Brisingr

The book I'm reading now is called Brisingr, by Christopher Paolini. It is the third book in the Inheritance Cycle. I finished the second book (Eldest) yesterday and have just started Brisingr today therefore I cannot write about the plot accurately but basically I think it is just about Eragon and the third Rider training and getting ready for the final battle between Galbatorix and Murtagh. Eragon will probably return to Ellesméra (the elves homeland) to finish his training with Oromis, the last Rider before Eragon.

Background Information:

There was a time when Riders and their dragons brought peace to the world. The connection between the dragon and Rider was very fragile; if the Rider died the dragon would not bear to live but if the dragon died, the rider would still live but would suffer a great deal of pain. Galbatorix's dragon was killed so he asked the Council of Elders for another dragon but they denied him therefore Galbatorix went insane and killed another dragon's Rider to take control of their dragon. Morzan (another Rider) helped him in doing so and soon 12 other Riders joined them to seek power. All of the Riders were soon destroyed apart from Oromis and his dragon, Glaedr. Now Galbatorix is King and he posses 3 eggs, 1 of which hatched for Eragon and 1 hatched for Murtagh (the dragon inside the egg chooses the Rider). Eragon opposes Galbatorix while Murtagh has been forced to pledge his loyalty to Galbatorix using the Ancient Language. In Eldest it is revealed that both Eragon and Murtagh are Morzan's son. The third egg has not yet hatched.

I hope Brisingr is not like Eldest because in Eldest, Christopher wrote about Roran (Eragon's cousin) and his adventures and I disliked that because I thought Roran's adventure was quite boring. Now Roran is reunited with Eragon so I hope there won't be anymore stories in his perspective. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves fantasy, adventure and mystery.
