Fallen


Fallen by Lauren Kate. This book is about 350-400 pages long. When i first off started reading this book, i was not easily convinced to start reading it. So following the " dont judge a book by its cover" rule i kept on reading and i was shocked on how easily i was attached to this book. I could not put it down. I should have known immediately about what the book was going to be about by the title, but i didnt. This book is about fallen angels and true love. This genre is not a popular one, but definitely one that i like. I fell in love with the characters. If i could live in a world of pure fantasy, i would definitely have angels.

Inheritance Cycle

Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paolini. These book has pages ranging about 700-999. They are very long books, but trust me they are worth it. These books begin in Alagaesia. They focus on a Eragon and his dragon Saphira as he becomes one of the few remaining Dragon Riders. The Dragon Riders were almost destroyed by a Rider named Galvatorix and the Forsworn. After the Fall, when most of the Riders were slain, Galbatorix claimed the throne of Alagaesia. The tyrant king's greatest fear is that a new Rider will rise up and usurp his position as king of the Empire. Through the efforts of the rebel group, the Varden, and their leader/founder, Brom a dragon egg is stolen from Galbatorix, and by a whim of fate, is thrust upon a young farm boy in Palancar Valley named Eragon. As Galbatorix attempts to capture Eragon and his dragon, Eragon begins a journey into the past and the future of Alagaesia. The fourth book is yet to be named and does not have a date on when it will come out. There is a lot of mystery and a lot of unexpected events that leave the reader breathless. I would recommend it to anyone who like to devour a fantasy book.
