Brisingr - Christopher Paolini

The third book of Inheritance in the series that started with Eragon. The last 50 pages of this book were great for me because of the emotional factor, and I tend to connect positively with books that evoke strong emotions (won't betray which kind) from me.
I did find myself getting very frustrated with this book though. One of the reasons was because I didn't realize there would be a 4th book, and could not understand why nothing was getting resolved for this 3rd. Mostly though, not a lot happened.
There was literally a point in the book that was so repetitive and long-winded that I actually skipped it (which I never ever do, especially to a series that I am loyal to). I really do think that only one major occurrence took place from page 1 to the end, and that was during the last 50 pages which I've already mentioned.


All-in-all it was just Good with a tinge of disappointment because I was expecting Awesome. I would say it was only about a 6 out of 10 and that's because I feel bad for rating it low. Of course, I am 20 years old and I think the target readers are probably in the 13-year age group.
Whatever.


I am starting (at this very moment) a book entitled Wayfarer Redemption by Sara Douglass. I've never read anything by her so I'm really looking forward to it:)
I'm also still working on Three Cups of Tea, but that could potentially continue as a work in progress through til the summer.
