★★☆☆☆
This may be where I discovered my love of training sequences – at least, the training is all I remember of this book. No great loss, I think. Was this my first overhyped generic fantasy book?
Brisingr

★★☆☆☆
A disappointing end to a disappointing series, if I recall correctly. Little happened, but everything was very dramatic. I never got around to reading the last part – the series was meant to be a trilogy, after all, and the necessity of splitting up the last volume didn't inspire confidence.
Eragon
by Christopher Paolini

★☆☆☆☆
Sometimes it's just down to the order or operations. I read Eragon after the Lord of the Rings, and so I disliked it and thought much of its plot was a cheap knock-off version with more wish fulfillment. That was not entirely fair, but I was ten at the time and being angry about bad books was my thing. It's certainly an impressive book considering the age of the author at the time.
