Up on Fully-Booked: Dragons, dragon, elves, dwarves, humans and anything in between on Christopher Paolini's Eragon.




     On my Fully-Booked chronicles, I always make it a point to not only write things about Fully-Booked but to also find a book which is worth sharing to you, my dear readers. And yes, all of the books that I've featured, and will be featuring, are all available in Fully-Booked. If ever you want to skim some of the pages in a particular book before buying, feel free to tell it to any of the Fully-Booked employees, they are more than willing to let you. Such is the service provided by Fully-Booked. 

     Introductions and side stories aside, what I'm featuring now is Christopher Paolini's Eragon series. It a a four-book story which is my all-time favorite, next to Rowling's Harry Potter, of course. 



     Eragon is about a poor farm boy named, yes you got it right, Eragon, who found a dragon egg in the woods. The dragon egg was stolen by elves who were ambushed by the minions of an evil tyrant king who owned the egg. The elves, upon realizing that they are about to meet their own demise, transported the egg to the person loyal to their cause. But something went awry with their spell, and instead the egg was transported near Eragon. Eragon, at the time, did not know that the egg was in fact, a dragon egg because it was shiny and as hard as a diamond. He then kept it for the purpose of making money, but the night came and the egg hatched for him. Eragon then, became a master of the dragon, or a dragon rider.

     A dragon rider is one who oversees peace in the continent where Eragon lives in. However, after becomig a dragon rider, it was not unknown to the tyrant king who was a dragon rider himself too. This is where things get interesting. 

     I'm not about to divulge the meat of the book, since that would be a major spoiler, and I don't want to spoil other people. Instead, I urge you to buy the book. Don't mind the movie Eragon, it did not do the book justice. If you need any more details about the book, go to the Fully-Booked store and they could explain more about it.
