Now, with the release of the new book in the series Inheritance, I’ve decided to reread the series to refresh my mind, before reading the conclusion of Eragon’s epic story. It was probably the first proper fantasy book I ever read. I got the book for Christmas that year and read it straight away. I was captivated by its amazing front cover with its beautiful blue hues, stylish gold typography, and incredibly detailed illustration that I was completely in awe of. I stumbled across it browsing in Waterstones when I was 11 years old. I remember so well the first time I saw this book. This has all the great elements of a traditional fantasy book. or to joyfully return.Overall Impression: A farm boy destined for greatness, ferocious dragons, powerful magic, and an evil King.
