Eragon (The Inheritance Cycle #1) by Christopher Paolini -- Restarting April 1st 2025

[Maddie]

Because I'm only reading based on updates, so if you don't update, I don't read XD

[Tavia]

Updates meaning just my thoughts or commentary on the chapters right?

[Maddie]

Yup :)

[Tavia]

I like how the book has pronunciation guides and definitions and for some of the words from the languages in the book

[Tavia]

Chapter Name: Discovery - (view spoiler)[Well Eragon found the stone (hide spoiler)]

[Tavia]

Palancar Valley: (view spoiler)[I probably wouldn't have accepted the stone either, so I can't disagree with Sloan (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

is that at the back or where?

thanks for starting!! I'll start today and read up to there

[Maddie]

how far through is that?

[Tavia]

Yes it's in the back. And those where the first 2 chapters, not counting the prologue

[Maddie]

oh sweet :) that all you've read so far?

I'll read those once I've finished Harry potter 1 today

[Tavia]

Yep. I'm almost done with Chapter 3. Had to take a break and upload a YouTube video

[Maddie]

Okay cool you going to update for every chapter?

are they long?

[Tavia]

Nope they're pretty short m, but they vary in pages. And I'm going to try and update after every chapter, but no promises

[Maddie]

Yeah no worries :) I'm watching tv now :/ spending time with bf before reading a little

[Tavia]

Aww have fun! I'm planning out my reading for the MMC, so I'll probably read more once I finish that

[Maddie]

planning mmc reads?? how?

I'm going to get behind in eragon I know haha

[Tavia]

I'm working on the Bookish Blocks Challenge now. And I'll just go through each box and list the book choices I want to read for that specific box based on the books on my bookshelf. That way I won't have to try to figure out what book I'm gonna read when the time comes, I'll already have the book picked out. And then I'll do the same for the Spelling Bee challenge

[Maddie]

Ah yeah that's a good idea xD I'll just make stuff fit as I go. I always do haha.

so after you've done that you'll read even faster?

[Tavia]

Hopefully

[Maddie]

hopefully not you mean xD fast enough

[Maddie]

Starting this one now. Should get caught up too. I'll read Chapter 3 too seeing as you said you were almost there.

I tried to remember the movie scene of the prologue, but I couldn't XD Got it mixed up with the Elves from LoTR

[Maddie]

Shantavia wrote: "Palancar Valley: [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[But weird how he's so angry with him. I'm pleased Eragon didn't have to settle for that tiny amount! And I wonder why Horst bought all of that stuff for them.. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

I'm a few pages into Chapter 3. Got to stop now. So I'll pick this one back up when you've posted more updates.

[Tavia]

Chapter 3: Dragon Tales - (view spoiler)[I wonder how Brom knows all of these stories. And I'm guessing it was Galbatorix in the prologue then. But why would he want to kill the Dragon Riders, when they were helping him? (hide spoiler)]

[Tavia]

Chapter 4: Fate's Gift - (view spoiler)[Yay the stone hatched! I'm glad we didn't have to wait long for it to hatch (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Alright got another 2 chapters to read. Picking this one up now. Thanks! Loving the updates.

Liking it so far?

[Tavia]

Yep it's going pretty good so far.

[Maddie]

Awesome :D Still just read the 4 chapters? I like your reading pace XD Isn't stressing me out yet.

[Tavia]

Chapter 5: Awakening - (view spoiler)[ So he named his dragon after him? That's unique. (hide spoiler)]

[Tavia]

That's probably all I'll read up to today

[Maddie]

Ah gotcha, that's good :p Gives me time to read my other books :p

[Maddie]

(view spoiler)[Maybe he's just gone crazy enough?

And I think it must have been. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Shantavia wrote: "Chapter 4: Fate's Gift - [spoilers removed]"

Gotta get the story started XD

[Maddie]

Shantavia wrote: "Chapter 5: Awakening - [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[How does Eragon just know what's happened to his mind, how he can communicate with the dragon?

And why is he giving it their food??? They were starving just the other day! I know Horst gave them food, but that's for the whole winter!

And I think it's the dragon talking to him, not him talking to the dragon. (hide spoiler)]

I feel like I need to reread the prologue now haha

[Shae]

Chapter 5 (view spoiler)[ I'm glad the dragon has hatched now and he called him eragon. I had in my head that the dragon would be called eragon before reading the book. And then when i started and found out the main character was called eragon I thought I would get confused haha. Names in fantasy books always end up confusing me.

I thought it was cool how he can talk to the dragon on his mind. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Yay you caught up :D

[Maddie]

So strange how neither of you know about Eragon XD It's interesting to see your thoughts.

[Tavia]

Chapter 6: Tea for Two - (view spoiler)[Another person named Eragon wow! I half expected Brom to realize that Eragon had a dragon. I wonder who Eragon's parents are. (hide spoiler)]

[Tavia]

Chapter 7: A Name Of Power - (view spoiler)[ Saphira seems to fit her well. I didn't expect her to be a she for some reason though. (hide spoiler)]

[Tavia]

Chapter 8: A Miller - To - Be - (view spoiler)[Aww Roran is leaving to work. It's good that he wants to gather up money for him to settle down with Katrina though. But it sucks that him and Eragon are having cousin problems. I think Eragon should tell his family about Saphira though (hide spoiler)]

[Tavia]

Chapter 9: Strangers in Carvahall - (view spoiler)[ Everytime I see the word "Carvahall" in here, it makes me want to say Caraval :P which I still have yet to read. But looks like Brom knows about the dragon, given that he saw the mark on Eragon's hand. And people are looking for Saphira which sucks (hide spoiler)]

[Tavia]

Chapter 10: Flight of Destiny - (view spoiler)[It sounds like Eragon got hurt pretty bad. And apparently Saphira know who's bad and who's not. I hope Garrow is unharmed (hide spoiler)]

[Soneika]

Already finished the series for 3 years now

[Tavia]

[Tavia]

Chapter 11: The Doom of Innocence - (view spoiler)[ Garrow is hurt now too and Brom has found Eragon. Brom looks a bit hurt as well (hide spoiler)]

[Soneika]

Soneika wrote: "Already finished the series for 3 years now"

Yes it was

[Tavia]

That's good. It's my first time reading the series, but I'm like it so far.

[Soneika]

my mom gave me the series and i enjoyed it to the maximum from the plot to the action
