Brisingr Review

Hello crazies and welcome to another review this time it into a land of magic and adventure. Who doesn't love a good high fantasy series? This land of magic is populated by elves, dwarves and humans along with other magical creatures; its the land of the Dragon Riders of Christopher Paolini's Inheritance Cycle. The novel in question is the third book in the four part series, Brisingr. What brought me to read this series was in fact the average fantasy film of the first book, Eragon, in which a poor farm boy hatches a dragon from an egg. I know what some of you might be thinking, how could you enjoy the movie that didn't do the book justice. I say that the movie made me want to read and develop my understanding of the series with the characters and legends.

What is there to say about Brisingr by Christopher Paolini? The only thing coming to mind would to utter the words epic fantasy and by George that is exactly what this novel is. It contains within its seven hundred and forty-eight pages everything that a fantasy should contain. You have a system of magic, an evil entity that need to be stopped and religion. This has it all the only downside to the novel would be the so-called "ancient language" and many other languages. With the languages the read becomes a little slow around them, but is an interesting tool however I think less is more in regards to the languages. All in all, a most read for any fantasy lover looking for a epic read. This has been your surrogate crazy signing off, live in let live.
