I remember really enjoying the first two Eragon books as a kid, though I barely remember any characters, or anything that happened, really. I do remember being very disappointed in the movie though.

But it sounds like the books wouldn't be worth revisiting? 😕

First two books are great. I don’t think it’s worth revisiting the ending for the last book was lame.

::: massive spoilers

Tap for spoiler

Eragon defeats the main evil wizard guy and now has some dragon eggs. He tells Arya the elvish princess that’s been saving his ass for the last 3 books that he’s leaving forever to live in solitude with the eggs. He rides off into the sunset never to be seen again.

Yeah, but that was already foreshadowed on the first book when he received the prophecy from Angela. Him getting together with Arya would have made no sense in the first place.

What do you mean the teenager getting with the person that is over 100 doesn't make sense? Surely they are at the same maturity level and wisdom level, and surely that hasn't been an ongoing issue throughout the previous 3 books.

Him not getting with Arya was fine but reading it 12 years ago it felt like he pulled a Luke Skywalker.
