Eragon was not a great book. It was a decent premise, the characters and story had potential. Given it was written by a teenager, it’s very impressive.
But Mr Paolini must look back on it and cringe so bad. I’d actually like him to go back and reboot it now as a mature author.
Eragon never got a movie.
Atla never got a movie
These things are true.

I mean are you judging it as the target market?
It was a young adult book. I refer to it as baby’s first high fantasy.
Do 8-12 year old boys that will love super long high fantasy later in life probably still love it? I would bet money.
But of course as adults we look down on the young adult book. Basically all young adult books seem not well made as adults.
I know a handful of exceptions, but they stand out in my head as remarkable because they were exceptions.
