In book 1 there is described a religion where people cut pieces off one another and eat them and drink blood and stuff. In book 2, in a battle early on, a character uses magic to cut off an enemy’s arm. Amputation is fairly common throughout the series.

Eragon, after his training with the elves, can no longer eat meat without feeling sick. It takes him a while to get a handle on his diet and ends up being a recurring issue in the third book

Visually, not in the books of course. Mentally, yes. Soon in the TV series, probably. Riding a dragon in battle is a flying roller coaster. Spinning rapidly on a dragon... flying and watching the world roll upside-down as you do a full, round swoop... nearly falling off... crashing through trees. You'll see it. Because: Dragons.

The answer is no unless you specifically count the second book on its own. But also part of the reason for this is there's only two canonically black characters in this series, a father and daughter.

When you think of crippled, you normally think of a missing limb or a malfunction in the way the body moves and operates, as in the case of a neurological condition affecting a person's gait or difficulty grasping objects or being paralyzed. However, his inborn magical abilities is crippled. His body is intact, unaffected, whole. His magical friend, on the other hand, is the complete opposite, missing a limb. Together, they are balanced and, in spite of their newfound difficulties, have a closer bond. "The cripple who is whole" is therefore not an example of ableist language. Rather, he is simply describing himself so he would be recognized later. It also reflects his acceptance of his condition.
Later, in the series, when they confront an enemy, the enemy mocks them. Now there is ableism.
