Eragon image from here, Eldest image from here
Roughly 2 weeks ago, I started reading the Inheritance series by Christopher Paolini. I finished reading Eragon about a week ago, and I just finished Eldest literally just now. I really wanted to do a book review, because the series is SO GOOD!!! (And also because I’m really bored)
If you haven’t read either of the books, go read them, then come back here (yeah, don’t read this unless you want spoilers)
If you have read Eragon but not Eldest, don’t worry, I’m doing both reviews seperately
If you have read Eldest but not Eragon, I have one question for you: WHAT ARE THOSE!? Okay, I’m kidding. The question is: Why would you read the second book but not the first???
ERAGON
A summary of the book by me?
Dragons
My favourite part?
When Eragon and Murtagh are in Gil’ead, and Eragon is getting beaten by Durza the Shade, and Saphira comes and saves them
My favourite character?
That’s a hard one. Probably Saphira, because she’s a freaking dragon. I like Eragon, Arya, and Murtagh as well
My least favourite character?
That’s really hard to say. Galbatorix was the one behind the Fall of the Riders, and Morzan was as well. I really hate the Twins though, and I don’t think they should be trusted at all
My reaction when Garrow died?
CALLED IT!
My reaction when Brom died?
CALLED IT! But that was so sad…
My reaction when Murtagh reveals he’s the son of Morzan?
I knew he’d have someone evil as his father… but ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!
My reaction when Brom reveals that he was a Rider and that his dragon was named Saphira?
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!
ELDEST
A summary of the book by me?
Dragons
My favourite part?
I don’t really have one
My favourite character?
I don’t have a favourite, but my favourite 5 characters are Eragon, Saphira, Arya, Roran, Nasuada
My least favourite character?
THE TWINS. THEY WERE TRAITORS AND THEY WERE BEHIND AJIHAD’S DEATH AND WHAT HAPPENED TO MURTAGH
How do I feel about Eragon liking Arya?
I wanted them to be together ever since they met! Stop friend zoning Eragon, Arya!!! (It is kinda funny, though)
My reaction when Eragon finds out he cursed Elva rather than blessing her?
*Slow clap* WELL DONE ERAGON *endless sarcasm*
My reaction when Ajihad died?
That’s so sad! The battle was over, then he got killed? I wonder who’s gonna lead the Varden now…
My reaction when the Twins vanished?
I DON’T CARE ABOUT THEM! WHERE IS MURTAGH?!?!
My reaction when Murtagh vanished?
NOOOOOO!!! I REFUSE TO BELIEVE HE IS DEAD!
My reaction when Oromis and Glaedr came into the story?
OH MY GODS THERE IS ANOTHER DRAGON AND RIDER
My reaction when Eragon is fighting the anonymous Rider?
Is that Galbatorix? No, it can’t be, this is only the second book out of four… yeah, Galbatorix has a black dragon, not a red dragon… who is it? Wait… Eragon knows him… I never thought Murtagh died… wait… NOOOOO!!!!!!!
My reaction when Murtagh turns out to be the opposing Rider fighting Eragon?
ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME!?!? HE WAS ONE OF MY FAVOURITES AND NOW HE’S EVIL
My reaction when Murtagh tells Eragon they’re brothers, and his father is Morzan?
WHAT THEY’RE BROTHERS? WHAT!? I thought Eragon would have someone evil as his father… but Morzan!?!? Just WHAT!?!
ERAGON AND ELDEST OUT OF 10?
9 and 3/4. Yes, I rate it the same as Harry Potter
Thanks for reading!
