Dear Julio,
I have finished the fantastic book, Eragon. The book is by Christopher Paolini. He was a bestselling author at nineteen years old. I will try to shorten the RJ because the rest of the book is 400 pages. You may not understand what I am talking about until you read my last RJ.
Continuing my last RJ, Eragon woke up in the town healers room. His went to visit his uncle, Garrow. When he saw him, he asked about his condition. The healer replied not well. A day later Garrow died. Eragon was bent on revenge when he overheard them say that. The next day he went to the leather store and stole leather even if he felt guilty about it. He put them in a treeline away from the town and went to go steal meat from the butcher, Sloan. When he came back he saw Brom, the town storyteller, waiting for him. Brom knew a lot about dragons and their history. Brom told Eragon to bring him with him. After a few declines Eragon just let him come.
They left and went for a area to camp. Brom then made a sattle for Eragon's dragon, Saphira. They went to a little town and bought horses there. They then went to various cities trying to find the Ra'zac. Brom told Eragon who killed his uncle. He told them that it was a monster called the Ra'zac. They were half bird half human. He had to know this because he was a Rider. A Rider is a person part of the Riders(notice the S). The were a group of people who had dragons and used them to keep peace. The were betrayed by one of their members and he is now king of the land.
They arrived to one village and saw that there was a massacre. All the people of the town were dead and staked in the town square. Brom saw Urgal footprints and commanded Eragon to exit the city. But before they could reach the gate, two Urgals jumped out and attacked. Eragon ran into a ally way with a dead end. He thought about the dead people in the square and there was a power in him that he wanted to force out. he pulled out his bow-and-arrow, yelled Brisngr, and fired the arrow. The arrow caught on fire and killed both Urgals. Brom told him he used magic and could have killed himself if he used too much energy. Now, on the trip Brom taught him how to use magic and the ancient language that was spoken when casting it.
They went to many places until finding a bottle of oil that burned and living organism. Brom told him that the Ra'zac usually carry this oil. When he heard this he asked where does it come from. Brom told him another island and is shipped here. Eragon then came up with the idea of looking thought the shipping records. Brom also said his friend in the city where the records are,Jeod , can help us.When they arrived, they wen tto see Jeod. They made a plan to see the records without letting people know.
Until that day, Eragon wandered around the city. He went to the herbalist shop next door. He found out that the owner was actually a witch. She told Eragon fortune and it was good and bad. It said that a friend will betray, your life will be long( Riders will have a ling life), a friend will die, you will chose what road you will go down, but only one will lead to happiness, and you will be banished from these lands. After Eragon left he pondered these words.
When the day came to take the records, they went at night, bribed the guard, and went in. They copied everything, but they were found outside the room leaving. The guards checked the door but it was already locked because Brom used magic to lock it. They left feeling accomplished.They found out that the most likely place where the Ra'zac are is in another town farther south. Brom and Eragon went there and no sooner than a few days Eragon found the Ra'zac. He was in a hallway when he looked back and saw them. He ran because he also heard soldiers coming. He knew the soldier were with the Ra'zac. He ran all the way to where he stayed and told Brom that they had to escape the city.
They ran all the way close to the desert. They camped but the Ra'zac found them and clained them and Saphira. All of a sudden, they were being attacked by arrows. They fled but threw a knife that Brom jumped in front of the save Eragon. Eragon then fainted. He woke up seeing a stranger named Murtagh. They both wanted to kill the Ra'zac. They found refuge in a land of hills and Brom showed that he was a Rider, too. He then died after telling Eragon his name in the ancient language.
After that, they went to a place where Brom's friend stayed but Urgals attacked and Eragon was captures. He then found an elf he keeps seeing in his dreams and rescued her when Murtagh rescued them. The elf was in a coma but Eragon read her mind and found our where the Varden are. The Varden are the rebels against the Empire( Not Starwars Empire). They found them hidden in a mountain. The Elf was healed and she was the one that was thought to be killed during first chapter. Her name was Arya.
Eragon was sleeping one day but was woken up to and urgent call. He was snt to the king of Varden, Ahjiad. There was going to be an attack by the Urgals. They prepared and waited. When to attacked started, they fought gallantly. They were fighting but Eragon had to go back because they were making a tunnel to trap the troops. He went to the tunnel and saw the Shade. He read his mind which caused the Shade to feel pain but Eragon couldn't stop the flowing images and the Shade got up and sliced Eragon in the back with a sword. Eraogn fell to the floor. When the Shade was about to deliver a death blow, the roof above broke and Arya and Saphira were attacking. Eragon saw that Saphira was breathing fir her first time but the Shade was about to use magic to kill Saphira and Arya. Eragon got up yelled brisingr and stab the Shade in the back with the flaming sword. Eragon fainted after that( again).
Eragon woke up in the healers place after having a dream that had a person saying meet him where the elves are. He learned that they had won the battle and when the Shade's spirit went away the Urgal clans started fighting each other. Eragon then remembered the dream and promised that he would go to the person.
My favorite part of the book was when Eragon knew the battle was won. I liked that part because it was a great ending for the book. My least favorite part was when Brom died. It was very sad after he had been on the journey with Eragon after all those months. Hoped you liked my (very long) RJ!
Your friend,
Alexander Yan
