Well, here goes a series (I really gotta stop doing JUST series!) that is different from the books on here up to date. Before I start, I would like to mention something. This series should get an honorable mention from me because when I was in sixth grade, I hated to read. I swear my reading level was around a third grader. But I wanted to see the the movie based on this book. My friend said she would take me only if I read the book. So that started me on my reading adventure. So here we go!
It all starts with a young boy. He is my age, 15. He is a young farm boy who knows nothing about his past, like who his parents are, why didn't they keep him, and what they were like. This boys name is Eragon. He lives with his uncle, Garrow, and cousin, Roran, in the small town of Carvahall in the country of Alagaësia. There is a legend about Alagaësia many years ago: a golden age. The people were free and they were protected by the Dragon Riders. But there was one Rider who wanted power. He gathered thirteen followers called the Forsworn. Together, they brought down and destroyed the Riders. From then on, the leader called himself king and now rules Alagaësia as the last Dragon Rider. His name is Galbatorix. Eragon has heard this story from a mysterious story teller named Brom. He kept saying that the Riders will rise once again and destroy Galbatorix.
One night, Eragon was hunting in the Spine, the deadly mountain range that runs the western coastline of Alagaësia. In this trip, there was an explosion that sent the deer Eragon was hunting running. In the middle of the clearing, there was a smooth, polished blue stone that appeared as if by magic. After a while, the stone started acting strange: it was moving! The stone turned out to be an egg that contained a dragon thay waited for thousands of years waiting for its Rider to show up. Eragon couldn't believe that he was chosen to be a Dragon Rider. When he touched the dragon, something shot through him like an electric shock. It left a shining mark that Eragon would soon know as the gedwëy ignasia of the shining palm.
Eventually, weird things started to occur in Carvahall. People in cloaks showed up looking for the stone Eragon found. These creatures were called Ra'zac. When they got a lead to where it was, Saphira, Eragon's dragon, took Eragon and flew him into the Spine to protect him. When they got back, the farm was burned down and Garrow was left dead. Eragon decided to flee Carvahall and he took Brom with him due to what he knew about dragons. Along the way, Eragon experiences visions about a beautiful woman he has never seen, he learns magic, he meets a stranger who, like him, is against Galbatorix's rule, and learns the truth about Alagaësia's Riders.
Follow Eragon, Saphira, Arya, Murtagh, The Varden (a group of people strong enough to stay out of Galbatorix's rule), and the elves of Du Weldenvarden as they try to overthrow Galbatorix and restore Alagaësia to it's peaceful state. Along the way, Eragon will have to battle through losses, fights with other Riders, find out the truth of his past, and learn the ways of the elves. I reccomend this series to anyone who enjoys books with dragons and magic. Some people might not give it a chance due to that, but come on! Give it a chance! The books in this series include Eragon, Eldest, Brisingr (fire in the Ancient Language), and a fourth book to be announced. Enjoy!!!
