At Christmas i got the book Brisingr. I already had the previous two books so i decided to reread the series and here is my review.

The Eragon book series review

In Eragon (first book) the adventure starts when Eragon ,a simple farm boy, finds a strange blue stone in the forests of the Spine. He thinks it will make his family's riches but when a dragon hatchling named Saphira breaks out of the stone he realises that he has stumbled upon an ancient legacy.Then the Ra'zac appear and they destroy his old farmhouse and kill Eragons uncle ,Garrow. Driven by revenge ,Eragon chases the Ra'zac acompanied by the mysterious village storyteller ,Brom. He goes to the Varden just before the battle of Farthen Dur and in the heat of battle kills the Shade ,Durza.

In Eldest (second book) Eragon's cousin Roran fights a new battle back home in Carvhall . And Eragon must go to Ellesmera ,the heart of elvendom in Alagaesia for further training in the skills of a Dragon Rider.
