PROLOGUE: SHADE OF FEAR
I'm rereading this series for the first time since High School. I finished it as an adult, but have not had the chance to revisit it since most of my collection is mia, and Inheritance is permanently gone. I look forward to adventuring in Alegasia once more.
and the Urgals shrank back, motionless.
The moved without moving🤣 sorry!!! I love you Paolini!! My book will never garner the favor yours has!
Was it sent here by accident, or am I meant to have it?
Both 🤣
butcher Sloan.
Ahhhh Sloan... here begins that drama.
Take your sorcerer’s stone elsewhere.”
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
“Not selling to me would be a very bad idea,” stated Horst.
Yes, daddy.
If he wants to play this game, so be it, but if he thinks to beat me, he’s in for a surprise.
Oh the ìrony
“Brisingr!” he swore angrily, striking the flint again. Flames suddenly appeared, and he stepped back with a pleased expression. “There we go. It must have been smoldering inside.”
Mmmmhmm.... likely story Brom 😅
“Why is everything green?” asked Eragon. “Don’t they have winter here?” “Yes, but the season is mild. Mist and fog roll in from the sea and keep everything alive. Some find it to their liking, but to me it’s dreary and depressing.”
If anything happens, I’m going to pin you to my back and never let you off. I love you too. Then I will bind you all the tighter.
Awww
like it here, though. When it’s not raining, Teirm is really quite beautiful.”
Lies, an ocean city is always pretties with the rain
THE WITCH AND THE WERECAT
Yay!! I've been waiting for this chapter!!!
“Here the wandering path, lightning bolt, and sailing ship all lie together—a pattern I’ve never seen, only heard of. The wandering path shows that there are many choices in your future, some of which you face even now. I see great battles raging around you, some of them fought for your sake. I see the mighty powers of this land struggling to control your will and destiny. Countless possible futures await you—all of them filled with blood and conflict—but only one will bring you happiness and peace. Beware of losing your way, for you are one of the few who are truly free to choose their own

So crazy to read this now after completing the series prior
“And yet, as if to counteract that, here is the lightning bolt. It is a terrible omen. There is a doom upon you, but of what sort I know not. Part of it lies in a death—one that rapidly approaches and will cause you much grief. But the rest awaits in a great journey. Look closely at this bone. You can see how its end rests on that of the sailing ship. That is impossible to misunderstand. Your fate will be to leave this land forever. Where you will end up I know not, but you will never again stand in Alagaësia. This is inescapable. It will come to pass even if you try to avoid it.”
Brom 😭😭😭😭 an d the finale! Ugh. Paolini had it all set up from the beginning and it's crazy!
“An epic romance is in your future, extraordinary, as the moon indicates—for that is a magical symbol—and strong enough to outlast empires. I cannot say if this passion will end happily, but your love is of noble birth and heritage. She is powerful, wise, and beautiful beyond compare.”
Arya!!! 💚💚💚💚💚
but betrayal is clear. And it will come from within your family.” “Roran wouldn’t do that!” objected Eragon abruptly.
Not Roran but another, closer in blood
Listen closely and I will tell you two things. When the time comes and you need a weapon, look under the roots of the Menoa tree. Then, when all seems lost and your power is insufficient, go to the Rock of Kuthian and speak your name to open the Vault of Souls

He saw a young woman, bent over by sorrow, chained in a cold, hard cell. A beam of moonlight shone through a barred window set high in the wall and fell on her face. A single tear rolled down her cheek, like a liquid diamond
🥰😁🥰😁🥰😁🥰😁
“I see it coming, but not for a while.”
A short while.....
“Brom yanked his sword out of the ground and stomped to the fire. He took a rag from inside his robe and angrily began to clean the blade.
Woops. Typo. That quotation mark is wrong
Fantastic beasts
Nicd plug here. The first one is amazing!!
While Murtagh fixed the meal, Eragon wondered who this stranger was.
I know i know i know!! He who is prophcied!
Then contentment spread across the old man’s face, and a whisper of breath escaped his lips. And so it was that Brom the storyteller died.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
After all, he was on a bed; what else was he going to do?
This exactly what jail is like lol
“Glad to be of some use,”
Oh my poor heart. These two could have been such a team!!!! Paolini, master of heartbreak.
Are there men up there? There were, but no more. Are you ready?
Sassy Saphira 😜😜😜😜
It was more than that, though. There was a bond between them now, welded in the brotherhood of battle
Oh just you wait.
And I don’t even have the dubious honor of being a Rider like you.
.... yet
For all she knew, Eragon believed himself to be her friend, making the statement true for him, though she might not consider him one. The
I love the magic system in these books.
“Behold!” cried Eragon over the furor, “I am a Rider!”
Behold! Extra cheese!! 🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀
Eragon shoved his face into Murtagh’s. “It was still the wrong thing to do.” He lashed Arya to Saphira, then climbed onto Snowfire. “Let’s go.” Murtagh guided Tornac around Torkenbrand’s prone form in the bloodstained dust.
And thus the Crack forms.....
“My parents met in a small village—I never learned where—while
Plot convenience. We can't go revealing everything about him in the first book 😁😁😁😁
until my mother became pregnant.”
Not just your mother
As soon as he departed, my mother, who had been left behind, vanished. No one knows where she went, or why.
I know why 🤣
Eragon entered an elegant, two-story study paneled with rows of cedar bookshelves. A wrought-iron staircase wound up to a small balcony with two chairs and a reading table.
Dreams are made of this
Don’t speak flippantly or without thought, because your words will have impact far beyond what you intend.”
Immediately curses a baby on accident.
I feel as if I am living in an illusion, a dream where all things are possible. Amazing things do happen, I know, but always to someone else, always in some far-off place and time. But I found your egg, was tutored by a Rider, and dueled a Shade—those can’t be the actions of the farm boy I am, or was.
Inposter syndrome is a bitch....
He loved a woman, but it was his affection that was her undoing. And
How did i forget about that omg!!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭
and
“You know, I find this imprisonment oddly peaceful. For once in my life I don’t have to be afraid. I know I ought to be
Legit me in jail.
Murtagh laughed harshly. “Yes. Now you’re just like me.”
Well yeah.
“Well then, that must mean we’ll have a safe journey, else you’d be with us.”
Sassy Eragon 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
“Wyrda!”
Fate.
“Catch it with magic,”
🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
“Barges? We don’t want no stinking barges!”
I see what you did there, mr. Paolini 😜
He felt as if he were not inventing his tale, but merely acting as a conduit to transport it fully formed into the world.
Yes.
He remembered spinning in circles while holding the hands of an elf-maid with cherry lips, the taste of honey on his tongue and the smell of juniper in the air.…

Letting her smile become sweet and warm, Nasuada said in her friendliest tone, “Oh dear. If it’s too much of a burden for your treasury, the Varden would be more than willing to offer you a loan in return for the kindness you’ve shown us … at a suitable rate of interest, of course.”
😅😅😅😅 get it girl! Nasuada is QUEEN up in here!!!
