Eragon: Book One (The Inheritance Cycle, 1)

Product Information

A set of shiny new (or grizzled old) dragons of the Inheritance Cycle we just finished rebinding, and heading into the world! Anyway, I doubt I would like City of Bones if I would reread it now, nearly 10 years after I read it for the first time. It's like Paolini actually, in all seriousness, used Diana Wynne Jones' humorous The Tough Guide to Fantasyland as a real technical manual on how to create the Eragon universe. If I was reading this 15 years ago, it could’ve been one of the books that introduced me to this genre and I know it, in fact, did for a lot of people. I would like to see one of you come up with a story that has nothing similar to any other story out there (and it actually be a good story).

But when the stone brings a dragon hatchling, Eragon soon realizes he has stumbled upon a legacy nearly as old as the Empire itself. Yet, amid the shadows, the narrative brightens as the inseparable pair confront seemingly insurmountable challenges--and triumph through the strength of their bond. He’s particularly protective of children in a way that wasn’t displayed by previous series protagonists.Eragon finds a huge egg in the forest but thinks it is just a precious stone — that is until it hatches and a dragon emerges. BAM doesn't ship outside the US which is a real letdown for any Inheritance Cycle fans overseas who want to add this to their collection. Due to a printing defect, less than 1% of books printed on the initial release had 32 pages of Cornelia Funke’s book Inkspell in them.

Along the way he gains and loses friends, and rescues a mysteeeerious woman from a horrible dungeon while never straying from his quest to put right all that is wrong in a world oppressively ruled by an evil king. I didn't mind that Eragon didn't always think before he acted, or that he felt that the world and fate was against him. Eldest begins three days after the events of the preceding novel, Eragon, in the dwarf city of Tronjheim, inside of a hollowed mountain named Farthen Dûr. Eragon is not a bad book, by all means, it's just a book that in my opinion will appeal more towards children or teenagers; it’s something that I will definitely recommend to younger kids.Another common method of identification is the number line – that’s a line of numbers on the copyright page. I had never heard of Christopher Paolini before, and was walking through Barnes and Noble when I saw this book on the end display.

He shows mercy to him, on account of their old friendship, but takes Eragon's sword Zar'roc, which he claims to be his inheritance, revealing that he and Eragon are brothers.
