book review for "Eragon" by Christopher Paolini

Hey, everyone! Sorry I did the Eldest book review before the Eragon one(oops...). Well, here it is!

At the beginning of the book, a boy named Eragon finds a strange stone while hunting in a mountain range. The stone turns out to be a dragon egg and hatches. He begins traveling with a storyteller named Brom. In the middle of the book, Eragon has many troubles with magic, urgals, and ra'zac. Tragedy stikes and Eragon cannot worry about it for long. At the end of the book, Eragon is caught in a massive battle that he wins but is injured in the process. This is a great book, if you read it you will probably love it, I know I did. 4 out of 5 stars.

Book review for "Eldest" by Christopher Paolini

Eldest is the sequel to "Eragon". In the beginning of the book, Eragon is in the city of Farthen-Dur, after the battle that was at the end of the last book, when Urgals attack them even after losing the battle. A tragedy occurs and political matters must be addressed. In the middle of the book, he is in the elvish lands, Ellesmera, training when a problem arises back in the varden and Eragon returns to them. At the end of the book he fights in a massive battle(I will not say who won or who was fighting) and battles another dragon rider(I will not say who it is or who won). Parts of the story are about Roran and parts are about the varden. I recommend this book to everyone who likes dragon fantasies. 4.7 out of 5 stars.
