Galbatorix, Murtagh and his dragon, Thorn, cannot free themselves from the stain of association.

To celebrate, Christopher Paolini announced that in addition to the upcoming novel Murtagh, he’ll be releasing an over-sized illustrated anniversary edition of Eragon! By that time Saphira had been growing for a while and takes Eragon to the Spine after Ra'zac appear in their village Carvahall. Worldwide Eldest has several publishers including Gailivro, which publishes the Polish and Portuguese Eldest, [30] and Gramedia Pustaka Utama, the publisher of the Indonesian translations.
