While this book has a traditional fantasy world, it's still rich and extensive. The bond between Eragon and Saphira is fantastic and heartwarming and Saphira is so EPIC.

I love books with dragons, but it's so difficult to find amazing ones. My favourite part is obviously the dragons. While I do like some of the secondary characters, such as Saphira, Arya, Angela, Nasuada and Murtagh (whose appearance at the end of Eldest could be the origin of a potentially amazing anti-hero), I didn't get attached to any of them. I don't mind the Farmboy-Becomes-The-Chosen-One trope, as long as the character is compelling and there's no deus ex machina happenings, but Eragon is just alright.

Eragon and Eldest is slow-paced, predictable, repetitive and extremely descriptive, but it's these aspects that make for a relaxing, calming and enjoyable audiobook experience.Įragon is one of the OG Gary-Stu's.
