The stages of the Journey

     The book I am reading right now is, Inheritance(Christopher Poalini), and it is the fourth book in the Eragon series. The stages we are doing in class have passed  in the books earlier in the series. However he still has the mentor he gained in the third book. In the book Inheritance,Eragon has his mentor named Glaedr, an old and wise dragon. Eragon always seeks approval from Glaedr before he acts on something and goes to him for advice. Glaedr also teaches Eragon how to keep control of his mind and body. Although this happened in the first book,Eragon, Eragon crosses the thresh hold in this book. When he is at the dragon rider's island Eragon learns what his true name is in the ancient language. This allows Eragon to understand himself better and realises that he has flaws. Knowing this Eragon can go into battle knowing what he has to watch himself for. I recommend this series to everyone boy or girl if interested in suspenseful and action filled books.
