Eragon is a book about a boy who learns that he is destined to be a dragon rider and his journey to become one. The characterization in Eragon is great for Eragon himself I understood how he felt at all times. The author did this by describing Eragon with such vivid language that it was hard not to know how Eragon was feeling or thinking. For example, “Yes, said Eragon miserably, but Torkenbrand was helpless. He couldn’t shield himself or run. A moment more and he probably would have surrendered. Murtagh didn’t give him that chance. If Torkenbrand had at least fight, it wouldn’t be as bad” (Paolini 354). The author shows how Eragon felt as he dealt with death of an enemy, even though he was bad he still said he deserved the chance to live. The author did great in recognizing that he was still a young boy so the story was told like so. during the beginning when he was in his hometown he was so naive but the author shows him growing throughout the book. However, it was difficult at points to understand other characters and how they were because the text was so focused on Eragon which is not bad because it shows events unfolding through Eragon’s .The text makes you feel like you’re a part of the story. The author does an amazing job in plot development. He introduces everything at the right moments there is also a lot of suspense for this kind of book. The way the plot is written is so that everything that happens is expected but not really you still have those surprises which makes it amazing because it gives the reader a moment of awe like you never thought it would happen but it makes sense. Overall Eragon is a well written book that keeps me intrigued even to the end I and recommend it to anyone who likes anyone fantasy novel.
