- The Inheritance series was a beloved book series that captured the hearts of audiences with its epic tales of a farm boy who discovers a dragon egg and becomes a dragon rider. The series was written by Christopher Paolini, who was just 15 years old when he began writing the first book. We will explore what happened to Eragon and what the future might hold for this beloved fantasy world.

Anyone who says his books are a rip off apparently never heard of the monomyth and the hero with a thousand faces. These were fun books to read and writing a book at any age is hard. The world would be a sadder place without them.
"Paolini devoted extensive research to this linguistic endeavour" HA, that's funny. No, Paolini demonstrably did almost no research into linguistics. The extent of his linguistic failure in the Ancient Language has been extensively documented in various blog posts and videos, but suffice to say his linguistics knowledge was (up until the time he wrote Brisingr) no better than early high school level at best. There are many similarly incorrect statements in this video, which I find to be biased in Paolini's favour.
Paolini said long ago, the prophecy never stated that the FIRST time Eragon left he wouldn’t come back. Only that, at some point, he will leave and not return.
I don't know what you're talking about. That film is timeless. "I suffer without my stone........do not prolong my suffering." 🤣
"with so much spectacle and awesome dragon fights" The dragons in the series barely do anything. There are exactly two (2) dragon fights in the four books, and the second one doesn't even involve the main dragon character, Saphira. For 90% of the books, Saphira is just in the background acting as a shiny taxi service and occasionally saying something "witty" or "wise".
Bro you lost me when you started hating on Roran. He kinda carries the series at times.
The ending of the book series was terrible. Give every race a dragon; give every grace a nuc! The movie was awful
I won’t take the Roran slander! I actually found myself excited to read the Roran chapters in Eldest and grew bored of Eragons training chapters. But I can see how others would feel differently
Quartet is technically correct, but Paolini calls it the Inheritance Cycle. Looking forward to Murtagh and one of the short stories in the fork, the witch, and the worm seems to be a lead in to murtagh's upcoming story. Lastly... the way you pronounce Paolini is off and a bit jarring... but good video otherwise
I was never a fan of Eragon, mainly because the first books are a copy paste of the Star Wars original trilogy and because I already reed fantasy stories with a similar world building. Many fantasy books deserve more the praise Eragon got, but some of them are condamned to stay underrated because they have a female protagonist and teenage boys are afraid of series with a female protagonist
Hi all,
Regarding the final confrontation: did you know that Paolini ripped the entire throne room scene directly out of Magician's Gambit, by David Eddings? Almost point for point, INCLUDING the swordfight, the two random children who turn up out of nowhere and then disappear because Paolini forgot they were there, and worst of all, the "be not!" spell which destroys the castle. Beat for beat, taken directly from Eddings and rewritten in his own words and with the names changed.
The Roran scenes were the best part in the second book in my opinion.
If you do a Percy Jackson and Prydain episode you will have pretty much captured my childhood with the Inheritance and Redwall videos lol.
Bit late to the party, but i got the recommendation now so whatever i suppose. I always thought the parts with the "extremely average cousin" were honestly some of the better writing in the series. Haven't read the series in a good while since you know being an adult these days but those parts always struck me as more grounded, dark and brutal (since he was just a regular old Joe) than whatever Eragon was doing. A bit of grim to spice things up so to speak.
I’m pretty sure he meant Pow Lee Knee and not Puh low knee. Suh fee ruh not Suh fee ree uh.
I was a fan of these growing up. I got the first one in like 4th grade entirely because of the cover art and I got the rest as they came out. Unfortunately Inheritance came out when I was finishing up high school and so I reread the series for it and as I did the holes in it got bigger and I was just extremely bored of Inheritance and came out of the book frustrated because I called essentially every single beat 100 pages early and it was so bloated for no reason other than "Well the other books are 600 page monstrosities so this one has to be too". I have not partaken in the subsequent media from the franchise because of that but this video makes me want to hunt down the audiobooks to listen to while I game or travel. I do have a friend who is still super into the series though.
Great work! Please do a murtagh video for the new book!!
As excited as i am for Eragon to being remade on Disney+ i am also skeptical and keeping my distance from Disney given their track record of flops and failures over the years. But who knows, it may be pushed out by a team that won't cram the woke message nonsense down our throats or Paolini may have control over it were it won't be pushed to have those narratives. not trying to start anything political here I'm just saying that given Disney's record I'm kind of on the fence here as Disney has taken good things and made them bad while aggressively pushing a woke narrative.
Game on pc is so awesome. Playing hours and with friends 😊
