I liked this book

Good reading

5 stars

The book was pretty good. It was funny. Lots of funny animals.

Paolini knocked it out of the park. I was immediately pulled into the story and was listening every chance I got. He built a really cool world and made all the characters very human. Everyone makes mistakes and everyone gets to be a little bit of a hero at times. You don't really know who the good guys or the bad guys are and he has you questioning whether humanity should "win" or if we are the real threat to the universe.

This book had my mind all over the place. I'd think, “Okay, now I see what’s going on,” and then have to make a sudden U turn and go in a completely different direction. At the same time, I would have dialogue in my head asking characters why they did this or why they did that. I went from feeling frustrated one minute to feeling happy, disheartened, shocked or sad the next minute. This book has most of everything a person should expect from a good book. It is slow in some spots, but the speed bumps are worth it in the end! Another downside to this book was that I couldn’t stop listening and continued at home with earbuds, completely ignoring my husband and my dog until the very end.

A very sweet book, easy read for kids.

I love Scooby Doo!

This book gave me a history lesson on South Korea's past and the dangers of a tyrant. The story follows two characters, one trying to save her sister and the other trying to remove his tyrannical brother from the throne. They work together to meet their goals, and in the process they also fall in love. I loved how their love developed despite the treacherous environment led by the king, and how it did not feel rushed.
