About this listen

When Eragon finds a polished stone in the forest, he thinks it is the lucky discovery of a poor farm boy; perhaps it will buy his family meat for the winter. But when the stone brings a dragon hatchling, Eragon soon realizes he has stumbled upon a legacy nearly as old as the Empire itself.

Overnight, his simple life is shattered and he is thrust into a perilous new world of destiny, magic and power. With only an ancient sword and the advice of an old storyteller for guidance, Eragon and the fledgling dragon must navigate the dangerous terrain and dark enemies of an Empire ruled by a king whose evil knows no bounds. Can Eragon take up the mantle of the legendary Dragon Riders? The fate of the Empire may rest in his hands.

The voice actor doesn't do the weird Saphira voice

This is the copy you want to buy if you accidentally bought the one with the terrible Mrs piggy and Yoda combo voice for Saphira. I'm not exaggerating. For such a young author it's really good. looking forward to the others

love this narration

Love Saphria's voice, other narrations of this seriess completely destroy her voice so much so I hate listening to it. I've read all these books previously and it really ruins it the other narrations.

Seems to be missing parts of the story

I love this book series but there seems to be some missing from this audio. I have read the physical books many times

Bit miffed

Not a fan that this is missing so much detail from the original version. I would have thought that audible would put somewhere that it was abridged, but apparently not

Abridged!

This is the abridged version. It's only 9 hours compared to 16 hours by the other narrator. Don't know why they would do this...
