Review: Eragon by Christopher Paolini

Eragon by Christopher Paolini


In anticipation of the fourth and final book in the Inheritance Cycle coming out, I decided to reread all the books to refresh my memory. These books are incredibly awesome, and I would encourage lovers of the fantasy genre to read them, if you haven’t already. Everyone can enjoy these books, girls, young readers, adult readers, everyone.

Eragon finds a mysterious blue stone one day while hunting. Unsure what it is, he takes it home and keeps it. The stone hatches into a blue baby dragon, a creature that everyone in the Empire was sure had gone extinct. With the help of a strange village story-teller named Brom, Eragon learns as much as he can about the dragons of old. When he discovers that he is being hunted by their evil tyrant of a king, Galbatorix, Eragon flees his village with the dragon, which he has named Saphira, and Brom. Eragon learns that he has become part of an ancient order of Dragon Riders, who were wiped out by Galbatorix when he first came to power. Now it is Eragon and Saphira’s responsibility to use their position to help the people of the Empire rise and defeat Galbatorix. However, that will be a bit hard as there are no more living Riders to train them. Nevertheless, they must try to overthrow the corrupt government with the help of a myriad of people, from elves to dwarves to insane magicians.
