Eragon shaped so much of my love of fantasy books and, later, my own writing.
The main characters learn and grow; they have flaws. And the book has real stakes.
My one complaint is that Arya's character is kinda flat, but she did spend most of the book unconscious, so I'll give her a pass for now.

Even though I remembered it as a 5-star read from when I was younger, I might have exaggerated slightly at that time. It's pretty slow and Eragon still feels like a kid, but the story was still good. It is/was a great first book with great potential for the next one.
Adventures and wars with dragons and elves, what more do we need?
