Murtagh - Tumblr Posts - Page 2
scenes from an inheritance fic you'll never read
someone at ilirean court spots and recognizes murtagh. there's a whole scene and he leaves the castle grounds to cool off.
thorn can't easily leave in broad daylight. nasuada waits up with him to talk to murtagh. she and thorn become bros.
murtagh doesn't get back til well into the night. goes to sleep under thorn's wing like he usually does. thorn's annoyed at murtagh and doesn't tell him nasuada fell asleep there hours ago.
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!
