Eragon: Collector's Edition (The Inheritance cycle): Written by Christopher Paolini, 2013 Edition, (Collectors' Edition) Publisher: Doubleday Childrens [Hardcover]

Product Information

For those unfamiliar with the Inheritance Cycle, it is a four-book fantasy series that follows the adventures of a young farm boy named Eragon and his dragon Saphira, as they battle against an evil king and his army. The series is known for its intricate world-building, complex characters, and thrilling action sequences. Christopher's journey to becoming a globally beloved publishing phenomenon is as magical as the fantasy novels he writes. Christopher was homeschooled by his parents and often wrote short stories and poems, made frequent trips to the library, and read widely. He was fifteen when he wrote the first draft of Eragon and his family self-published the book in 2001. Unusual, powerful . . . fresh and fluid. An impressive start to a writing career that's sure to flourish." --"Booklist", Starred Today we`re sharing just a few of our faves! Did your OTP make the list? If so make sure you share it so all your fairy friends know who your ride or die bookish couple is! And the words - oh my, Paolini's words. Look at how they are put together. Look at the rich description. That's not plagiarized. That IS original. Look at how he puts together ideas and plots and describes emotions, characters, colors, scents, the change of seasons, the change of terrain - that is all original. The WAY in which he put together his words, is original to him. It's his personal writing voice. Everybody has a writing voice. Some voices ought to be quiet, frankly, because they are that bad. Some voices should be trumpeted.
