Book Inheritance Third Trilogy

 

Fans who have followed Eragon’s epic journey through books 1 – 3 of the Inheritance series finally have closure.  It has been a long journey as book 1, Eragon, was published in 2003.  Random House published Eldest, the second in the series, in 2005, and Brinsingr, the third of the series, in 2008.  We can’t wait to learn Saphira’s and Eragon’s fate as the face-off between good and evil looms.  To celebrate Paolini’s epic conclusion, we’ve gathered up some great, free Inheritance series resources for our followers.  And to thank you fabulous followers, we’re giving away a hard cover copy of Inheritance !

There are still a few weeks of summer left before the sharpened pencils get a workout, so spend some time re-reading the series and working on some fun activities.We’ve created a spelling/vocabulary list of our very favorite words used in the series.  Surely we’ll add words to the list after we read Inheritance, but there are already 172 great words on the list, complete with definitions.

Review: Brisingr

This is the third book in the Inheritance Cycle, after Eldest.

I really enjoyed reading this book, as much as I enjoyed reading the last two – if not even more!

One thing I really loved about the second book (Eldest) was how in-depth it into the characters and the culture and histories. And this book has exactly that too! Except instead of the elves, in this book Eragon goes and spends a lot of time with the dwarfs (and I found it equally interesting).

There is a great contrast between this book and the last one is really good too, as in the last book there’s a lot to do with nature and light when he visits the elves, whereas in this book it’s a lot more about dark caves and stone and tunnels when he visits the dwarves.

This book is absolutely brilliant! I really started to make sense of past events through-out the whole Inheritance Cycle, I found myself saying, “Oh, I get it now” and “Of course” a lot! Even the way you discover things (like the truth about a family or event) is really good, because you see the hints you have been given throughout the book and when it’s revealed I kept thinking,  “how could I not have figured that out!!” It makes the book that bit better.

But that’s not all there are some brilliant discoveries that Eragon makes concerning the whole of Alagaesia – and magic, it made me even more excited about the next book!
