Greetings!

Here’s my reading highlight for the week:

Eragon (The Inheritance Cycle #1) by Christopher Paolini
4 stars

I picked the book because I wanted to read more fantasy with dragons. It did feel a bit more childlike and cliche in terms of the long quest (haha, not a surprise since it was written in 2003, but hopefully, it will get better as the series continues and Eragon grows older).

I did like Seraphina and the found family created in the series. The banter between characters, especially between Seraphina and Eragon, was fun. A sassy dragon is always a blast.

A Game of Thrones (A Song of Ice and Fire #1) by George R.R. Martin
4 stars

Winter is coming, but I’m a little bit late to the game (hahaha).

There are so many characters in this book. It took me a while to figure them out and not get confused while listening to the audiobook. I enjoyed Daenery’s, Arya’s and Jon’s parts in the book. I’m not sure yet if I’ll be continuing with the series. The books are pretty thick, for one, and I’m not sure if I’m interested in the plot or the fate of those individual characters.
