So. Eragon. Well...
Firstly I must make clear that my grammar is the shittiest thing you will read today- unless of course you think Eragon was worse. In that case I have nothing to say.
Anyway. This review isn't really going to be long because I read this book like 3 or 4 years ago and still think it's great, but not for the reasons you might spect so let's get started.
I absolutely loved it the first time I got it on my hands. I thought it was a good story (dragons, magic and an ancient language that held the true meaning of everything) and it was well written (Although I read a translation so I can't really say much about it), I also was pretty fond with the characters... So I enjoyed it a lot, we got it clear.
This was in fact THE book that introduced me into this world of words. It started it all. And I couldn't (or wouldn't want to) stop.
Everything was fine until I came here and saw the reviews. I knew the movie was awful (even though it lead me to the book) but I knew nothing about what were the people's thoughts on the book so after all those years I discovered this site and saw all this opinions and... I completely agreed with what they said. Things in its moment I ignored, now I notice and aren't exactly good. A bit of Gary Stu here, a drop of nonexistent character development there, and a teaspoon of tedious descriptions everywhere. (Go to the other reviews to have a deeper analysis).
So why the high score?
I think it was out of nostalgia.
Don't get me wrong I still think it's a fantastic book but I wouldn't say it is as incredible as I thought the first time.
