"Christopher Paolini is a true rarity." —The Washington Post
When fifteen-year-old Eragon finds a polished blue stone in the forest, he thinks it is the lucky discovery of a poor farm boy. But when the stone brings a dragon hatchling, Eragon soon realizes he has stumbled upon a legacy nearly as old as the Empire itself.
Overnight his simple life is shattered, and, gifted with only an ancient sword, a loyal dragon, and sage advice from an old storyteller, Eragon is soon swept into a dangerous tapestry of magic, glory, and power. Now his choices could save—or destroy—the Empire.

I loved the early part about raising the dragon, but I lost interest in all the politics and warfare between the races. I listened to the audiobook version, and the narrator, Gerard Doyle, was a fantastic choice, as he is for most books in this genre. I didn't find the story derivative, as others have claimed, but I did find it to be too long. It lost its sparkle about midway through and would've been helped by a much more attentive editor.
This is probably my favorite fantasy epic. It has a mix of classical fantasy tropes alongside new concepts of magic of the authors making. Reading Eragon's development and growth alongside Sapphira is a magical experience. The entire cast of characters feels well written and fully flushed out. There's a lot of excellent development with those characters as well. The entire series is well worth the read. I first read it when I was between 10-13, then I reread it as a 26 year old and it still held up. It is suitable for an audience both younger and older. I love books with dragons and people riding them!
