Current Reading: Inheritance

I'm currently reading the last book in the Eragon Series aka The Inheritance Cycle, by Christopher Paolini.  The series is unique due to the incredibly young age of the author.  These fantasy books cross age boundaries from older children's literature to teen and adult interest, readers need to be ready to encounter battle violence and emotional conflicts that surround budding hormones.   The story line moves swiftly with a great deal of action, self-discovery and the revelation of a highly developed detailed setting: the world of Alagaesia.  This enjoyable fantasy series does reflect the youthfulness of the author's perspective, but it is a must read for die-hard fantasy fans.
