Eragon (Post #2)

“The arrow hiss through the air, glowing with a crackling blue light. It struck the lead Urgal on the forehead, and the air resounded with an explosion. A blue shock wave blasted out of the monster’s head, killing the other Urgal instantly. It reached Eragon before he had time to react, and it passed through him without harm, dissipating against the houses.”

I love this paragraph. It is just sweet. I personally wish I had the ability to fire explosive arrows at two gigantic monsters. This book really feeds my imagination very well. I can picture in my head all of the settings and events that take place throughout the book. I can see the ransacked town, I can see the beautiful sapphire dragon, I can just see everything. It makes me wish I was back in those times, but of course with the magic and creatures thrown in. I’m only on page 150 but I can see this book is beginning to get great and exciting. Eragon and the wise old Brom have just begun their adventure. Saphira has become a huge creature and is no stupid animal. Eragon is also beginning to grow. He has discovered magic and an ability to connect with the minds of animals. Brom is slowly teaching more over the days and is straining Eragon to his breaking point both physically and mentally. Not bad for an old man. Now I am wondering, since the old man has more to him than meets the eye, how much of an impact he will have on the story. Better stop writing and start reading.
