I really enjoyed having the chance to write a book as if I were Eragon; to draw glyphs from the elves’ writing system, the Liduen Kvaedhí (including the glyph for Brisingr!)".

Paolini is a master of his craft, creating such a beautiful world and intricate characters. I know a lot of people find Eragon annoying and immature....he's 15 and 16 in this book, it's expected for him to be so! It makes him realistic in circumstances that are so fantastical, which I really appreciate in a good character. But we also see him grow a lot in his maturity, not just in the series but just in this first book. I love how Paolini develops his characters, including Eragon. Christopher Paolini was born in Southern California and lived most of his life in Paradise Valley, Montana. The tall, jagged Beartooth Mountains that rise on one side of Paradise Valley inspired the fantastic scenery in Eragon, the first novel in his Inheritance Cycle. And the world....few authors have captured by heart and dreams the way Paolini has with Alagaesia. The lore and history and magic and landscapes and just all of it is stunning and has had my mind in a chokehold for over a decade. I find something new every time I read Eragon which is a testament to the quality of the writing, in my opinion.

Today we`re sharing just a few of our faves! Did your OTP make the list? If so make sure you share it so all your fairy friends know who your ride or die bookish couple is! Unusual, powerful . . . fresh and fluid. An impressive start to a writing career that s sure to flourish. "Booklist," Starred And the words - oh my, Paolini's words. Look at how they are put together. Look at the rich description. That's not plagiarized. That IS original. Look at how he puts together ideas and plots and describes emotions, characters, colors, scents, the change of seasons, the change of terrain - that is all original. The WAY in which he put together his words, is original to him. It's his personal writing voice. Everybody has a writing voice. Some voices ought to be quiet, frankly, because they are that bad. Some voices should be trumpeted. In fact, good writers are always influenced to some degree by those whom they have read. That's usually how they end up becoming GOOD WRITERS. Is it a perfect book? No. Is it wonderful all the same? Yes. The storytelling is masterful, the characters real, and the world building/lore/magic intricate, the plot captivating.

I'm currently re-reading the books before reading "the fork the witch and the worm". I've stumbled upon Liduen Kvaedhi which is a special script invented by the elves for writing in TAL. Oromis tells Eragon that Liduen Kvaedhi is based upon 42 basic letters, and these letters can be rearranged into an infinte amount of glyphs. An authentic work of great talent . . . I found myself dreaming about it at night, and reaching for it as soon as I woke." ─Liz Rosenberg, The New York Times Book Review
