I'm afraid to say that book slapped when I was a kid, but the hype elevated once the movies started coming out.
Imagining a world where Eragon had a good movie, it'd probably change the trajectory of a lot of things
Same for me friend, I was really into it as a kid because I was blissfully unaware of everything it really meant. I was fed the slop and I liked it
I was into the first 5, but had super checked out/aged out of them after that. I was like 14 when the 5th one came out. By 6 and 7 I was old enough to realise “oh these actually kinda suck”. Not in a political sense, I just thought the actual books themselves were mid a.f. once I reached my later teens
I was 10 when the last one was released, it really hits different when you still play with sticks
The movies really got the boost from having a John Williams score. Even his work on super mid movies is incredibly memorable.
We played stuff from the Harry Potter soundtrack in band one year
