This series is tough to evaluate. It's not very original, but extremely well written. Mostly good morals, but its the tiny passages that make me hesitate to give this series a good review. One of the ways of performing magic is by summoning demons, a practice clearly rejected by the bible. While this doesn't play a large role in the books, aside from Durza who is a bad character (most magic is the harmless fantasy style found in Harry Potter and Narnia), it's expected of the characters and readers to just accept it as a harmless means of performing magic. The second book goes farther with Eragon's conversations with both the elves and dwarves. The dwarf belief in any higher power is treated foolishly by the elves for the simple reason that it can not be proven. Faulty logic at best and the author does not shove it down anyone's throat, nor say or imply that the elves are wholly right. Hopefully the third book will start to clear these doubts up....   hide
