Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paolini

05.15.10 to 05.17.10 "Eargon"
05.17.10 to 05.12.10 "Eldest"
05.21.10 to 05.27.10 "Brisinger"

More than 1,800 pages later, I emerge from Paolini's wonderful dragon, elf, dwarf and yeah human adventure. I thought I bought a complete series but just my luck another book in to go [write Paolini write!]. With Tolkien-ist fashion, we go on the adventure to defeat the evil all the while endure what seems impossible.

I loved the fact that Eargon, the dragon rider, was real and stupid on occasion - one has to learn how to be a hero. I love that Saphira, the dragon, can be snippy and playful. I love that Roran is an unassuming and accidental hero. I love Angela most of all! The characters in this book come to life with such vibrant colors that you see and feel the story unfold.

Prepare yourself before you read this book for hours on hours of read for you can't put the books down. Read the books!
