      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.

        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.

            “Thanks for the help, good luck cleaning up this mess”

          That’s just how Pasolini writes books and I myself am perfectly fine with that, but I get that the end is not popular with some.

          Galbatorix death created an unfillable power vacuum mortal non-mage Nasuada can only substitute to some degree. Eragon cannot really fight for the next 40 years or so for Nasuada - he has a duty to Saphira and all dragonkind.

              I use sync and it marks the spoiler for the “massive spoiler” and anything after that is not marked. I can also have app issues because it has quite low ratting there

              Edit: Just downloaded voyager, it’s a client issues
