The Fork, The Witch and The Worm: Christopher Paolini
Warning: contains potential spoilers to the Inheritance series of books.
I absolutely loved the original Inheritance trilogy of books, so when I heard that there was a new book in the series, it was immediately put on my Christmas wish list. The three earlier books; Eragaon, Eldest and Brisingr are set in a fictional fantasy world of dragons and evil kings and follow the fate of a teenage boy, Eragon and his dragon, Saphira.
This sequel carries on about a year from the events featured in Inheritance. Eragon has surprisingly remained in Alagaësia and has settled on a mountain not to far away where he hopes to train the next generation of dragon riders. Murtagh is wandering Alagaësia with his dragon Thorn under the name of his old friend and teacher Tornac. Angela and Elva are on the run and traversing Alagaësia after Angela broke Elva out of the palace.
We find out that none of the dragon eggs have hatched yet and everyone is just waiting around for something exciting to happen. I won't reveal what goes on, but this books ends with a ginormous cliffhanger at the end, which will has left me impatiently waiting for Christopher Paolini to publish another one!
The Inheritance series is so action-packed and there is so much just going on, it almost feels like watching a movie. However, if your only knowledge of these books is the movie, Eragon, don't let that movie put you off reading the books. I really hated the movie adaptation, it was nothing like the book and really rubbish.
If you haven’t read the Inheritance cycle I would highly recommend it, not only because they are just fantastic books but also because if you haven’t read them then The Fork, The Witch and The Worm won’t make a whole lot of sense to you!
