Inheritance Cycle:

  Hide contents

A young boy, whose parents are dead so he lives with his uncle, is taken by a dragon and an old man for the sole reason that he is genetically able to access a mysterious force. He is conveniently missing when his uncle is killed and uses this as motivation for his quest. So, he goes around freeing Alagaesia from political oppression and an evil empire with his buddy-buddy team of friends and a super cool sword-based weapon. He already knows that one member of his family is still alive, and a strange romantic subplot lurks in the background. That romantic subplot does not, thankfully, include anyone in his family, but with someone in his buddy-buddy team, which makes things kinda awkward

Isn’t this explain a plot badly?

Here’s another version 

Spoiler

Backwater teen learns magic and kills TLR

Yeah, I realize that's a pretty good description of the actual plot, and perhaps has no place in this thread, but it's so ridiculous I thought i could get away with it.

But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my egg go now, that'll be the end of it.”

"Don’t worry," I whispered over the line, "I’m an expert on stupid."
"You’re..."
"Like, I can spot stupidity, because I know it so well. The way an exterminator knows bugs really well, and can spot where they’ve been? I’m like that. A stupidinator."
"Never say that word again," Prof said.” 
this was my first thought when I saw "never say that again.
