#ERAGON 

Thanks for doing this!! So nice to get a brief recap before Murtagh.

Great recap man! Been looking everywhere for someone to recap the series before diving into Murtagh and it was surprisingly hard to find but you did a great job.

Omg. “He breaks their minds. He does that.” Is a hilarious line with how casual it is. Made me laugh out loud!

Haven't read these books since I was 13. I recently saw they made a new one. Looked up a recap for myself. Just listening too made me go order the first 4 books again. Thank you.

I personally remember Eragon's training with the most fondness and detail. I also remember quite liking the battle where Roran's weddimg was interrupted. The rest was mostly lost to a flightly memory, but thanks for the recap!

I think my favorite and the coolest part of the boats from me was when Eragon used the magic to strengthen and thicken the bones in his hand. I don’t know why, but that will always be a core memory.

The first four books feels like a DnD campaign. I loved the way the books were broken up into different perspectives. We get to follow Eragon, Roran, Nasuada, Arya, which helps break up the long descriptions and keeps the pace moving. My favorite parts were the scenes with Murtaugh and Nasuada in inheritance but I also thought dwarf politics were cool too. So I guess my favorite part is the last half of brisinger and the first half of inheritance.

I felt like I was listening to my friend go into an honest deep dive about a series they liked as a young adult. It was very refreshing! In a world where content is saturated with extreme inflection by internet influencers and crowd pleasers, I felt that your review was to the point with minor bunny trails (which is honestly amazing at 0230). Thank you! I'm ready for the next book!

I think the part about Roran creating a literal wall of bodies with nothing but a hammer sparked my love for hammer/ blunt weapons in video games. One thing that was different and absolutely stood out to me was when Eragon used magic to create large calluses on his hands so he’d stop breaking or injuring his hands while fighting.

Wonderful recap, just started murtagh and really needed this. Thank you so much 👌🏻👌🏻

These books helped me through a crazy dark time in my life. Idk what I would have done without them. I cherish them

Thanks, this is exactly what I was looking for. Got my book in the mail today.

Thank you! Just what I was looking for. Now I can go back to the world of inheritance. It's time to take Murtagh off the shelf.

thank you! its been a decade since ive read these so i needed this!

It's been so long, I really appreciate this. This still holds a special place in my heart, yeah it's somewhat flawed but I still love this series.

Thanks for the recap. Much easier to listen to someone compile the notes while I drive, rather then digging it up myself.

This was exactly what I needed. Thank you! 🎉

I really enjoyed Eragon when I was young in middle school but didn't read Eldest until years later. I think you identified the pace in Eldest pretty well where we would go through Eragon and his training with Oromis which was a much calmer tone and then we would transition to Roran and the village's struggle for survival which was fast-paced, exciting, and full of danger. I liked how the author structured that. Maybe I should pick up Murtagh...

This is awesome. Thanks!

I love how the train whistle in the background sounded just as Eregon is leaving Alegasia.

Brilliant summary, just what I needed!

I remember personally like these books more than the Harry Potter series back in the day. Wish they had the budget to do the movie better.

Thank you!

murtagh and eragon being brothers didnt get retconned, they just led you to believe they had the same dad until they later reveal that eragon's dad is brom

My guy here coming in clutch with this one!!!

Thank you for the over view! You reminded me of several aspects that I have forgotten over the years. I knew I would since it has been a long time had reading the Inheritance installments, but I really did not want to read them again to prepare for the Murtagh release.

“It’s called PCP” 😂 thank you so much for making this video! I’m excited to read the new book but couldn’t deal with rereading 4 whole books in preparation, so thank you 🙏

"Little NOT Gimli is going with Eragon to Dagobah" 😂

Great explanation! I've read the Eragon series a few times however many many years ago. I was about to reread them again for the new book, but your video saved me and now I can go ahead and read the new book directly after watching your video. 🙏🏼

You da man! Perfect recap before I read Murtagh

Thanks!

Damn, I just finished Murtagh but I'm watching this video still!

Just bought murtagh, this video is a blessing!

Murtagh might be my favorite next to Eldest, some ppl complained about how slow the beginning was but don't realize CP had to set up a story from a difficult character to work with

Haha great summary! I love how far fetched some things seem if you summarize and skip the build up. Ready for Murtagh now!

Thanks dude!

Insanely good series wish Warner bros would pick it up

Thanks so much, amazing summary! Murtagh is great so far, can really recommend it!

You were correct on “decimated” the first time. It’s to lose a tenth of your force.

This was definitely my favorite book series when I was younger and I am excited to read Murtagh. Although, I was PISSED when Eragon left and didn't get with Arya. I was so mad, I didn't read the last chapter or two after that. But I guess Im just a softie for that sort of thing. Thanks for the recap!

Very nice recap! I completely forgot Elva, she was creepy! I also remember that when he got the steel for the sward he had like a twinge or something. It seemed like the tree took something from him, but it was a lose end. Probably in Murthagh we'll know more about this.

Great recap! You forgot a couple key parts tho.... the one's that stick in my mind while writing this are the unknown price Eragon paid to get the metal from under the Menoa Tree and also the 7 words in the Ancient Language Brom told him before he died. Not a criticism or anything just feel like these would have been important in a recap.. thanks for rhe video 😊

Thanks for the summary. I read the first two when Eldest was new, and just never got around to reading Brisingir or Inheritance, and was curious how they ended. But seriously, that's how they ended? That's horrible lol so tropey and deus ex-y

Just finish the series today & absolutely love it! Even though the ending felt rush, overall the series is a good YA dragon rider story. Can't wait to read Murtagh.

Can anyone suggest where you could get audio book for "Murtagh" ?

Decimation means only a 10th remains.

perfect recap before diving into murtagh!! however i didn’t appreciate all of the slander hahaha

Nice video! I read these so long ago I didn't want to dig them out and re-read all 4. I can't believe how long it's been I basically gave up on there ever being more books lol

MY NON-SPOILERY REVIEW OF MURTAGH: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XuzRTIKzYUI.html

❤

Great recap. Hate how smug you were about the star wars comparisons when you weren't even the one who realized the similarities. Also who the ef uses a straw in a camp mug? All I have to do is not look at you and I love this video.

THERE IS A ANDREW LUCK JERSEY IN THE BACK AND IM IMMEDIETLY SUBSCRIBED

I understand that you were just reading from the wiki so I'm not gonna touch that. What I would like to suggest is that you edit out when you swallow. I understand that your reading and it's just something that happens when you're doing for a period of time. Wishing you the best in your future videos

murtagh and eragon being brothers didn't get retconned, it just got shown that their mother left because eragons father was brom.

Cool video . Book's out now looking to get my hand on it now

I dont know if retcon is the correct word for how the books went. Brom hints at Eragon getting more extensive training hinting at a rider's existence. Murtagh belueves he and Eragon to have the same father because that is generally how lineage is traced and Galbatorix saw the connection, but the hints were there from the first book that Brom was Eragon's father.

Decent recap of the series, could do without all the criticizing of my favorite series. Nothing wrong with pulling inspiration from other series as long as you don’t copy it entirely. 👍🏻

It's funny I think I either lost interest after finishing the second one or started the 3rd one and lost interest very quickly too

Yes, on the proper definition of decimation. However, apparently, many people use the word to mean 90% (or at least a whole bunch) are killed. I only found out that this wrong definition is so popular very recently.

Nice video! Sweet recap, but PLEASE fix the autofocus on your camera, it's driving me nuts!

Murtagh will be a full year after the events of A Fork a Witch and a Wyrm

Why is everyone always saying that everything copied Star Wars? Star Wars in and of it self is a copy of everything that George Lukas liked! It's also a basic Heros Journey and that has been around at least since the time of greek mythology😂 Eragon is also a Heros Journey and is inspired by a lot of older fantasy book series and that influence is also in Star Wars because that's just fantasy set in space! Yeah you can see a lot of different inspirations in Eragon ecpecially from Tolkien, all kinds of mythology and the Erdsea books as well and you can like that or not but don't say it's a rip off of Star Wars when Star Wars just copies a lot of different fantasy and since fiction stories themselves. Star Wars fans shouldn't act like there fandom is the most original of them all when it's just not. If you break it down every storie is just a repeat of other stories that have there been before that grew into their own worlds with time. Also keep in mind that the Author was very young when he wrote the first book so maybe give him some credit for writing a whole ass book at the age of 16 and then growing that into a very cohesive four book series with its own world building. No storie is perfect so don't look down on other peoples favorites. You can not like a thing and still not take the joy away from people who do.

Hey man, I know I’m just a random dude but I hope you hear me. I’m excited about the next book. I read them ages ago and had no idea a new one was coming. I also didn’t remember shit about them, past the story major anyway. I searched for a recap and several of them were styled as a podcast or angled at a single character. I chose this because it seemed straightforward. And objectively, it was. However, bro… my guy… it felt like you hated it the whole time. It was weird. I felt like my wife was spilling tea about someone. All kinds of exposition, but so much shade. If you wanted to critique, label it that. I went through the whole thing (I even liked it because I always try to help creators). But damn, it was so negative. If you don’t like them, don’t make a recap for people that might. Don’t yuck people’s yums. Unless it was expected, I guess. And you shit on lightbringer out of nowhere? Do you like any books? I don’t think you did a bad job of a recap. But I’d ask you to introspect about the negativity of the video. I’m going to read it. But that video did NOT motivate me to do it. If, perhaps, you had some positivity. Or even curiosity. You’d motivate people to read, then to come back to hear your thoughts. I’ll f*%k off now and leave you to your life. I just thought I’d try and push you in a more positive direction. Just for the videos. We are all depressed, go to therapy for that.

How dare you even mention the Eragon movie.

the recap skipped the ra'zac getting killed

you skipped a whole book 🤦

Thank you!
