Eragon, Eldest, Brisingr, by Christopher Paolini



I hardly need to tell anyone what fun this series is to read - but if the purpose of this blog is to talk about the books I've been reading, then these 3 are the reason I haven't entered any new postings in quite a while. I think each of these books is better than the one before it, and that isn't always the case with books in series. The action is fast paced and the host of human and magical characters that we meet in the saga are never dull. Eragon, with his dragon Saphira at his side, grows up to claim a destiny that the young man never dreamed of. Friendships, loyalties, and love that he finds along the way steady him as he fights old evils and new foes, with treachery where he least expects it. A teriffic fantasy series.
