Inheritance is an extremely good fiction novel. Being the last book in the Inheritance book series, you need to read the books that follow up to this amazing conclusion of the series to really understand what's going on. The first book in the series is Eragon. This is followed by Eldest and Brisingr. Inheritance is filled with action, adventure, a little romance and all that other good stuff. Parts in the book may be dull or boring at parts but it always pays up for it later in the book. Allow myself to explain more about what the book is about.
Eragon is a dragon rider. They are pretty much the most beast people to ever live. A dragon rider is when a person (human or elf) bonds with a dragon. The dragon will only hatch for a certain person and then they share a special connection with each other. Dragon riders are often taught magic and help defend truth and righteousness. Back in the old days there were many dragon riders but now Eragon is the only good one. There are two others; Murtagh and Galbatorix. Although they are dragon riders they are trying to destroy the empire and it's Eragon's job to stop them.
Eragon is getting ready to face Galbatorix and hopefully bring peace back to the empire. The Varden a group that rebels against Galbatorix, is helping Eragon with other helpful allies. Although Eragon dreads it, he is the only one who will be able to face Galbatorix and live. But his chances are pretty slim. With the help of the elves, dwarves and the Varden, Eragon is willing to risk his neck for the good of the world.
In Inheritance, it has many themes. But I believe that there are two that present themselves most openly. I feel like the main one is doing what needs to be done even though it is hard. Eragon has to make many difficult choices that will affect him but will be best for the rest of the empire. He always does them though, knowing that he is doing the right thing even though it may cause him his life. Another possible theme is trust/love. Not love like kissing and mushy gushy stuff but like with your family. Eragon is always looking out for Saphira and she is doing the same for him. They have been through a lot together and always have each others backs. The whole book is kind of encouraging you to do these things.
The end of the book I did not particularly like. If I were the author I definitely would have done it differently. But again! The reason you do not like it is because Eragon makes a choice to help everybody else but he gets the lower end of the deal. So I guess the end can be ok.
All in all, I thought this was a spectacular book. It kept me in suspense the whole time and fed just the right amount of action and adventure. I would recommend this book to anybody who likes fantasy, adventure, Studly heroes who save the day or just to anybody. This book is undoubtedly an A+
