Book 3: Eragon by Christopher Paolini

One boy... One dragon... A world of adventure.

When Eragon finds a polished blue stone in the forest, he thinks it is the lucky discovery of a poor farm boy; perhaps it will buy his family meat for the winter. But when the stone brings a dragon hatchling, Eragon soon realizes he has stumbled upon a legacy nearly as old as the Empire itself.

Overnight his simple life is shattered, and he is thrust into a perilous new world of destiny, magic, and power. With only an ancient sword and the advice of an old storyteller for guidance, Eragon and the fledgling dragon must navigate the dangerous terrain and dark enemies of an Empire ruled by a king whose evil knows no bounds. Can Eragon take up the mantle of the legendary Dragon Riders? The fate of the Empire may rest in his hands.

My review: (spoilers)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I read this book series as a kid and I absolutely DEVOURED them. This series sparked my love of fantasy and I still am waiting for a dragon to bond with.

It’s not necessarily a technically well-written book, and I know most of my fondness is tainted by nostalgia, but this book series will always have a special place in my heart. I started this book so I could reread the entire series, but I still have not finished the second one. I’ll get to it eventually.

I would love to see Gregor and Eragon meet at some point after the end of their respective series. Eragon and Saphira would absolutely understand the loss of Ares in a way no other would, and Gregor would understand how it felt for Eragon to lose Brom. They are both battle-scarred, and their lives have been permanently changed due to war.

Also I like the idea of a crossover between these two because Roran is absolutely a rager and you cannot convince me otherwise.

stg if i didnt know who murtagh (im listening to the audiobook idk how its spelled) was i would think his introduction is implying that he's unfathomably gay for eragon

[d3ad-on-arriva1]

eragon really needs a constant chaperone doesnt he

[microfeelings]

Don't know if this is an unpopular opinion, but I don't like that Arya is queen AND dragon rider...

[axolotl-anemonoides]

I'm re-reading Eragon and I'm at the part where Murtagh is first introduced and meets Brom and Eragon and I just have so many thoughts and feelings about it.

1. Omg family moment and they just don't know. Only Roran is missing and if he was there it would be the only four people that are remaining of this complicated family. And just ahhh I want them to be alright and happy and realize they have each other.

2. Murtagh my traumatized boi, like you can already see in the first moments that he has a difficult life and some 🌟trauma🌟 but you also know there's gonna be so much more. So much more stuff to happen to this guy, scar him and so much character development... you love him but you also know there's gonna be some major asshole moments but you know it's not really his fault and just aaaahhh let me hug you and relieve you of your problems

3. Connected with the previous point but damn I'm looking forward to the Murtagh book. I'd just love to see his point of view!And I hope that Ch.P. did a good job and the book is truthful to the canon of the Inheritance cycle. (Like... I know I probably don't have to worry because Ch.P. is a good writer and I trust him but still...)

4. I just wish I didn't have to go through the entirety of the four books of drama for it to be finally alright. I guess I just need some fanfics. Some family momets fanfics. Some fluff for these two.

5. As I said.... just Murtagh. 🫂

I WAS NOT PREPARED

NOT AT ALL

@fireladyofink FLAME

FLAME INTHOUGHT I WAS PREPARED FOR THAT

DAMN IT OROMIS, DAMN IT GLADEAR

WHY COULDN'T YOU STAY HOOOOOOME

THE GREATEST TEACHERS IN ALAGAESIA

GONE

DAMN IT PAOLINI WHY MUST I BE SO ATTATCHED TO ALL THE CHARACTERS YOU RIP AWAY

Anyway, I am handling character death in books very normally. As I should

[next-gazelle]

Murtagh is so upset about being upgraded from secondary antagonist to main character

[magicandmundane]

Murtagh: Yeah, sure, my stupid kid brother is the leader of the Riders. But am I going to acknowledge that? F*ck no. I hate authority, and I am not giving him that ego boost. Now let’s go hunt down this witch and her cult.

Meanwhile, Eragon: *gets nervous when someone says he’s in charge* *literally could not sleep in a bed because Vrael used to sleep there* *turns down positions of authority almost every chance he gets* *is just a goofy little guy who would like to see his big bro every once in a while*

[parkerspancake]

The differences between Eragon&Saphira and Murtagh&Thorn

Saphira: If you hurt yourself, I'm going to kill everyone involved. Eragon: *gets hurt* Saphira: Oh, little one. Come here. *cuddles him for hours* Thorn: If you do that, you're going to hurt yourself. Murtagh: *gets hurt* Thorn: I fucking told you. *grunts disappointed*

Don't know if it'll make sense

But Eragon is a teacher

And Murtagh is a technician

Eragon is always pondering on the *why* of things. How this works, what words did what, and how could he get a better result.

Murtagh is just "alright it's taking a bit more energy outta me than I would've liked, but it's working, so it's fine"

[thankyouretinazer]

thorn really just said “murtagh you need to get laid”
