Book 1: Eragon
Eragon finds a cool blue stone in the forest and wonders if he can sell it. But a few days later it hatches into a dragon. He must care for his dragon, and go on a quest with the storyteller Brom to defeat the Razac and join the Varden. But the empire wants him at his side. Can he make it to the Varden alive or will the Razac stop him in his tracks?
I thought this book had lots of great adventures, exciting battles, and lots of action overall. One of my favourite parts is when they were in the town Gil’ead. After they got captured, they had to escape but a Shade, somebody controlled by evil spirits, and one of the Empire’s armies was trying to stop them. I also liked when Eragon and Brom had an intense battle with three Urgals in an abandoned city.
If you like books with long adventures, then this is the book for you. This is the best mythical creature story I’ve read and I think Christopher Paolilni did a great job with this book. This book is the first out of four in the series.
