Inheritance by Christopher Paolini

This book reminded me that Christopher Paolini's books have many pages.  Not only that but, the writing is small so it takes a while for me to read them.  But, that is not necessarily a bad thing.  I enjoyed the wonderful hours it took to read this big book.  (about 100 pages longer than Brisingr--his last book in the series.)

This is the conclusion to the series (called the Inheritance Cycle Series).

There is a lot of fighting in the book.  I love how the book has so many twists and turns.  Things don't always work out the way I imagined but, it's great that they work out even better than I thought they would.

It was great to hear of Saphira and Eragon's adventures.  Many of the same characters as the other books.  There are many that I love!  It was a good conclusion and many loose ends get resolved. 

I loved the pronunciation helps at the end.  Huge help!

It was definitely worth the many hours it took to read this book.  I recommend this series.  These books are so fun!

Brisingr by Christopher Paolini

Brisingr by Christopher Paolini
My goal while hubby was away in Atlanta was to read this 759 page book. I had so much to do that I only barely finished Sunday before he got home. My life was just not very kind to book reading that week.
The beginning of this book has a review of Eragon and Eldest. I really liked that. It helped me remember many details and helped get me into the story again before even starting.

I really liked the book. Towards the beginning though it got really exciting and I looked and noticed a great deal of book left and so I knew it couldn’t conclude yet. Then toward the end, there was just a little bit of book left and a lot more to happen so I had a good idea that it wouldn’t end with this book.

This was a great adventure and I look forward to reading the conclusion in the next volume.

The authors style of writing is not one I read will fast with. He thinks differently than I do so it takes me longer to read his book, but I really enjoy his book and am rewarded for my efforts of reading his book. Brisingr is a fun, fun book.
