I recently finished reading the book Inheritance, the long anticipated final installment in the series which started with Eragon. In the book, Eragon and his dragon Saphira finally confront the evil king Galbatorix who years before had betrayed and killed the Dragon Riders who were peace keepers in the land of Alegasia. This book was extremely well written by Christopher Paolini who, if I remember correctly started writing the series at the age of 15.

This was quite an amazing read. It is filed with epic battle scenes, one of which lasts for almost 200 pages. But it doesn’t only have epic battles between good and evil. Christopher also does great job on going into detail about the characters and their inner conflicts and feelings towards each other. To anyone who likes fantasy and straight up great writing and storytelling I highly recommend this series.  The ending was just as good as—if not better than—the beginning.
