Eragon, Inheritance Trilogy, Book One, Christopher Paolini




Eragon
Inheritance Book 1
I really enjoyed this book. It is fairly classic in its style following in a way the same pattern as the Lord of the Rings trilogy. If you enjoy stories of dragons, elves, dwarfs and monsters of all shapes and sizes mixed in with magic and mysticism then this is the story for you. This is the tale of our hero Eragon a boy without a family a boy with a destiny that he doesn't yet know about who finds a dragons egg and experiences the world unravelling around him. The story has highs and lows and the death and destruction that seems to follow our young hero is vast and terrible.
The writing style is good but nothing special. There are times that the story jumps and our hero has moved over vast sections of the map in a few pages however this does not detract too much from the story. I recommend this tale, in fact so much I am about to dive into book two, Eldest. I give this book an 8 out of 10.

This book was about a boy called Eragon who lived in a small village called Carvahall. Suddenly he finds a Dragon egg and becomes a legendary Rider. Unfortunately his father is killed and he tries to avenge his death by chasing after the murderers with the town story teller, Brom. This plunges Carvahall and his brother into danger of an unusual kind. I enjoyed this book as it had adventure, epic escapes and thrilling battles along with imaginary creatures fighting to protect their land. I am giving it an 8/10.
