I can understand what you're saying about the attachment when you grow up with a series. I'm only 20, if I was a few years younger I would probably be more forgiving. Harry Potter was my story read growing up. I started reading Eragon a bit later than everyone else.

Eragon and Arya was never a romance. The first three books was just Eragon having teenlust after some hot elf ass. There never was any mutual feelings. That's not a romance. I hated Arya's character. Then again, I hated the all the elves. Seriously, how fucking OP can a race get? Not only are they far faster and stronger than humans, but they're also the masters of magic. And oh yeah, you thought Dwarves were going to be good at crafting shit? Like weapons and armor? Nah, elves are the best at that too. Also they're the wisest and most intelligent of the races. So Eragon decides to give the ELVES the true name of Magic? So no-one even has a chance against an elf in magic? God damn that shit made me so mad.

That might not all make sense. Had a lot at the bars tonight. But FUCK THE ELVES real talk
