Quotes courtesy of Christopher Paolini Q&As and u/ibid-11962:
"It's hard to find good dragons. I think the dragons in the the Fourth Wing series by Rebecca Yarros are interesting dragons. Very savage, very interesting. I think what I enjoyed the most of Fourth Wing were the dragons."
"When I first started writing [Eragon], there were a lot fewer friendly dragons than there are now. One of the interesting things that Rebecca Yarros has done is that her dragons, although they are friendly to a certain extent, are very wild, very violent as well, and that gives them an interesting dimension. I like to see some of the riskiness of dragons come back, because they should be dangerous, they should be somewhat scary, even if they are also noble and beautiful and all that."
