Another year and another re-read of the series, I love this series and reread the series in preparation for the release of the 20th-anniversary edition of Eragon and also Murtagh in November. From this book we start getting multiple viewpoints, along with Eragon we get Roran's viewpoint and a little bit from Nasuada. This re-read increased the rating of the book for me and I thoroughly enjoyed my time so far, last time I ended up reading the series very quickly (4 days) but this time around I am taking it a little slow but even though I would finish the series way before the books are released but it would be fresher in my mind as I read this series last 3 years ago, funnily around the same time.

2nd Reread

So I am re-reading the entire Inheritance cycle and I am glad for it because in more than 10 years since I read this series originally I had forgotten almost everything about it. Rereading this series is so much fun that I was able to read this 700+ pages book in little more than 3 days and that too with Job and youtube and all. So while Eragon was yes derivative but it was a nice effort from a teenager and this one is better than the first part because it uses fewer tropes perchance but Alas! I could never rate this thing down, after all, it's due to this series being responsible to bring me out of my quarantine-formed reading slump. I mean I was reading but barely 50 or so pages here and there not like this series where I read 3-4 hours in a row completing 150 or more pages.

1st Read

The second book in the Inheritance series and again full of magic and adventure, more dragons, and more action everything is better.

Now let's come to the story, following the events from the first book, Eragon travels to the Elves' country for his training. Another thing that changed here was that no longer there only one viewpoint but rather this time around there were 3 viewpoints Eragon's, Roran's, and Nasuada's. In the elve country, Eragon finds a secret kept by Elves, another Rider but both Dragon and Rider have been rendered broken. Thus Eragon's training begins and it was nice reading about both Eragon's and Saphira's training. On the other hand, The Ra'zac attack Carvahall and kidnap Katrina which forces Roran to migrate with the entire village to Surda, which makes for wonderful Roran chapters.

And of course, there's the perpetual danger of attack from the enemy and when Eragon finally reaches the Vardan then the fight begins. Here the story moves towards the closure and now we would move to the 3rd book in the series and Reread and then the 4th and then the short stories collection.

People who don't read generally ask me my reasons for reading. Simply put I just love reading and so to that end, I have made it my motto to just Keep on Reading. I love to read everything except for Self Help books but even those once in a while. I read almost all the genres but YA, Fantasy, Biographies are the most. My favorite series is, of course, Harry Potter but then there are many more books that I just adore. I have bookcases filled with books that are waiting to be read so can't stay and spend more time on this review, so remember I loved reading this and love reading more, you should also read what you love and then just Keep on Reading. ...more "
