Eragon

Eragon is the second best book I've ever read and before I tell you about it (which I know you want me to) I must give shout outs to two people. Christopher Paolini the second best author ever (if you're wondering J.K Rowling is the first in my opinion, because she wrote Harry Potter which is the best book I've ever read), and Jason Winsor or Brother Winsor a friend of my parents in our ward. It all happens when the evil King Galbatorix and his empire are in battle against the Varden who have help with the dwarfs and elves. In the ancient land of Algeisia in the Du Weldenvarden Forest there is an ambush waiting for the Varden twelve Urgels and a Shade are part of the trap. While the Urgels are large, ugly, and stupid they are vicious in battle the Shade is more powerful then fifty Urgels the shade uses Dark Magic to overpower enemies. As a band of elves on horses draws closer they are showered urgle arrows. Two of the elves are hit but only the third one survives long enough to use magic to transport the blue dragon egg to the dangerous Spine forest. While the young boy Eragon hunts in the Spine there is a small explosion nearby that startles the herd of dear he was hunting then he finds the egg and heads home thinking he can get a few crowns (money) for it. Then in the middle of the night the egg hatches and when Eragon touches the baby dragon he gets a gedwey ignasia ( that's ancient language for the glowing palm). Then he meets Brom a skilled old man who teaches him about dragons but then the Ra'zac come and kill Garrow Eragon's dad. The Ra'zac are ruthless hunters, assassins and spy's for the Empire who can leap far distances, run at amazing speeds, and have beak and eyes that are as big as a fist. Eragon hurries and rides away on Saphira's (that's the dragons name) back. When he gets back his house is destroyed Garrow is dead and all that riding rubbed all skin off his legs (because of Saphira's scales). While him and Brom are traveling they come past a town where everyone in it's dead and there are still two Urgels left who attack him and Brom. Eragon then uses the magic word Brisinger (Fire) while shooting an arrow. The arrow then hits one urgel in the forehead killing him while the shock wave kills the other. More urgels attack him so then he says Nagz riesa (rise, slam) dozens of them slam into trees and walls. He is then captured by the Ra'zac. Brom rescues him but dies doing it. He then meets Murtagh who helps him get across the Hardarac desert to the Varden with the elf from the beginning who is terribly sick. When he gets to the Varden they are preparing for war with Urgels. When the thousands of urgels come streaming in the Varden shower them with arrows and burning oil. Eragon then battles the shade and kills him. The urgels are all confused and start attacking each other. I really liked the book and I recommend it to everyone.
