The Inheritance Cycle
K. S. Jent
Eragon is one of the best books I' ve read in my fifteen years of life. The characters are awesome, the action is incredible, and the plot is spine tingling. It starts off showing how a fifteen year farmboy named Eragon finds an amazingly polished stone. The stone which is actually an egg, which hatches not too long afterwards, and out popped a dragon. Eragon, fearful of having to get rid of it, raises the dragon in secret. Just when Saphira (the dragon) learns to fly, fearful creatures called the Ra 'zac, summoned by the king, come to the town. Saphira, frightened of these ghastly creatures kidnaps Eragon and takes him to a remote location. After much begging and pleading, Eragon convinces Saphira to go back only to find that his house is burned and his Uncle is dead. With rage in his eyes Eragon sets off on a quest to find the Ra 'zac accompined by a knowledgable storyteller named Brom. In the middle Eragon travels throught Alagesia finally landing in the secret base of a rebel group called the Varden. There a vicious battle occurs between the Varden and the King's Forces. Eragon is horribly wounded and while lying in a state of unconscieness, a mysterious voice announces himself and tells Eragon to visit him in the elves' kingdom.
. Eldest is also a excellent book. Paolini describes a lot more in this one and we get to know more characters. Eldest is a little better than Eragon because Eldest has one of the best war scences ever created. Eldest sets off with Eragon walking through the bloodied battlefield and a suprise attack kills one of the Varden's leader and takes Eragon's friend Murtagh, who he met while traveling through Alagesia, prisoner. Eragon then goes to Ellesmera, the elves' kingdom and trains with the last remaining dragon rider Vrail. Eragon, during one of the elves holiday undegoes a massive transformation blending human and elf. The rest of the book is him preparing for a battle that has a surprise ending.
These are the first two books and I defiantly recommend reading them.
