Eragon Chapter Twenty Five
This chapter is called ‘an old friend’. Ah, yes. Our old friend the long and dull chapter. Comparing this to the average length this one is going to be a bit of a pain. Brom and Eragon can’t tell which … Continue reading
Eragon Chapter Twenty Four
This chapter is called ‘a taste of terim’. I don’t think I want a taste of Terim. Cities are usually made of things like brick, dirt and varying degrees of syphilitic politicians. None of which would be palatable to even … Continue reading
Eragon Chapter Twenty Three
As I’ve mentioned before, there’s a serious balance issue among this story. Or at least that’s what it would be called were this a MMORPG or even a regular old RPG. For those not in the know(and frankly how many … Continue reading
Eragon Chapter Twenty Two
This chapter is called ‘through a dragon’s eye’. Yes, through a dragon’s eye Eragon is just as stupid and redundant as a pair fuzzy dice in a casino. I imagine that right now Saphira is looking over a few discussion … Continue reading

Eragon Chapter Twenty
Twenty chapters in and Chris has only managed to make the whole story more confusing. Well, not the main story. That seems to be coming together like your standard fantasy. Evil king lives over in castle and people are unhappy. … Continue reading
Eragon Chapter Nineteen
Eragon Wakes: 12 Perhaps I should change it to Eragon Passes Out? Anywho, this chapter is called ‘admonishments’. I’m presuming this is where Chris addresses all the critics and says ‘neener neener neener. I made money, suckas’. Eragon stumbles out … Continue reading
Eragon Chapter Eighteen
Eragon Wakes: 11 There seems to be an unspoken rule among fantasy author’s, especially amateurs(having done amateur fantasy I should know), that you can’t have regular names for anything. Borrow liberally from Germanic or Klingon if you have to, make … Continue reading
Eragon Chapter Seventeen
Though Chris doesn’t do the usual awakening I’m still counting it. It starts off with ‘the next morning’. That’s the phrase writers actually use instead of ‘it was a dark and stormy night.’ It gets trotted out so much it’s … Continue reading
Eragon Chapter Sixteen
Eragon Wakes: 10 Yes, for once Chris decides to skip the waking up bit to open things up. And just as I start a running counter of all things. Damn you Chris for spoiling my gag! This chapter is call … Continue reading
