I grew up with such books as Eragon, the others being Artemis Fowl, Harry Potter and Famous Five.Eragon had a special place in my heart because of its magical tendency towards a fantastical journey in a fantastical world filled with heroes fighting for the general good and the villains fighting for evil and perversion. Much like Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings Paolini’s world is one steeped in magic and mystical creatures: Elves, Ra’zac, Shade, Dragons and many others. This book is the first of the trilogy Inheritance Cycle series by Paolini the others being Eldest and Brisingr. Being the first in the series it is the beginning of a journey to any young or old reader into the world of Eragon and his dragon Saphira. No spoilers. Go read. Enjoy!
