Brisingr - a review

Brisingr
Brisingr is the third exciting instalment in Christopher Paolini’s Inheritance Cycle (formerly trilogy).

In this new book, Eragon and his dragon, Saphira (the main characters) are thrown into a net of promises he may be able to keep. Promises that will take him all across Alagaisia, through many battles, and confrontations with the most dangerous creatures, each time coming one step closer to the evil King Galbatorix.

This book is perfect for any fantasy lover from 11 and up. Brisingr is rich with both history and mystery, and is complete with everything magical from dragons to dwarves and much more!

It is amazing to see the amount of detail Paolini has put into the races of his fantasy world, creating languages, religions and customs for each one. The reader will be buried in the magical world of Alagaisia and its history and people, and will be reluctant to put it down, even when they have finished!

I recommend the first and second books of the Inheritance Cycle also. They are Eragon and Eldest.

Deltora Quest Series

by Daniel

The first novel in this amazing set of 3 series… is “The Forests of Silence.” Emily Rodda is an amazing artist of fictional literature. She has created a whole world in which the reader can immerse his or her self.

I have immersed myself in the Deltoran culture a multitude of times. My favourite part of the series was the Pirran Pipe. Although unrealistic and unearthly in certain contexts, Rodda still manages a great novel. The main character of the book, Lief, heir to the throne, is quite like the little bit of adventure inside all of us, trying anything.

Overall, I rate this series an 9/10. This is because I found out that there was only going to be a third series…

Marc McBride, the illustrator of the novel covers and the illustrator of books such as “The Deltora book of Monsters’, was kind enough to autograph my copy of “The Forests of Silence” when I met him in year 5. A very kind, free-spirited person he was, spraying a great picture in minutes.
