Eragon by Christopher Paolini

    The book follows Eragon a young farm boy who stumbles on a mysterious looking rock. unknowing that the rock is a dragon’s egg, he takes it home. The hatch of the egg open Eragon’s eyes on what he thought to be legends and fairytales. Overnight, Eragon experienced loss and had what seemed to be a simple life shattered only to be thrown on a journey with a fledgling dragon and a storyteller wise beyond expectations and a past unknown to most. 

    The writing style was impeccable, it was very easy to understand and get engage into. I can’t say I found any errors in the writing style, the plot, nor the world development. The world development might be one of my favorite things about this book, as you read you get immersed into the world as it’s being described. 

    The character development throughout the story was impressive, each character had a personality and past of their own. The author left me wanting more of each character’s past, the mystery of each character gave me the impression that I knew said character bit the enigma remained. However, I do believe that the mystery surrounding each character is really needed since this is book one of the cycle.     Whether or not the book was heavy on action depends on the reader and their reading history, to me the story was not heavy on action, but it certainly kept me on my toes. The combat parts of the book were engaging and descriptive, I did not feel confused or lost, it was easy to visualize. 

    The end was very satisfying, the story as a whole was well wrapped up and well-paced pace. I highly recommend this book to adventure, magic and dragon lovers.
