So, what do you all think of Eragon and Eldest? What do you think will happen in the rest of the series? Since the author isn't particularly popular, I assume at least a few of you don't like him. What annoys you most about the books?
I personally, think that Eragon was ok, while Eldest fell flat on its face, fell in a hole, and only managed to climb part of the way out by putting a good ending on the book. That being said, I am still going to read Brisingr, not because I want to, or even because I care how the story ends, but so I can find out what happens to Murtagh.
I think the thing that annoys me the most is the author's lack of morality. All of his characters have pretty much the same level of morals, seemingly because that's all the author has. Every character is selfish and obnoxious. I nearly died when I watched an interview with the author in which he states that while writing Brisingr, Eragon ran into an unexpected "moral dilemma" that took nearly 100 pages to solve, thereby contributing to the trilogy becoming a cycle. I didn't know Eragon had enough morals to have dilemmas!
Ok, I think I'm done ranting for the moment. Maybe I'm being overly harsh. Feel free to disagree with me.
