The book in this spot is one I have been waiting for a while: The Fork, the Witch and the Worm by Christopher Paolini. I first heard about Eragon when the trailers for the movie version started showing in 2006. My friend had already read the book and loved it. She encouraged me to read it as well. I have loved the books ever since.
Expectations:
With this new book, I'm excited to go back into the world of Alagaesia and find my favorite characters on their journeys. Many authors choose to leave their stories where they end them because they don't want to abuse the story. Christopher Paolini has so much room to play within his world. I know I am not the only fan to waiting to see what becomes of Eragon, Saphira, Arya, Roran, and Murtagh. world.
When Christopher Paolini first announced this book I was interested in learning more about his sister Angela the person that was used to create his fictional character, Angela the herbalist. Angela quickly became one of my favorite characters in the book because she happened to know so much and helped solve problems without giving away her secrets and she would show up when she was least expected. She's very quirky and isn't afraid to call each character out when they are acting foolish. I loved Angela and Eragon's interaction this time. He is catching on to her way of talking and thinking but only briefly; he can't catch up to her level of cleverness!
During the book:
The Fork, the Witch, and the Worm didn't take me long to read. I wasn't sure what to expect when I first started reading. I was happily surprised to see Murtagh make an appearance in the first couple of chapters. Not only was Murtagh alive and well, but he was also in pursuit of an uncommon and unlikely item.
In the last section, The Worm is a story by the Urgals telling of an encounter with a dragon in the past. Eragon is starstruck while listening to the history of the beasts that lived long ago in Alagaesia.
Would I recommend this book? Yes.
You should read the Inheritance Cycle. If you have any more questions visit Paolini.net
