Book Wyrm Review of Brisingr by Christopher Paolini


Brisingr is the third book in the inheritance series. Although Eragon and his dragon Saphira barely survived the massive battle in the Burning Plains, there is no rest for the wary Rider and his dragon. Eragon finds that he is entangled in a sticky web of promises which he may not be able to keep. He has promised his brother Roran that he would save his beloved from the clutches of lord Galbatorix, but that would mean almost certain death for him, and if he dies the Varden will surly fall. With the rebel soldiers on edge and foes behind every corner, Eragon will have to make choices that may lead to an unimagined sacrifice.

This new book in the inheritance series was full of twists, turns and enemies behind every corner, but once again the author sometimes allows the story to drag. Although it does not drag as much as Eldest the second book in the series, it is still a problem that will cause some readers to put the book down. So, if you don't mind the occasional change of pace, I recommend this book for those who love adventure, magic, and War.

Book Wyrm Review on Eldest by Christopher Paolini


In this sequel book to Eragon. Eragon and his dragon Saphira have just saved the Varden from destruction by Lord Galbatrix's armies. Eragon must now venture north across the desert to get to the the elven city of Ellesmera for further training in magic and swordsman ship. But with enemies behind every corner, the question is will Eragon survive long enough to be trained?

Eldest is by far my favorite book in the series. Although in this new book the pace can get slow. With beautiful described battle sequences and shocking truths discovered, Eldest is a great book for those who don't mind long description and sometimes a slightly slower pace.

Book Wyrm Review of Eragon by Christopher Paolnini


Eragon is a adventure story about a boy who discovers a stone in the forest and brings it home to discover that it is really a dragon egg! Immediately Eragon is thrown head first into a century long war between the Varadon and the evil lord Galbatorix.
Eragon is a very enjoyable story. Although a little slow at times and a lot of the time the author is over describing the scenery, Eragon is a book that grabs the reader and pulls him or her into the story to fly across Alegaesia with Eragon.
