This book was just as good as I remembered it being when I was 12 and I read it for the first time but now that I am older I think I understand things better its also good that I really enjoy epic fantasy now more than I did then. I really loved the characters especially Eragon,Saphira and Murtagh I found all of them to be well written. What I liked about Eragon and Saphira what I liked about their bond between rider and dragon was it was not instant it took time but by the end they have the best bond that they could possibly have. I also just really liked Eragon he is the type of character I tend to like the tenacious and strong and never give up type I really enjoyed how he was written. What I liked about Murtagh was his strong will and his want to never be caged no matter the consequences. I really liked the plot it started slowly but did not stay slow paced for long after the egg was found the plot really picked up. I really liked everything about this book I am finally going to finish this series that I never finished so many years ago.
