The SSR book I read first quarter was Eragon by Christopher Paolini, it is a young adult fiction, Fantasy, Utopian and dystopian fiction, and bildungsroman novel. This book has a total page count of 544 and published on August 26, 2003. It´s about a boy named Eragon who lives in a remote village with his uncle Garrow and his cousin Roran. He´s enjoys hunting in a ominous forest named the spine; one day in the spine, Eragon was hunting a deer when he found a blue stone smoother and hollower than any he had seen before. He ended up taking it back to his farm and kept it hidden until one day a baby dragon hatched from it. Two of the kings servants come down to carvahall to look for something and they end up killing Eragon´s uncle. Eragon manages to escape carvahall along with the town storyteller, Brom, who forced himself to come with Eragon and his dragon. Eragon´s journey begins then: his mission to kill the raz´zac.
Eragon is fifteen years old when the novel takes off, he is a shy boy who is only good at help farming and huntig with bow and arrow. As the novel goes on and his dragon grows with him, he becomes more and more confident and older compared to his old self. He travels with the storyteller who teaches him magic and sword-fighting on the journey. As the story progresses and the characters develop I felt as though I grew some sort of connection with the characters, and in my mind of watching them grow, it was my favorite part. This is by far the best novel I have read in all of high school and am glad to say that this is only book one of a four book series.
