Here's a deep dive into the entire world of Alagaësia! Looking at the author's young start, self-publishing journey, and the growth in quality this series has seen.
I'll look into how Eragon is incredibly similar to Star Wars, and how that's not exactly a bad thing. We'll discuss how Eragon holds up in re-reads years later and it's surprising maturity. And of course, let's talk about the new book, Murtagh!
