I liked Eragon but hated Eldest, he lost me with that one I won't be finishing the series.

I'm picky about my fantasy, love The Black Company books by Glen Cook, Charles de Lint's work, Neil Gaiman's writing, LOTR is good ,but nothing beats the original Conan stories by Robert E. Howard. Or most of his writing. Soloman Kane, Kull, Cormac Mac Art, Bran Mac Morn,etc. The man could write.
