I read Eragon and Eldest back in middle/high school, really enjoying them, but for some reason Brisingr didn’t really work for me and I DNF’d it. I reread Eragon once since then, but got distracted with other series.
Now with the release of Murtagh on the horizon (it’s out now, but when I started the reread it wasn’t released yet) I have been able to reread Eragon and Eldest, and finished Brisingr. Brisingr was honestly my favorite so far, I’m not sure why it didn’t work for me as a kid but I loved it now. I’m sure part of it is, I’ve discovered Sanderson since then, which has really expanded my patience with long and sometimes slow novels that have a good payoff in the end. As a kid I thought Brisingr felt slow, but now that I’ve experienced more epic fantasy I honestly felt it was pretty fast paced and exciting for the most part. It’s funny how subjective opinions can change so wildly over a few years.
I’m about halfway through Inheritance, the last book in the series, and I know I’ll finally finish it because I am so excited for Murtagh, and I also really don’t want to have anything spoiled for me and I don’t know if Murtagh has any spoilers for the main series.
