Published 2005

My given rating (1 being highest 5 being lowest): 1

MAIN CONFLICT: Eragon must train with the elves and
the Varden must ready themselves for a great war, but
there is little supplies, and the whole of Carvahall
is being attacked by the empire and must escape!

SETTING: In Alagaesia

MAIN CHARACTERS: Eragon who is a rider and the hero
and Saphira who is Eragon’s brave and cunning dragon.
These main characters are believable and very
interesting.

DIRECT QUOTATION: “You and I are the same, Eragon.
Mirror images of one another. You can’t deny it.”
recited by Murtagh, page 652

This is a great book to read because it makes the
reader wonder what is going to happen next.

There is no reason not to read this book.

I absolutely loved this book because there was never a
dull moment and events that are the most unlikely to
happen actually happen!
