Brisingr

I have read the first 486 pages of Brisingr by Christopher Paolini. It is the newest book in the Inheritance series. I have really enjoyed reading the Eragon series, although it can be annoying how stupid Eragon can be at times. In the Inheritance series my favorite book is Eragon, however I have really enjoyed reading Brisingr so far. I plan to finish this book soon because I like the Inheritance series and I am looking forward to reading the last book of the series when it comes out. My favorite character is Saphira, the dragon that bonded with Eragon. Saphira is very powerful and intelligent, unlike Eragon. Saphira will always try and think things out and not make rash plans. She will try and be careful and won't do many stupid things. This is very unlike Eragon. Eragon always charges into battle without any idea about what to do. He constantly makes rash decisions without thinking them through thoroughly. He always binds himself to people by swearing oaths to them, so that he ends up being trapped by all the promises he has made. Eragon will also cast spells that require too much energy and nearly kill him, making it so that he has to either rely on someone else to help him, or take energy from plants and animals near by. He is also very quick to anger and take offense and he won't forgive very easily. But, Eragon does have some good points. He and Saphira are very caring and always want to help people. Together they have teamed up with another group of people, the Varden, to fight against the evil dictator of the land. They also try and help everyone however they can.
