Brisingr

  Brisingr is the third book of the Inheritance series. I just finished, and I can't wait to read the fourth book Inheritance. Unfortunately, I couldn't find it in the school library, so I might have to read it online...

  The word "brisingr" means "fire" in the ancient language in the book. Reasons why I love this word:

1. Because Eragon named his super-awesome-master-smith-elf-made-best-sword-in-the-whole-kingdom-of-Alagaesia "Brisingr"
2. Because this super-awesome-master-smith-elf-made-best-sword-in-the-whole-kingdom-of-Alagaesia can burst into flames, when Eragon says "Brisingr"
3. Because I LOVE the swords of heros!

  Every hero in a book that does fighting has their own special sword. Whether it was past down from generation to generation, or found as a hidden treasure, their swords always has a name.
  The name of the sword is very important. Some swords' name define what the sword may bring, other swords are name after some significant event or thing that the sword and hero accomplished. Brisingr was a sword made under very special circumstances. The sword maker that specially makes swords for dragon riders made an unbreakable oath to never forge another sword. But Eragon was in great need of a sword that was worthy of him, and Eragon is a special case, so the sword maker elf decided to make him one. Because she could not make it herself, she would control Eragon to make the sword. So it was almost like Eragon making the sword, but not him at the same time. This might be one of the reasons that the sword can burst into flames when Eragon says its name.
  I am a big sword fan. Sword are my favourite weapon. Although bows and arrows are nice, but they are useless in  close combat. Some of my favourite swords are Tidal Wave (Percy Jackson's ball point pen), Grayswandir (Corwin's sword from the Great Book of Amber, this sword also has a twin!), Zar'roc (which translates to "misery", from Eragon). Now I think I am going to add Brisingr into the list too!
