Nothing is more dangerous than an enemy with nothing to lose, he thought. He travels far farther that he ever dreamed possible and experiences losses that will irrevocably change him. When a tragedy befalls Eragon's family, he sets off with Brom, a local storyteller, and Saphira on a quest for revenge.Īlong the way, he meets both friend and foe. it is an egg.Īnd while Saphira (his young dragon) is cute for the first few weeks.Soon, Eragon realizes that keeping a dragon, even a young one, is no easy task. Begrudgingly, Eragon takes it home only to discover, a few short days later, that the stone is not a stone. However, once folks find out it's from the Spine - they refuse to touch it. He loses sight of his prey but brings home the stone anyway figuring that he might sell it.
cannot separate all those happy memories So keep in mind, my review might be is more than a bit biased.Įragon, a farm boy, stumbles upon a suspicious blue stone while hunting in the Spine (an area that few would go to even in the best of times). It had dragons! And elves and magic and swordplay and not a love triangle in sight.Įven rereading it as an adult, I just. I read it over and over and over (and, as you may have guessed, over and over.). Having sold over 41 million copies across the four books, it was not surprising that fans have been making a move to get the first book remade to restart the franchise.Check out this book in my very first video review! Anyway, onwards to the review! I could read this one a hundred times and love it just the same. However, the book series has still remained popular.
The 20th Century Fox-produced movie adaptation of Eragon arrived in 2006, and despite having a cast including Jeremy Irons, Rachel Weisz, Joss Stone, Robert Carlyle and John Malkovich, the film was negatively received and only grossed $250 million from its reported $100 million budget. The success of the novel led to three further books being published between 20. According to reports in Variety, Eragon will be following in the footsteps of another young adult novel series, Percy Jackson and the Olympians, in finding a new lease of life at Disney after seeing its movie adaptation fail to please fans and the author the first time around.Īs the first book in The Inheritance Cycle, Eragon was originally self-published by Paolini in 2002, and was then published for mass-market a year later. Having previously hit the big screen as a much-derided movie, Christopher Paolini’s The Inheritance Cycle is getting another chance at success with the first book Eragon being developed as a Disney+ series.
