Inheritance...just finished!

For Christmas I got given the last book in the Eragon set of books, (I know that this set of books is probably not called Eragon as this was the first book from it but I can't remember what it is called).

Anyhew...I just finished with it the other night and it's fantastic...really worth reading. Now at first when you see this book it may automatically put you off reading this as it is the size of a Harry Potter book but this is really no reason to not read it as for me it fills the void made by there being no more Harry Potter books, and if this book doesn't get made into a film I'll eat my hat as it has everything going for it that would look great up on the silver screen.

There's dragons, there's battles on an epic scale that involves all kinds of weapons from lances, swords, hammers and daggers. Also there are lots of different types of characters such as humans like Eragon, elves, Urgals, Werecats (these I have to say are my favourite characters in the book as they look like normal house cats but can turn into humans and they can also be used as spies fornoma information), dwarves and nomads, but also as well as these things to keep audiences on their feet is that all through this book it takes you through all the different battles at each different land that they have to go through in order to get to the Empire.

If I think it about it now this really is another author having a go at creating their own Middle Earth, except this world is Algaesia and not Middle Earth...and the Varden are a group of rebels who are trying to overthrown the mad leader of the Empire Gallbartorix instead of there being Hobbits and dwarves founding the Fellowship to overthrow Saroman.

Also through this book there is many different languages such as the ancient language for things, the elves language, the Urgal language, the dwarves language and the nomad language...but in case you missed Harry Potter too much there is a lot of magic in this book that happens.

So it is fair this is a book for everyone to enjoy as it is an action adventure fantasy story, so if it did get snapped up to become a film then everyone could go...but probably not very young children as there are some scenes in the book which show mental but not physical torture happening.

So I would desperatly urge you even if your not looking for a really good book to read over the next couple of weeks,-and I really would take your time with this book so that you can focus on all the things happening in the book, but I would also advise that you schedule some time to read this as of it's size-, to go down to your nearest book shop and read this!
