BrisingerBrisinger, although difficult to pronounce, is one of the best books I have read. Weird names aside, this book is surprisingly easy to read. This book is the third book in the Inheritance cycle, written by Christopher Paolini. This book is an action-packed thriller until the end, full of dragons, magic and sword fighting characters. If you like fantasy, this book series is for you. I chose this book because it is one of my favorite books of all time. I haven't read it recently, in the last couple of years, so I decided to re-read it and try to look more at the finer points of his writing, like the symbolism. I actually did this because I was curious to see if age and maturity had anything to do with how we perceive the material. I first read this book when I was 12 after my best friend recommended this book series to me. I have easily read this book more than ten times, but having not read it recently, I wondered whether or not I still had any misconceptions about the book. Just a little bit of context for the first two books. The premise of the book is that, in this book, dragons are sentient beings who communicate with their minds. These dragons are paired with a rider as part of a pact to maintain peace between the races of the land and the dragons. After a mad young dragon knight named Galbatorix and his dragon gathered followers began a war, killing nearly all of the dragons and their riders, then the young knight turned against his followers and massacred them, crowning himself over the Empire of Earth of men. The main characters are a young man named Eragon, the dragon he is bonded to called Saphira. Eragon was accidentally transported by a stolen dragon egg, and when Saphira hatched for him, he was hunted by the men of the Empire. At the end he runs into… middle of the paper… showed you the characters, made them what they were. As you probably know, dialogue can make or break a scene. This dialogue often captured the moment of the books, from the suspense of a council of dwarves, to the intensity of a battle, to the sweetness of a wedding. The dialogue is also well-tailored to the characters themselves, as characters who started out seriously stayed serious, while characters who started out sarcastically stayed sarcastically. Without this impressive level of dialogue, the characterization of this book would suffer immensely. Trying to reread this book without prejudice was difficult but rewarding. Reading this book again really made me realize what I fell in love with in the first place. The vivid descriptions, thoughtful dialogue and fast-paced action truly nourish your senses. This book nourishes the imagination, body and soul.
