K’chain Che’malle. Fricken’ dinosaurs with fricken’ sword arms.

Take my opinion with a slight grain of salt because it’s been at least a decade since I read the book and a half of the series that I got through, but from what I recall the books just didn’t really have much to them - flat characters, awkward dialogue, and the actual prose itself was pretty bad. It was also boring enough that I just didn’t care about anything that was happening, and I’d read enough good fantasy by the time I read Eragon that its flaws were hard to look past - I know the dude was a teenager when he wrote it, but that doesn’t make the work magically better. Not trying to shit on anybody’s parade, but it just really wasn’t my thing.

I don’t know about worse, but the Eragon books and movie are equally terrible.

Malazan Book of the Fallen, Gentlemen Bastards series, most of Neil Gaiman’s work, The Library at Mount Char, the Baru Cormorant series, Gatsby, Flowers for Algernon, and most of Plath’s work - I go back to most of those every few years.
