Don’t miss the eagerly anticipated epic new fantasy from Christopher Paolini—Murtagh, coming 11.7.23!
A new adventure hatches in Book One of the Inheritance Cycle, perfect for fans of Lord of the Rings! This New York Times bestselling series has sold over 40 million copies and is an international fantasy sensation.
"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.

Twelve-year-old Percy Jackson is about to be kicked out of boarding school...again. No matter how hard he tries, he can't seem to stay out of trouble. But can he really be expected to stand by and watch while a bully picks on his scrawny best friend? Or not defend himself against his pre-algebra teacher when she turns into a monster and tries to kill him? Of course, no one believes Percy about the monster incident; he's not even sure he believes himself.

What the critics say
"It's an impressive start to a writing career that's sure to flourish." (Booklist)
"Doyle's range of accents is perfect for the multiple characters of this epic....On paper Eragon is a sprawling fantasy, filled with obvious nods to Tolkien and too many convenient plot devices. But on audio, it fills the ears with vivid characters, witty dialogue, and nail-biting battle scenes set in a magical world where a beautiful blue dragon and her rider are at the noble center of it all." (AudioFile)
"An impressive epic fantasy." (Publishers Weekly)

Engaging Read
Christopher Paolini's entry into the Inheritance series is a bright reminder of a favourite read of my youth. The detail is wonderful, and easy to watch the progressive personal growth of Eragon throughout this book --- and a stark difference between this first book and the last book of the series (when rereading).

All titles I've enjoyed
My first and only review (I just want to enjoy the books. lol) hundreds of books I've enjoyed with Audible, later. I have completely enjoyed this book (both actually reading it and listening to it told) as I have with others I've fully 🌟 'd. The author birthed and gave life to this epic story. The narrator masterfully drew me in and helped me mentally see and emotionally experience the story. Who doesn't like a story read to them?

love the book and decent narrator
good book, narrator is great except I didn't like Saphira and solembum's voice. there's also a really dorky moment when a character shouts "I AM DURZA!" except the shout was done under his throat. kinda a fake reaction scream while attempting to keep quiet while your GF watches her stories in the room next door lol.

Yoda Saphira
Always loved the story. But the voice work seemed cheaply done. Should have had a female voice for saphira. Not this growly yoda voice that verges into full yoda. Once you hear it you can’t unhear it.

good story, unique reading.
it was a struggle to get into the reading style, but doable and enjoyable once you do, however I freakin hate saphiras voice and almost quit multiple times because of it. It never gets better and ruins a huge part of the story.

Wasn't a Fan of Saphiras voice
fantastic story/storytelling, but for how often I listen to Gerard speak as Saphira, it's just a bit raspy and not great listening to it. But... tolerable for the sake of the story.
