Inheritance

Inheritance is fourth and final book in Christopher Paolini’s fiction series witch the most of you might recognize as Eragorn. The book were published in autumn of 2011 when first part were published in 2003. The story tells about medieval country isolated from world whit smaller trade country. First country is huge and divided by rivers, ancient forests guarded by elves, mountains inhabited by dwarfs and deserts, whole place is still rounded whit mountains and undiscovered sea. The country is enslaved by mad tyrant who is the last dragon rider, who betrayed and killed them all expect some who allied whit him. Magic is the ultimate weapon in this world where one wizard can eliminate dozens regular soldiers whiting a eye flick. King uses it to keep people obey. However rebellion rises it’s head as new dragon rider Eragorn born’s. Previous books tells about Eragorn’s journey whit the rebellion movement and inheritance tells mostly about war between rebellion and old king.

Paolini has been criticized by the naive and cliche but I don’t find it any disturbing though at the two last books the power that’s being used in any battles starts to grow a bit       ridiculous if you compere it to first books where Eragorn uses all his might to escape the kings men and in Inheritance he takes out whit help of ten elite elf wizard whole castle. That doesn’t bother to much because enemy’s strength increases as well. After all battles are not this book’s strength, the story telling is. Book describes well characters from teen to madness. and makes it so that it’s gripping. I try to avoid to spoil the story for those who want to read the book but I can tell that if you read lot of fiction it’s quite predictable, but very satisfying. Eragorn is quite yang trough book but grows into quite ass in the end when the king is defeated and I think its because writer wanted a happy ending. It’s not spoiling the story and fits the contest well so I leave it to you to judge it.
