Inheritance
I recently read Inheritance the final book in The Inheritance Cycle. The series revolves around Eragon and his dragon, Saphira. The books take place in a fictional world called Alagaësia. In Alagaësia there are five main races: Urgals, Humans, Elves, Dwarfs, and Dragons. The elves and the dragons had a long bloody war and in order to make peace they created the dragon riders; many of the dragons' eggs would only hatch when exposed to their rider and once they hatched the dragon and its rider would be able to telepathically communicate. The humans joined the treaty between the elves and dragons and for hundreds of years, the riders governed over the dragon riders. Then a corrupt human dragon rider named Galbatorix and several other rebel dragon riders slew every other dragon rider and destroyed every dragon egg except for three eggs. A hundred years later a human, Eragon, discovers a dragon egg in the woods and it hatched for him. Eragon and Saphira, his dragon, help a rebellion fight Galbatorix and the empire he had created over the last century. The series is very well written and very descriptive and the author does a great job at creating Alagaësia. Parts of the series are very fast paced while others are very slow and unnecessary. Over the series, the author develops great characters and in Inheritance the author does a great job at finishing the series. Overall, The Inheritance Cycle was a great read and I wish there were more books in it.
