Eldest: OH GOOD GRIEF!!!!!

[meganbmoore]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, I made it through Eragon accidentally CURSING AN INFANT TO LEAD A HORRIBLE LIFE and not even warranting a slap on the wrist with it "oh, well that was bad of you...here, let me teach you to speak the language properly so you won't have further goofs" and then having it passed off as a good thing(sadly, before they changed it to a good thing, I was thinking that couldresult in a good story 16 or so years later...)

But now?

Well, I was going to try to post it word for word, but I started gagging.  Basically, Eragon's oh so convenient "destiny" that makes him capable at everything and the perfect hero has now made him  absurdly pretty, but still manly enough that he can't be called pretty.

*gags*

Behold Eragon, the ultimate Gary Stu.

Everyone be happy that I did not have internet access the first 400 pages.

Murtagh, please show up and break his nose...

Novik is very, very good.

Eragon himself is simply one of the least likable "heroes" ever...and honestly, he's not even very heroic.

The whole trilogy is the kind of book you send to a publisher and get sent back as rejected...by every publisher out there. Then you try again for a few year until something WORTHWHILE is sent off...then a few novel later, you come back to your original creation, take whatever is good in there, and then thank whatever you worship that the thing as a whole was rejected. Sadly, I guess the publisher wanted to capitalize on Paolini's age.
