Inheritance

• 1. Eragon (2003)

  [6/10]

  "Paolini's plot has good pacing, interesting highs and lows, and most importantly you like Eragon and care about what happens to him -- in spite of his stupid teenage blundering."

• 2. Eldest (2005)

  [7/10]

  "Eldest provides much easier reading than Eragon, but you still encounter some passages so clichéd that you groan out loud. Paolini's skill at storytelling encourages you to move quickly past the problems to find out what happens next."

  Average score: 6.50
