Inheritance

Christopher Paolini's fourth installment in the series that began with Eragon, is another example of wonderful writing.  Inheritance continues the story that evolved through Eldest and Brisingr , and is full of action-packed battles, tense moments and the evolving relationships between Eragon, Arya, Saphira the dragon and Eragon's many family and friends.  The book is a big time investment (it's 850 pages) but it is well worth it for the reader.  The reader learns a few huge secrets that change the action of the story and will definitely surprise any person who is invested in the plot.  The end of the story leaves enough tendrils hanging that there could be a fifth novel written in the series.  Christopher Paolini is a young adult author who has improved his writing as he has written each book.  Paolini draws inspiration for the world of Eragon and Saphira from the natural beauty that surrounds his home in Montana--the tumultuous weather, the Yellowstone River and the great Beartooth Mountains.  You can discover more information about Christopher Paolini and the Inheritance cyle of books at www.Alagaesia.com.  Inheritance is a great fantasy novel that will leave the reader entranced with the world of elves, dwarves, urgals and dragons.
