Eragon (Inheritance, #1)

I have always heard a lot about theInheritanceseries. It seems to be one of those series that gets recommended all the time for Middle Grade readers. It was published well after my time, however, so I never got to it.
When the audiobook forEragonbecame available through my library, I decided to give it a shot. Better late than never.
I am happy to report, I really enjoyed it and am glad I took the time to read it.
The narrator was a hoot! He created so many distinct voices for the many different characters.
His voice for Sephira, the dragon cracked me up. It was so goofy, but in a really endearing way.
This Middle Grade tale weaves together many classic Fantasy elements, such as magic, dragon lore, a quest and plenty of action.
Reading some of the reviews, it appears some people thought it was a cliched version ofLord of the Rings.I didn't really get that feeling from it.
I mean, sure, lots of Fantasy is inspired from what came before, but I would hardly consider it a copycat version.
So, if you have heard that, I wouldn't let it dissuade you from picking it up to try for yourself.
I'm not sure if I will end up continuing with the series or not, but a part of me wants to. I am sure, like with many series, the story continues to get better and better.

I'm glad you liked it! That's actually the book that got me into reading when I was 11, so it's always nice to see people enjoying it after all this time.

"Oh, yayeee! I love heari..."I only read the first three books because too many years had passed by the time the fourth one came out and I didn't remember any details to go on with the series, but I had really enjoyed them at the time! I'd suggest you at least tried the second book!
