There’s a whole category of fictional character describable as “the narrative is forcing me to be not just the hero, but also the good guy, and literally nothing has ever made me angrier. All I want in the universe is to go back to being morally ambiguous and self-interested.”
And the universe said “No. Also here’s a found family 😘.”

how do I describe the excitement of eragon to someone who wasn’t in high school in the late 00s/early 10s?? it was one of very few book series that EVERYONE was reading - so much heart, politics, intricate worldbuilding with gray characters you will love to death alongside the most wonderful concept of a mindlink as a Dragon Rider!
a lot of people didn’t give it a chance because the setting was derivative of Tolkien but the moment you take the first book as a starter (written by a 15 year old no less), that’s where the similarities end and the series blooms into one of the most fun adventure fantasy series I’ve read.
Eragon’s growth is phenomenal to watch, especially because so much is focused on HOW he grows, which is where a lot of fantasy will skip on. Eragon definitely is a series where the author shows you, rather than tells you, and it creates a wonderful world with lots of great lore that you’ll invest yourself in heavily.
and Murtagh? No notes. Impeccable. Showstopping. My love for him runs so deep that it feels like I was born with it coded into my genetic material.
READ THE INHERITANCE CYCLE. No better time to do it than now with a new book coming out in November, and a new show next year!

I'm reading Murtagh and this part immidiately hit me:
Tumblr media
Eragon used magic on his stubble... like without even a thought.
Meanwhile Murtagh actually thinks things through. I'm crying.

The funniest thing about the dynamic between Roran, Eragon, and Murtagh spending any amount of time together is that anyone of them at any given moment would be entirely justified in looking around and thinking:
“Oh fuck, now there are two of them-”

So ever since the news Murtagh and Thorn were getting thier own book I’ve been morphing back into the feral 13 year old baby fangirl with her first book boyfriend.
Only this time, I’m 31 with the yarn skills to make a cardigan to snuggle in when I binge it! It’s so big and so cozy and 😍🥰. I am OBSESSED with it!

The cardigan was knit flat seamlessly from the bottom up with increases to make the wing silhouette. The fronts and back were worked separately with short row shoulder shaping and joined with Kitchener Stitch. Stitches were then picked up for the buttonband and sleeve cuffs.
The pattern is mine, but I haven’t released it because it’s only written in one size and not tech edited. I haven’t done much size grading but if there’s a lot of interest I’ll consider it! Yarn is Knit Picks Swish Bulky on US 10.5/6.5mm needles.

What is fascinating about Murtagh's use of magic, beyond his obvious lack of education compared to Eragon, is how much he relies on intent to direct his spells.
During his studies under Oromis, Eragon learnt to always use precise wording to get the results he wants. And due to his prior unintentional cursing of Elva, this is sth he remains very conscious of through for the rest of the series. It, of course, helps that he is basically fluent in the Ancient Language after his stay in Ellesmera.
But Murtagh knows only a handful of words (at least before he finds the dictionary), so throughout most of the book, he mainly uses short simple phrases and sometimes straight-up single word spells. And outside a couple of times in which other magic users' wards interfere with his spells, they turn out to be surprisingly reliable despite being incredibly vague.
While Murtagh is obviously behind Eragon in terms of magic, I think it is fascinating to see how much use he is able to get out his very limited knowledge of magic theory and the Ancient Language through his own creativity.
In a way, his lack of a formal education in magic really allows him to try new things (which is not always good due to the obvious danger of magic experiments ).
It also makes me think back to Brom starting to teach magic to Eragon. He explains that a true master would be able to create a gemstone just with the use of the singular word "water".
