Did you know this was written by a 15 year-old boy and self published before it was picked up by a major publisher? So cool! (I think his parents technically did the self-publishing but still.) This has extremely strong Tolkien vibes. While this type of episodic, slow paced high fantasy isn’t really my favorite, I am so impressed by Paolini. The audiobook narrator’s voice for the dragon was kind of hilarious and weird, but also it would be weird if a dragon just had a regular human voice, no?
