Book Posting #1

The book that I am reading is Brisingr by Christopher Paolini. It is the third book in the Inheritance series which includes Eragon and Eldest which are also written by Christopher Paolini. For those who know the book, it starts off at Helgrind, a large, needle-like mountain near a large lake called Leona Lake. Eragon, the main character, and his cousin Roran are looking to slay the tyrant Galbotorix’s servants, the Ra’zac, bird-like creatures that are fast, cunning, and very devious. The book centers on Eragon who is supposedly the last free Dragon Rider who has a high social and military standing. In his quests, he learns from an ancient Rider who has stayed hidden to teach the next generation of Riders since he and his Dragon are crippled. Eragon also becomes an elf-like human when the dragons perform a ritual to increase his strength, stamina, and magical power. During this book, he returns to the domain of the dwarves to hasten their elections for a new king and succeeds in supporting a new king that is very friendly to the group of people he serves called the Varden. This is a very interesting book and I would recommend that anyone should read the series. You should start with book one however, Eragon.
