Good books, not so great movie. Oh well. (Not Twilight)

Okay, so first of all, just to get this out of the way, this has nothing to do with Twilight. I'm actually talking about Eragon and more specifically, the rest of the Inheritance series. I liked the first two books. The third book was definitely my least favorite one of the three and felt repetitive. If it weren't for the repetitive feeling and what felt like flashbacks, I probably wouldn't have had a problem with the book. In fact, it might have come close to being my favorite book. The only problem was that it came out so late. It left me hanging for too long and my interest faded in it somewhat which resulted in it taking a while for the book to be read.

But anyway, Eragon was favorite of the three books. I know, I know, its the first book, but acutally that has nothing to do with why I like the book. I not only had a hard time putting it down, but I had to re-read it because it had reached the top of my favorites list at the time. Honestly, I moved on to better books after that. But anyway, I actually had a favorite part of the book and that was Eragon's capture. I mean the one when the Shade had captured him and held him in the same prison as Arya (who is still my favorite character). I found that his conversation between himself and the Shade was both amusing and ironic and then the fight that ensued shortly after was also pretty good.

Over all, I just liked the book. I don't really need a reason to argue why so I'm not going to continue arguing it. But I did also like Eldest, the second book. I liked a lot of what happened then too like Eragon's training, his return to the Varden, and the discovery of what happened to his brother Mortag and who the last dragon rider is. I didn't have a particularly favorite part of the book but that's alright. It was still a pretty good book.

As for the last book, well, I already gave my opinion on it so I'm not really going to comment anymore as to the content of the book. I don't really remember much more than Eragon getting revenge and saving Sloan and his brothers wife (I think).

So anyway, that's what I have to say on the matter. Over all, a good series and hopefully the next book will be good too. So...yeah.
