BRISINGR! the fire!

yay, i have finish the the marvel: BRISINGR. yipee dipee. i accomplished this feat by spending 3 days, more or less locked up in my room, listening to music while i read brisingr. very slow, i know. haha. but all matter is that i enjoyed the story. i love the plot and style of language that christopher paolini is gifted in potraying. however, i feel doubly sad. the reason being that i will have to wait a thousand years before the next book is released. oh man, i can't wait. n i have this very impatient nature that makes things worse! haiz.

p.s i heard from elyssa and diane that codered is reading brisingr! wah, no big surprise here, it all goes to show how good the book is!


[spoilers for whoever has yet to read and is going to read]

my likes:

- i really liked the fact that brom's eragon's real father. :) that makes eragon's lineage more noble, eventhough it is probable that he was born out the wedlock.

- also, eragon's new sword was an idea that suited me well and it came handy for the last battle. :) it was high time that a rider had a proper sword. haha, and the part when eragon cried 'brisingr!', the sword would burst into blue flames. i agree with cp in his message that it was a rather cool thing. lol.

- YAY! arya seems to be opening up to eragon! that's great, cos i want them to be together by the end of the series! if not, cp had better give a good reason man. [okay, erjie was beside me when i typed this and she called me weird. hehe, she forgot that im a diehard romance fan, especially in books. lol]

- i admire the wisdom of nasuada in recruiting the urgals, eventhough they seem more malevolent than good willed, but i think they are vital in the fight against the empire because they are a powerful force in terms of physicality.

- im glad that the varden is progressing in it's quest to achieve the dwarves' trust with the coronation of orik. the dwarves are a race that are skilled weapon smiths and with their alliance, it is definitely a boon for the varden as they need the maximum manpower possible to overthrow the tyrannical, near invincible king.

- roran has gotten married to katrina, thanks to the help of the varden and eragon. that's good cos roran, a valiant hammer warrior, has talent and thus feels obligated to aid the varden. along with him, the people of carvahall seek refuge in the varden. so MORE manpower!

- also, learning the loophole that could defeat galbatorix (the idiotic king) makes the outcome of the book more hopeful. and learning the source of his almost unlimited power makes it easier to counter him. yay, there's light after a dark tunnel. although it's obvious what the ending will be, the novel has immersed me in the conflict, and i have of course taken my side with the good.

what wasn't so great:

- the book was a lil draggy in the late middle. i remember nearly scanning through the part of roran and captain edric.

- arya and eragon had less companion of each other as compared to the other books. that is i feel. but since the minimal time they spent with each other in this book was sweet enough, im thoroughly satistisfied. eragon was comforting arya over her dead ex. hehe. :)

okay at the end of the novel, i realised that the dominating theme of good vs evil has been so deeply imbued in me that i feel that galbotorix is my enemy! haha, that is how well cp convinced me of his story although it is hardcore fantasy. actually, without brisingr to read anymore, (unfortunately, im not one who reads a book twice consecutively, however much i love it. :( ) i feel like the meaning of my life has been reduce by half. now, all i can do is wait for the 4th and final book. :)
