We meet elves, dwarves, sorcerers, monsters, witches, a werecat and humans, some good, some evil. Eragon is a believable hero who grows in complexity as he ages and meets the many challenges in his life. She is a wise and wise-cracking creature with a tremendous sense of humor. Why do I like it? Of course, Saphira, the Blue Dragon, is a wonderful character. It is a very good book and is only insulted by those jealous of the young author’s success.ĥ.0 out of 5 stars Marvelous book Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2018 And the fact that this book is not a cult classic such as Tolkein’s should not affect its merit. But this author is judged much more harshly and unjustly because he is young by people who are unable to form their own opinions and blindly judge the worth of a book by its acclaim. Tolkien and Le Guinn were not any more creative, many fantasy elements in their stories go back to before their stories as well.
He does not “borrow” fantasy elements from more widely known authors any more than those widely known authors borrowed from ancient fairy tails. You would not know it was written by a 17 year old unless you were told and it is criticized unfairly because of his age. There is a review on here stating that the book is only decent for a 17 year old to have written but not an adult, and that is nonsense. I did not read this series for a long time after hearing much criticism of the young author and now regret that I did not read it sooner.
