Paolini has mastered the art of the cliffhanger. It quickly became obvious to me once I started why my children were able to read such a long book so quickly. Since the book is 880 pages, I thought it might take me a while, even though my nine year old daughter got through it in two days, and my sons each took three. It was only after each of them had a go that I was able to get to my own reading. However, when the 4th book in the series arrived on my doorstep on the day of its release, I was almost as excited as my children, who began fighting immediately over who would read it first. Relucantly because I’m not a fantasy fan, and the idea of reading a lengthy series of books about dragons and a war did not appeal to me. I was brought to the series, reluctantly, by my three children who insisted. I had no intention of reading the Inheritance series or becoming a fan of Christopher Paolini.
