Eragon telling Murtagh and Thorn to change their true names as if that's something that they can just... Do. Right now. On the spot.

As if Murtagh is just gonna be like "Oh shit really that's all it takes?? Aight cool let me just change my core identity real quick."

"Please, Murtagh, Thorn, will you not at least try what I've suggested? Have you no desire to resist Galbatorix? You will never cast off your chains unless you are willing to defy him." Like- Eragon- Buddy-

WHAT are they supposed to do RIGHT NOW? They were receptive from the very moment you brought it up. Was he like "Oh my god yes Eragon of course what a perfect flawless idea!!" No, he wasn't, but he was OPEN to it. He's being cautious and skeptical because he has to be- he's always had to be- but he's doing the VERY BEST he can do and saying "Yeah we'll look into it!" And you're like "Oh but won'T you PLEASE just consider it and do it right now??" Like??? What do you WANT HIM TO DO Eragon??

Also like- "Have you no desire to resist Galbatorix?" What do you THINK Eragon?? Do you think he and his dragon are mind slaves because they just looooove Galbatorix?? Do you remember him telling you they were fucking tortured??? Not only before the Battle of the Burning Plains, but afterwards too, when he LET YOUR SORRY ASS GO FREE? Do you not see "exploiting a technical loophole in his oaths to save his master's mortal enemy" as a form of resistance??? Eragon?????

#I love him but ge infuriates me sometimes #especially around his attitude towards Murtagh #like ugh I GET IT #but why do his empathy and critical thinking skills just fly out the window whenever he talks to Murtagh? #ashna reads the inheritance cycle #eragon #brisingr #murtagh morzansson #rant

Nasuada, trying to figure out why Eragon and Saphira need to go back to Ellesmèra: Wait a minute, what kind of weapon are we talking about here?

Eragon: The Galbatorix killing kind. 

Roran, popping in: Don’t you think that we should all have a weapon like that?

Eragon: No. 

Eragon: You simply lack the strength to wield them. Your bodies would crumble as your minds collapsed into madness. 

Angela, materializing out of nowhere: Is it weird that I want to do it even more now?

Eragon: Mmm, a little bit, yeah.

POV:

You are in the middle of any battle, so your default spell is, "Brisingr," and everyone gets burnt to flames.

It makes absolutely no sense to me that with all the wards and magic around Naegling, Oromis’ sword, there wouldn’t be a spell to make sure it stayed close to Oromis’ body?? Especially when the whole point was for it to store energy and protections that Oromis himself couldn’t because of his neurological disorder…did the question of whether Oromis would drop his sword during a seizure never ever occur to anyone?! I don’t believe it. I don’t believe it! They would have had some sort of protection for it. The fact that the sword just DROPS when he needs it most should not be allowed!!! sorry but I don’t believe you!!!!

I think the Inheritance series should get a TV series. I think it would be a good idea

My favourite kind of totalitarian magic hating high queen Nasuada somewhat immediately after that knife trial thingy that had Jörmundur piss his Victoria‘s Secret lace thong.

Brom: Um, Eragon, can you read these archives and help us find the source of the Seithr oil?

Eragon: No, I cannot. What's up I'm Eragon, 19, and I never fucking learned how to read

Alright, final thoughts on Brisingr.

You know what half the book was dwarven politics but I ate that shit up.

The more I read these again the more I appreciate the nuance of Eragon's character. It's super rare for me to like a main protagonist as much as I like him, but he has so many things going on. He's heroic, but in a deeply existentialist way, which leads him to be a bit cruel/callous towards his brother. He is smart and a quick learner, both academically and on his feet, but he does and thinks some of the stupidest things sometimes. He was forced to grow up so fast, so while he often comes across as mature and self-assured, internally he is still just a kid, or perhaps a very, very young man, and that kid part of him still shines through sometimes. He does and will do what he has to do to help the world, but he is constantly surprised to find new avenues of guilt when confronted with various consequences of his actions, but he still presses on. He is still learning his place in life not only as a dragon rider and a hero, but just as a person in general, and I think that's so cool and interesting to read! And he's also dealing with the trauma of the everything that's happening to him, but doesn't quite yet seem to realize that he isn't alone in his feelings. He is a dork, and I love him, and I want to be his friend, and I want him to accrue a whole squad of older sibling figures to help him through his stuff.

Along the lines of trauma, I hope he and Roran get to talk about this stuff. They both have moments of berating themselves over being weak for having strong feelings about killing and participating in a war, and I wish they would talk to each other and realize they were not alone. ... Murtagh too but that's just wishful thinking. I'll just have to write that myself I suppose.

Saphira is also so good queen of my heart and my soul she is beauty she is grace if she were a human she would rip apart a rat with her bare hands and teeth and do a kegstand immediately afterwards with the blood still dripping down her face but her makeup would be FLAWLESS while she did it ❤️

This felt like the first book that really drove the point home of how close the two of them are, because this is the first time they had to be truly separated from each other. Every time they reunited and they were just so filled with joy and love I just 🥺

As always- Murtagh deserves better!!! He and Thorn!!! He is in this position because he was too compassionate for Eragon (being led to the Varden), and then Thorn (swearing fealty to save him), and no one really cares about him but he still hopes and he still loves!!! Obviously, like, being on opposite sides of the conflict no one is going to not try to kill him, they kind of don't have a choice, but... Damn. I won't say too much more about him until after Inheritance but like. Damn. Justice for my husband.

On that note, the absolute betrayal he must have felt upon finding out that Oromis and Glaedr existed. Granted, by him becoming a dragon rider it was already too late for them to help him, but still. It's just kind of a tragic circumstance that everyone was so powerless in this situation, and like... Being literally possessed by Galbatorix for a bit there was. Hmm. Bad. I'm sure we'll be dissecting THAT in the new book.

It makes me wonder how much of this situation could have been prevented if the elves and the dwarves weren't so consistently self-serving. I think that's what makes Nasuada such an effective leader in comparison to them. She will get shit done, and she will set aside pride whenever she needs to to achieve the best results. Now, she has her flaws, which I know are explored more in Inheritance, but I can understand her constant frustration with the other kingdoms refusal to help or share important secrets that could have helped them sooner/prevented bloodshed.

And as far as secrets go... I don't know. It's hard to gauge "should have" or "shouldn't have" with most of the things Oromis and Glaedr neglected to tell Eragon and Saphira (or anyone), but the eldunarí feels like the most cut and dry. I guess they weren't anticipating Thron hatching but like. If that's the source of Galbatorix's power... It might have been useful for literally anyone to know about that before now. Arya didn't even know, for god's sake.

Speaking of Arya, I like her way way more this read through!!! And I do not ship her and Eragon literally at all sorry I'm a hater ❤️

RIP Oromis though sucks that you died.

Onto Inheritance!

Glaedr tells Eragona about the heart of hearts that dragons have, and Eragon’s like, “Why didn’t you tell me about this, Saphira?”

And she says, “Would you think worthy of mention that you have a stomach, Eragon?”

Sorry I didn’t tell you had a thing that keeps my soul/consciousness in my chest, I guess.

One of my favourite Inheritance Cycle facts is that Galbatorix literally translates to "big King" (galba=big, torix=king), and so his title is literally:

King Big-king
