Ok so the next thing I am going to write about is a series of books known as the Inheritance Series written by Christopher Paolini. These books are a great read for anyone!!! The series chronicles the life of a farm boy named Eragon, who by chance happens across a blue stone, which is later revealed to be a dragon egg. A baby dragon (Saphira) soon hatches and Eragon finds himself being one of two dragon riders left in existence.
The other dragon rider is Alagaesia’s (the country where the story takes place) very own King Gallbatorix. However he is not a good a king. He has lived for many years (because dragon rider’s lives extend centuries). In those many years he has lived, he has nearly wiped out the dragon race, killed all the dragon riders, and even caused the elves and the dwarves to go into hiding.
Eragon now has a choice to make. Will he join the rebellious group known as the Varden, whose sole purpose is to over throw the king, or will he become a pawn of the king and used to do his evil bidding. Only reading the series will tell!!
This series will keep you on edge as you read it as secrets of Eragon’s family unfold and as the secrets of all the races dwarf, elf, dragon and human a like come into the open. It is the next Lord of the Ring series and Christopher Paolini is the next J.R. Tolkien, but don’t take my word for it!!! Go read it yourself!!!
By the way I did cry at the end of the series. :(

P.S. If you have seen the Eragon movie, please don’t let it keep you from reading the books. The movie was horribly written and the plot was completely different!
