A review by bookmeanderings
Eldest by Christopher Paolini

4.0

I absolutely loved this series. I have seen a lot of negative reviews and most of them have mentioned star wars or Lord of the rings and called the book plagiaristic. The people who say that don't seem to know much about authors. I would say about 99% of authors are not the most original. It doesn't mean that their writing isn't good. It just means the other 1% are visionaries which is why we regard them so highly. People like J.R.R. Tolkien and George Lucas. So no, the Inheritance cycle is not terrible. It is a well written, well balanced book that uses some of the themes of previous great authors.
