It’s mid for sure. Lots of better kids books out there in terms of both literary quality and entertainment. As a kid I read them (obligatory for any kid who read a lot in my generation) but there weren’t even in my top 10 book series.
I preferred Artemis Fowl, Lord of the Rings/The Hobbit, Series of Unfortunate Events, Bartimaeus Trilogy, Redwall series, Animorphs, Chronicles of Narnia, the Eragon series (not great literary quality but I still liked it), Ender’s Game series (good quality but another questionable crank author).
Wasn't the author in like his teens when Eragon started? I haven't read passed the third book, and its been ages since even that, but I feel like younger authors can get a bit of slack, especially with an attempt at a fantasy epic.
Yes he was like 17. It gets a lot of hate because of its juvenile prose and derivative plot and setting, but it does the job at the end of the day of being enthralling to its target demographic.
Even outside of reactionary garbage it's definitely not great literature
It's not even good children's literature. Unfortunately these days seems most of it is terrible.
