really liked it

I have always heard a lot about the Inheritance series. It seems to be one of those series that gets recommended all the time for Middle Grade readers. It was published well after my time, however, so I never got to it.

When the audiobook for Eragon became available through my library, I decided to give it a shot. Better late than never.



I am happy to report, I really enjoyed it and am glad I took the time to read it.



The narrator was a hoot! He created so many distinct voices for the many different characters.

His voice for Sephira, the dragon cracked me up. It was so goofy, but in a really endearing way.



This Middle Grade tale weaves together many classic Fantasy elements, such as magic, dragon lore, a quest and plenty of action.

Reading some of the reviews, it appears some people thought it was a cliched version of Lord of the Rings. I didn't really get that feeling from it.



I mean, sure, lots of Fantasy is inspired from what came before, but I would hardly consider it a copycat version.

So, if you have heard that, I wouldn't let it dissuade you from picking it up to try for yourself.



I'm not sure if I will end up continuing with the series or not, but a part of me wants to. I am sure, like with many series, the story continues to get better and better.

Theodora I'm glad you liked it! That's actually the book that got me into reading when I was 11, so it's always nice to see people enjoying it after all this time.

I love hearing the books that got people into reading. I'm sure you have read the entire series, should I continue?

I only read the first three books because too many years had passed by the time the fourth one came out and I didn't remember any details to go on with the series, but I had really enjoyed them at the time! I'd suggest you at least tried the second book!
