You Finished The Inheritance Cycle.
What Now?

Lyra Belacqua lives in a world where every human has a daemon — an animal companion that is the external form of their soul. An adventure involving armoured bears, witches, and the most dangerous secret in the universe.

The closest match to Eragon's sense of a young protagonist growing into an extraordinary world. Pullman's trilogy is more sophisticated philosophically and more emotionally devastating. The bond between Lyra and Pan is the analogue to Eragon and Saphira.

A world where storms shape all life, ancient Shardblades can cut through souls, and a handful of people are slowly rediscovering a power that was thought lost to history.

The adult evolution of everything Eragon did: magic systems with internal logic, a world that rewards attention, heroes who earn their power slowly. Sanderson is the most accomplished working epic fantasy writer.

Kvothe — the most notorious wizard of his age — sits in a country inn and begins telling his story. He was once the most brilliant student at the Arcanum. He is now hiding from his own legend.

The coming-of-age structure of Eragon elevated to literary prose. Kvothe's time at the Arcanum has the same sense of earned mastery; the world is richer and stranger.

In a world where ash falls from the sky and mists rule the night, a crew of criminals plans the impossible: overthrow the Lord Ruler, who has ruled for a thousand years and may actually be immortal.

Sanderson's most accessible epic fantasy. The magic system (Allomancy — swallowing metals to gain powers) is one of the most inventive in the genre. If Eragon made you want more complex magic with real internal logic, Mistborn is the next step.

Rin, a war orphan who survived military academy through sheer stubbornness, discovers she has the power to call on a god — and that power is destroying her.

The dragon-bond mythology of Eragon taken somewhere darker and more morally complex. Kuang's series draws on Chinese history and is considerably more brutal — but if you're ready for a harder version of that same sense of world-historical stakes, this is it.

Seven young people from a remote village are drawn into a world-spanning quest. The Dragon Reborn must face the Dark One — but which of them is actually the Dragon?

The template for everything epic fantasy did after it. If Eragon gave you a taste for multi-book commitment and genuinely large worlds, Wheel of Time is the full thing. 14 books, one continuous story, and some of the finest magic system design in the genre.

The story of Wistala, a young female dragon who survives the slaughter of her family and must navigate a world of dwarves, blighters, and humans who all have different uses for dragons.

For readers who want the dragon-perspective chapters of Eragon extended into a full novel — Knight's Age of Fire series is told entirely from dragon point of view, which almost nothing else in fantasy attempts.
