Spoilers ahead in the Book 3 review part.

Perfection at its best! Never too much or too little and never boring. A story well written and one of my absolute faveourites.

BOOK 1: 5.1
Wow! Jawdroppingly well written. Detailed perfection. Sastifaction. Wow!

BOOK 2: 4.8
Also jawdroppingly well written. Although it has a lot of mispelled words, even missing words, its a magnificent book. But that is the editors fault and not the author's. A few things, if u are a sensitive person, you wish were more elaborated on and explained at the time of the occurence, but you find out later on in a wave of the hand matter of way thats well performed, so you end up sastified anyway.

BOOK 3: 4.7 *

As the first 2, the last book is also a work of perfection. Although this one is highly predictable, and has many wording errors, its a journey you will love to be on.
The only thing that I didnt like, from a personal view, is the fact that you never find out what happened to her first horse Socks later on in the story. She saves him from cruelty and fear, and helps him to learn to trust humans again. They were finally a team, he had finally learned to trust her and love her, and they ride well together. But after her incident she could never get up on him again and was afraid. Then later when she is back to herself again and rides the Red Horse, you kind of expect, and hope, that she will eventaully return to him, if nothing else then to make sure he is happy and well. Yet you hear nothing at all about him after the Red Horse arives. Disapointing, and you're left hanging wondering about that, and a little hurt!

The ending, while its predictable, is superb and leaves you with a warm happy feeling. But it also leaves you hanging a little as to the fate of the Company. I expected her to take over and run the Company, but you never really find out what happened to it, other than logical gueswork and from previous hints. I wish she had added a few more pages telling the fate of those 2 things. That would have made it a sure 5 * for me!
It is still as well written as the first 2, and exiting to the very last page! No cliffhangers, yet you wish there was just a little bit more.

These books are original in everything from the names of people and things, to the story itself.
Its not a Tolkien copy, but it does have many of the same backgrounds (elves, orcs etc) and you can link to that other world. But its NOT a copycat story like many fear, this is completely her own take on that era, and with a whole other theme.
The amount of details of war torture gods and rightness is incredibly well written. I am not a fan of war and god stories, but this is something worth reading even if you're not religious and hate war and soldiery stuff.
Its unique and detailed to perfection, without there being too much clutter.
She has taken a world we all love and made it completely her own.
If you loved LotR these books is a must read.

I highly recommend any fantasy fans to read this classic, expecially women. Its a huge volume, but after about 10 pages you dont notice what page you're on anymore.

Despite the incredibly unique way of looking at magic and worlds that u can easily believe is true and real, the first book was bordering on boring. It wasnt boring but it was missing something. I couldnt identify with any of the characters, it felt like they had no real personality. It was still amazing to read through and I couldnt wait to read more of this new take on magic and how it all works.
This second book was much better, altho the first quarter or so is much the same as book 1. Halway in u start to get somewhere and it gets really interesting and exciting. There is finally a character with a personality, and the previous characters finally start to become something. It wasnt until the last quarter or so it had my heart beating in excitement and I cant wait to read book 3 now!
Sadly this second book has a lot of flaws. Both in spelling and 1 or 2 grammar errors, but it also has flaws in the time line of the story, that once u spot them, will annoy u endlessly as a reader. Particularly the last quarter of the book, when it starts to get really amazing, the editor forgets how to use the right past and present term words several times, such as become where it should have been became.
Because of all these flaws, in the last half/quarter of the book I give 4 stars instead of 5.
A series well worth reading with an amazing world, despite the poor editing!

As the previous 3 books, this book is geting on ur nerves. Theres not as much repetition in this one, but instead he finds 10 ways to say the same thing again and again, which is incredibly anoying. And then a character ask something about the subject and it gets ansered in yet another 10 ways. The book feels very short and lacking of details like we know it from the original series and should have been twice the size in pages with more relevant story or even passtime silly story while trevelling etc.
Some of the incidents, xplanations and excuses for why they cant do this or that is downright stupid, and makes little sense what we've seen they can do with magic in previous books. They should have been able to do this, or done that in some other way, yet he just says no they cant, to move the story along.
Some of the deaths were just bad. Predictable and anoying. Why so much needless dying just for the sake of adding action?! They should have had a lot more story, especially Caras, it just felt so rushed.
Where u see some things coming clearly ahead, and where u feel the characters should as well, he writes them off as dimwhitted and without memory of whats happened in the previous books!

But, Great book! Im so glad to get the end of this story now and I did enjoy them, tho not half as much as the first 11 books. That being said, PLS stop here. Pls dont write anymore to this story, these last 4 have been boring, rushed and disapointing compared to what we are used to. Let it be now, and let us remember this fantastic story in our hearts and minds from now on.
I highly recommend new readers to NOT read book 12-15. Stop after Confessor, it has a perfect and awsome ending, and has no need for any followup to end satisfactiory. They also have a lot of spelling errors, which is like a slap in the face when u read a book. What happened to quality in publishing? Pls hire better ppl to do the job with these things, and increase the deadlines.
I only finished them because I hate leaving something unfinished once Ive started, and I regret I didnt read reviews first. Im happy I finished them now, but the story ends here for me now, for good.

Spoilers. Loooove this story, its been a wonderful journey and Ive enjoyed all the books so much.
However, the ending is just bad. Theres way too many things not making proper sense, like Eragon just sitting down there healing small wounds after Galbatorix blew himself up, while Arya is up there in danger trying to save the last egg and the eldunari, with a tower falling down on her. Why the hell didnt he fly up there to aid her as soon as he had landed with the children, and to look properly for Blödgharn and the other elves?!?!? Its what he would have done, and did, all the previous times. It just didnt make any sense at all and just irritates the reader. And why would Nasuada suddenly bind all who has magic, its the same as Galbatorix did. Eragon should have made sure she never did that, it would only have been right from his standpoints, and he had the power to make sure of it. Yet he just grovels and complies like shes a god and says no and flies off?!? That, and the very end as well, seperating them like that, and not even having Murtagh join them so they wouldnt be so alone, or rebuilding Vroengard instead of this nonsense with them flying to the other end of the world, made the difference between 3 and 5 stars for me. Utterly disapointing and poor end to a fantastic story! But great overall and Im sad its over.

Despite the fact that this story is basically stolen from Stephenie Meyers Twilight and that 50 shades of Grey was originally a (very bad) Bella and Edward fanfic story, I loved the first book. Ive read it many times. It is however a copy of everything from the Twilight but with tiny changes and a more sexier twist. It is not an original, and I still feel slightly offended on Meyers behalf.

The second book is decent. Not great and not amazing, but decent. The thrill has gone a bit but we get to see a bit more story. It should have ended after this book, I regret reading the third now.

But this last book I simply cant recommend. There is so much thats wrong with it and its badly written. Halfway in I kept finding myself annoyed and angry. Ana is just too much of a pushover, and every time she wants to talk about things she caves in and they have sex. After a while I was so annoyed I didnt even want to read those scenes because there was just simply too much that needed to be told, discussed or talked about, for me to enjoy anything after that. This happen untill the end of the book. There is so much she wants to know and should be told and he is just being too much of a jerk and she caves in everytime. The sex scenes were skimmed through after the 100th time of this. I ended up not liking him at all.
Even though he talks a bit in the very end about things they should have settled long ago, it still wasnt nearly enough and she should definitly demand more from him, and stop giving in.

I kept waiitng for her to demand he rehire Prescott, which would have been the right thing to do and kind of asumed, but no. She lets him act like a jerk once more. After that I lost all love and respect for the two characters.

The whole inner goddess thing is annoying as hell.

Why does this book suddenly skip events? Now there are flashbacks instead, where before there were detailed events. Both confusing and again, annoying, the way its being written.

The epilogue I didnt care for, it was badly written.

The Christian POV preview I didnt like either. I dont need to know this story from his POV with the way he thinks, its way too filthy and I wont be able to love it. I have no doubt she will exploit the fans and make a Christian POV book version. I wont be reading those.

This book is 600 pages too long. Its nothing but smut, thers no real quality or love in it, as opposed to the first book. Its too frustrating and leaves you annoyed and you keep feeling something is missing.
I have read the original Twilight fanfic version of this story (Master of the Universe) and it was godawful. Even then it had nothing to do with Bella or Edward, just random smut with the same character names and basic storyline attached. But she did a good job changing it a bit and made it into Fifty Shades of Grey. It is however, still a stolen work imo.

The movie is decent, I like that they made it exactly like in the book, even most of the lines were exact. Thats rare. But I hope very much they will deviate from the third book when they make the third movie, its just too awful if they wont.

Read the first book, many times. Then go read the second book, once or twice. Avoid the third book like the plague itself.
