Brisingr

4 cookies
Brisingr by Christopher Paolini.  I gave this one only 4 cookies, I feel it is too long winded.  In this one Eragon finally gets his own sword, and learns a lot of things about himself.

Eldest

5 cookies
Eldest by Christopher Paolini.  The second book in the Eragon series.  In this one, a second Rider appears, and the fight is on!

Eragon

5 cookies
Eragon by Christopher Paolini.  I have read Eragon several times before, I really like the series.  I am rereading it now because the last book has come out, and I want the whole story fresh in my mind!  Eragon is about a boy who finds a dragon egg, and it hatches for him.  He then becomes a Dragon Rider, and has to decide how he will use his new-found powers.

The Unwanteds

4 cookies
The Unwanteds by Lisa McMann.  This is a Young Adult fantasy book, but I quite liked it.  It is about a community that when the children are in their 13th year, the leaders decide if a child is a Wanted, a Necessary, or an Unwanted.  The Unwanted are then killed.  Except, someone saves them (unbeknownst to the leaders) and keeps them safe and teaches them magic.  Eventually, the two worlds collide.

Lethal

4 cookies
Lethal by Sandra Brown.  Typical Sandra Brown - strong girl falls for the "bad" guy - then they catch the real bad guys.

Divergent

4 cookies
Divergent by Veronica Roth.  I can't even explain this.  But I liked it!

Heart of Evil

3 cookies
Heart of Evil by Heather Graham.  This was okay, about people who solve crimes by listening to ghosts.

A Drink Before the War

4 cookies
A Drink Before the War by Dennis Lehane.  I LOVE Dennis Lehane, but as I have said before he is very intense and graphic.  This was his debut novel, the first book with Kenzie and Gennaro.  Really, really great books.
