Eragon
What do you think of Eragon? Personally I think it's lacking depth. I does have a very nice story line. I'd suggest this to young teen readers only! : ) Feel free to comment!

My brother gave me the two books as a gift because I have a thing about dragons and wizards and such. I also felt that it wasn't a 'deep' read but I don't think it was meant to be.
I found it to be a story that kept moving and growing. A series where the next book will be anticipated for its forward movement and character development. I have not read Eldest yet but I liked hearing that it is better. It will be one of my next reads. Lots of possibility. |

Eragon is a very interesting fantasy, the more so because it is the first book in a series that hasn't yet been completed. I've read both the first and second books, and the second (Eldest) is definitely better than the first. That said, reading the first book is absolutely essential to understanding the second. Both books form one continues narrative, so the rest of my comments will address them as a whole.
The books focus on the development of the individual characters and paint sweeping brush strokes to canvas the fantasy world of Alagasia. The action is sprinkled lightly across the text to add spice to the drama, but neither book depends on the action. Paolini has created separate languages for the different races and cultures, including the "master" language of the magic users. I'm not a philologist, so I won't attempt any linguistic criticisms. Compared to other fantasy works, The Inheritance Trilogy isn't as good as Tolkien's Lord of the Rings Epic, but it definitely surpasses Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia. If you want to read an entertaining fantasy, Eragon is a pretty good one. |
