I like this ok ok. I will definitely check out the second book in the series because I felt the world building and the different characters are good. I took longer to read this book than usual. I felt , at times, to toss away the book and happily DNF. But I somehow trudged my way through the parts that felt dragging, drawling. I felt some fight sequences are unnecessary and it is unreal how whereever Eragon went, he was mystically followed by enemy troops. I also thought that the author struggled a bit with descriptions and portraying the fight scenes.
Eragon is a sixteen year old boy but he is treated like a very young kid. His dragon has this mental connection with him where they have no boundaries and everything is known to each other - i thought this is magical and fantastic. I loved the book until his first teacher, another dragon rider, Brom, died. Eragon can do magic, can ride his own dragon and access the memories and consciousness of other creatures - elves, humans, shades etc.
Overall an ok read.
