About This Book
Here's a great big fantasy that you can pull over your head like a comfy
old sweater and disappear into for a whole weekend. Christopher Paolini
began Eragon when he was just 15, and the book shows the influence of
Tolkien, of course, but also Terry Brooks, Anne McCaffrey, and perhaps
even Wagner in its traditional quest structure and the generally
agreed-upon nature of dwarves, elves, dragons, and heroic warfare with
magic swords.
Eragon, a young farm boy, finds a marvelous blue stone in a mystical
mountain place. Before he can trade it for food to get his family
through the hard winter, it hatches a beautiful sapphire-blue dragon, a
race thought to be extinct. Eragon bonds with the dragon, and when his
family is killed by the marauding Ra'zac, he discovers that he is the
last of the Dragon Riders, fated to play a decisive part in the coming
war between the human but hidden Varden, dwarves, elves, the diabolical
Shades and their neanderthal Urgalls, all pitted against and allied with
each other and the evil King Galbatorix. Eragon and his dragon Saphira
set out to find their role, growing in magic power and understanding of
the complex political situation as they endure perilous travels and
sudden battles, dire wounds, capture and escape.
In spite of the engrossing action, this is not a book for the casual
fantasy reader. There are 65 names of people, horses, and dragons to be
remembered and lots of pseudo-Celtic places, magic words, and phrases in
the Ancient Language as well as the speech of the dwarfs and the Urgalls.
But the maps and glossaries help, and by the end, readers will be
utterly dedicated and eager for the next book, Eldest. --Patty
