Guest Blogger Emi reviews Paolini’s Inheritance

Christopher Paolini

Review by Emi Lemberg

One war stands between freedom and imprisonment for the land of Alagaësia: the war of Uru’baen. Will Nasuda be able to keep the Varden’s spirits up long enough to battle King Galbatorix? Will Eragon and Saphira have the power to kill King Galbatorix when the time comes?

Eragon and his dragon Saphira have come a long way since they first met in Palancar Valley. Trained and seasoned in battle, Eragon and Saphira are ready to take Galbatorix down once and for all, or die trying. With Arya and the Varden at their side, Eragon and Saphira march from Surda to Uru’baen in a hope to bring peace to Alagësia.

Filled with unexpected twists and turns, this epic conclusion of the Inheritance Cycle satisfies many of the series’ questions while still leaving the reader yearning for more. Inheritance starts with a bang and a battle, continuing to increase momentum until the last page of the book. Eragon and fantasy book lovers will not want to miss Paolini’s fast paced, action packed conclusion to the mysterious land of Algaësia.

Thanks for the terrific review, Emi!

Great article from Salon on black writers in Fantasy

Trevor — Wed, 09 Nov 2011 21:56:30 +0000

Laura Miller’s terrific article at Salon.com, “If Tolkien were black,” interviews two authors, N.K. Jemisin and David Anthony Durham. Fantasy is often associated with a mythical Great Britain full of anglo-saxons, but both of these authors question that, and create books that are not your typical fantasy fare. One insight from Jemisin I really liked was:

Jemisin finds deeper problems in “certain expectations of the genre that are rooted in Western cultural assumptions that are not necessarily true. For example: the whole good-versus-evil focus, the binary. You see that in so much of epic fantasy. The Dark Lord is really bad, we know this. Because he’s dark. Well, did you do something to him? Doesn’t matter, he’s dark. That’s why he’s bad and that’s why you’ve got to go kill him. That kind of thinking I inherently do not trust.”

Also interesting to me is how both writers celebrate the imaginative power of fantastic fiction, and use imaginary worlds to discuss real world topics without any overt ideology.
