This is one book I never read when I was younger and I wish I had gotten to it sooner. This does have some flaws I will admit but I quite enjoyed this and look forward to continuing with the series.
The most noticeable flaw to me was the pacing at points but after you get idk I think it was maybe 25-30% of the way in you start to care about the characters and don’t mind it that much at least in my case.
The voice that was done in the audiobook for Saphira was interesting to say the least. But, I quite enjoyed it beyond that though.
Bumped up my rating by .5 I just can’t stop thinking about this book.

Well, shit. I wish I read this sooner. Also, I 100% get why a lot of people see this as queer coded.

I have up to the fourth volume checked out from the library so I will continue at least up until that point but I sadly didn’t care much for the story and some of the art confused me in parts.

Better than the first book but I can’t wait until I’m done with this series so I can check it off.

I watched the movies probably hundreds of times before I read this and can I just say this made me love the movies even more. Like I loved the movies before to the point where for an entire summer almost all I watched were The Hobbit movies and LOTR on repeat for three months and then named my dog Frodo.
This is the type of book that I want to read out in the woods next to a river on a summer day. And honestly I completely plan to buy the mass market leather bound editions to do that this summer because this is just such a comforting read and it deserves that. I already own this series in the movie editions but those mass market editions just fit the vibes of this book so much. Anyways, this wasn’t a surprise that I loved this so much and I can’t wait to read LOTR.
I personally didn’t care much for the audiobook narrated by Rob Inglis though. It wasn’t bad just not for me.
This isn’t bad I just went into this thinking it had one element that it doesn’t actually have and that was the reason I was interested in this book.
