This is an excellent way to purchase the initial two books in the ongoing Inheritance series by Christopher Paolini.
My only quibble is the boxed set has no additional features to entice a reader who has previously purchased the books separately. Though it seemingly eliminates one market of readers/collectors, the avenue is open for those wishing to explore the books at a nice price.

I enjoy this series because I've always loved magical books with just a pinch of mystery. The author also created a world where dragons or other animals, magical or non-magical, could communicate with humans. That supports my love for animals and my interest in magical animals. All the books so far have also demonstrated that you have to keep going at something to become an expert at it. The Inheritance Cycle series has surprises around the corner and twists at the end. This book is one of the greatest books I've ever read, mostly because the author has such a creative imagination. I think everybody should at least try this series.
