This Beautiful Illustrated Edition of Eragon Has Dropped to a New Low Price on Amazon – IGN
I’ve perused a surprising number of books about dragons in my time, but Eragon was one of the most impactful because I was just a kid when I first read it. The Inheritance Cycle was one of my first proper introductions into the fantasy genre as a whole and got me excited to read more in a way that I hadn’t really experienced outside of Harry Potter.
So when I found out that the illustrated edition of Eragon not only existed, but was also at it’s lowest-ever price, I couldn’t help but buy it for myself. The art I’ve seen in the preview for it looks incredible and seems to portray the story in a way that feels perfect for the series. The rich painted strokes from artist Sidharth Chaturvedi seem to really bring the images to life, and it seems like the perfect fit for my growing illustrated collection of some of my favorite fantasy books.

Eragon: The Illustrated Edition (The Inheritance Cycle)
4
This is the first illustrated edition in the Inheritance Cycle, with an original release date of November 2023. Since its release, the price has dropped a few time but this price is the lowest we’ve ever seen. Newer illustrated editions, such as George R.R. Martin’s upcoming Feast of Crows, can come at a high price and stay there for a long time. If you are thinking of adding this version of Eragon to your collection, there’s never been a better time.
That being said, it’s also worth considering some of the other popular illustrated editions that come at a similar price. There’s the Hunger Games Illustrated edition, which recently received a similar Amazon price reduction. And there’s also a new upcoming Harry Potter interactive illustrated edition that was discounted as soon as it was available for preorder.

Will There Be More Illustrated Editions in the Inheritance Cycle?
One issue with buying illustrated editions is that there’s no guarantee you’ll be able to complete your set. While the illustrated edition of Eragon looks awesome, it came out almost two years ago and is still the only book in the series to receive this deluxe treatment. I did a bit of research about whether or not there’s been any word from Christopher Paolini about new illustrated editions, but the only thing I could find was this Reddit thread discussing the topic. Basically, there is no official news about Eldest, Brisinger, and Inheritance getting illustrated versions, but if this one sells well enough they will make more of them.
Outside of the books, Eragon will be receiving a Disney+ TV series that will likely breathe new life into the books. The upcoming series does not yet have a release date, but it is still on track to happen.
