I read Eragon in 4 days. I read Eldest in a week. I never finished Brisingr, stopped reading halfway through. I was still gifted the fourth book, but I never touched it.

I'm still not sure if it's because the author lost touch and the first two books were genuinely good or if it's because the wait from book two to book three took so long that I stopped being a dumb child who read dumb books.

I remember enjoying Eragon because it seemed this cool self contained story. It starts off small and humble, lonely poor character hunting in the woods. It ramped up, but by the time I was reading the third book and noticed he was now literally fighting a horde of undead zombies... I just had to stop and ask what the fuck I was reading.

Anon, the first book is literally A New Hope. Eragon being a Star Wars rip-off does not start in the second book, it starts at the beginning of book 1.
>prologue with some princess being captured
>in distress she tries to send the plot mcguffin to some old eremit that used to be a powerful magical knight back in the day
>instead sends it to some young boy who grew up with his uncle because his father was also one of those powerful magical knights, but he turned evil
etc.

It's Star Wars by the numbers. If anything, later books tried to distance themselves from being exactly like Star Wars, all with Brom being revealed to be Eragon's father.

From when I was 8 to when I was about 12 I consumed a ridiculous amount of YA books; I remember borrowing one of pic related from my cousins house down the road and finishing it the same day. When I went to return it and get the next one my uncle flicked through the pages and quizzed me on the plot because he refused to believe I had read it so quickly.
I think reading Darren Shan’s books are the reason I’ve been partial to grimdark movies and manga ever since; I forgot how dark and violent they were till I flicked through them again the other day. I was so obsessed with him that my mum actually took me to meet him when was doing a talk at a nearby school - he was a nice but weird guy. Still got a couple of the books he signed for me.

what makes a book YA? Is it just the lack of cuckolding?

it's a fun series and all the worldbuilding around dragons is pretty well defined and structure. i think it takes a deep descend in quality mid series with a slight revival in tongues of serpents

>tfw read basically the entire Enderverse at least four times and for two years in highschool it was all I read, and upon finishing one subseries I'd start another, eventually looping around to Ender's Game again.
