I hold Cheong for a moment longer, then step back.
“Mina.” Shin waits, holding one hand out toward me.
I take it, and with a smile, I tell him, “Let‘s go home.”

so-so…Eragon with the elves was starting to piss me off LOL. I wish Arya could say “hey no, this age gap is weird, we can‘t date” and Eragon would respect that? I get that he‘s legit 17 but damn. No means no, and having to apologize TWICE in the same book with the same lame excuses is just…brother. I kept it pushing, though, bc I liked seeing Roran mature, and checking in with Nassuada. Also, Murtagh. :) I‘m a Murtagh girlie thru and thru.

pickReread to finally finish a series I started in middle school! To my defense, I read the first three in a month and then years later the rest were published 😜 it‘s enjoyable to see what I loved a kid, and I‘m excited to see how the author‘s writing grows in the later books too!

This is a typical Hero's journey with all the usual tropes you'd expect. Nothing earth shattering or different. Still I enjoyed visiting the world of Alagaësia and getting to meet all the characters. I'm intrigued to see where the series will take me.
I have my suspicions and would like to confirm them.
I'm about halfway through this chunkster. Although I find the main group of characters likable, I reiterate my observation from a previous post that this book could have been trimmed significantly, which would have made the plot much more riveting. The author tends to glide through her fantasy world much too slowly. I will certainly read to the end. But whether I continue reading the series is very much up in the air.

pickI read this for Bookwyrms Book Club, my newly-minted fantasy book club for kids at the library. It‘s based on “The Reluctant Dragon”, a short story by Kenneth Grahame (which, admittedly, I‘ve never read). It was super sweet — basically “Ferdinand” made mythical, about a cultured & sensitive dragon who would rather read, paint watercolors, play the piano, eat creme brûlée, and put on plays than fight. The kids all loved it! ??
WHAT?! HOW?! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
