"Absolutely fantastic book. Paolini does an amazing job at drawing the reader into a brand new world, never discovered before, and makes you feel like you’ve been there all your life. Relatable characters, and despite not being able to relate to the experience, Paolini’s writing pulls you in and makes you feel like you’ve lived through everything he writes about."
