Eragon

Summary
Fifteen-year-old Eragon believes that he is merely a poor farm boy- until his destiny as a Dragon Rider is revealed. Gifted with only an ancient sword, a loyal dragon, and sage advice from an old storyteller, Eragon is soon swept into a dangerous tapestry of magic, glory, and power. Now his choices could save - or destroy- the Empire.
(Summary taken from book.)

Afterthoughts
Eragon is and always will be one of my favorite books. Paolini, who wrote the book at 15, was my inspiration to write and I love every book in the Inheritance cycle.
The plot and setting of the story are very complex and accurate. Paolini creates a believable world with heroes that have limitations, but power, which, in my opinion, is the best kind of hero.There is plenty of action, adventure, romance, and magic, forming a fantastic experience that will prompt re-reads and nerdy discussions. Read it and you won't regret it.

Warnings
Some mild language and violence.
