Hi all,

I read the original Eragon book a long time ago but I've been wondering if the series is something worth getting into. I remember the moving being just awful lol.

I really love this series.

The universe may feel a bit generic, but it’s like a “best of” fantasy classics—with strong worldbuilding, a solid magic system, and a great cast of characters. The pacing is good, too.

The author was quite young when he wrote the first book, which makes the young hero feel especially believable (refreshing). As the series goes on, the writing improve noticeably in my opinion.

It's an easy read with a good flow so you might as well give it a go.

Oh and the movie never existed, never!

I have only seen the movie, and I recall liking it quite a bit 😀

It has been quite a while though, so don't remember any story.
