Brisingr


 Brisingr By: Christopher Paolini

I know I sound like a broken record, but I have seriously enjoyed revisiting this series. It's been fun to revisit and see the character developments through each book. I think if I had just read his new book Murtagh without revisiting this series I probably would have been fairly lost. There is a lot that I forgot and revisiting this I think is going to pay off when reading Murtagh. One more in the series before I can start the new book.....I cant wait.

Eldest

 


Eldest By Christopher Paolini

It has been so much fun re-reading this series. It's fun to revisit and see how many details I have forgotten in these stories. The character development is also intriguing. Having a different perspective and more life experience the second time reading this. I feel that I can see a bit of insight into the author's personality this time. What he feels is important, and what he values as well as how he views the various roles of leaders, diplomats, and heads of state and genders in general. Given that he wrote this series as a teenager and then recently came out with another book to go with it. I'm interested to see how his writing style is going to differ.
