Brisingr, Eldest and Eragon by Christopher Paolini. The problem with reading a trilogy is that they all get blended in my mind. I can't really think of just one book, they are all one in my brain. I bought Brisingr when it was realeased but it sat on the shelf for months. I was determined to finish the Inkheart books first, which I eventually did.

Finally I started Eragon again, because you know my brain could never remember the whole story for that long. It is a good thing I started over at the beginning. I had even forgotten Brom! Horror of horrors, he is a very important character in the books. I enjoyed all of the books and can't wait for the next one. However, it is obvious that a young man wrote them. To much fighting and over the top descriptions of the fighting, bleh.

I love the toughness of the characters. Eragon fell into his destiny somewhat accidentally, yet he did a great job with what he had. His cousin was strong and determined to fight to protect family and home. The leader of the Varden was a brilliant politician and made difficult choices when she had to. Anywho, I always think about what I want to act like when I am in a predicament, and emergency or if I found a dragon egg. I would like to be like Eragon, Nasuada and the cousin (Ro...what's his name?) and Katrina. I also loved the dwarf. Fun descriptions of the cities. I even tried singing to some trees to see if I could make a little funiture or something. Hasn't worked yet!
Can't wait for the next book!!
It was also fun to hear the kids talking about Mama's dragon books.
