Characters of the Inheritance cycle
In the first book of the series, eragon is just a poor farm boy, he can barely fight and is pretty freaking stupid. Now in the last book , Eragon has spent months with the gratest warriors in all of Alagaesia. He has also spent a great amount of time studying with some of the greatest elvish scholars. He has the the finest armor and even a dragon riders sword of his own. To make a comparison, in the first book, His cousin Roran was only two years older, but twice his size and strength. Now, Eragon is stronger and taller than Roran. Theses things have greatly advanced the plot and theme by changing out comes that normally would not have happened if the character would not have progressed.

Starting up Inheritance
WOW. I started reading Inheritance, the last book in the inheritance cycle, and thought to my self :"This is going to be a challenge". This book is 849 pages long! There are about 250 words per page, so that means that there are 212,250 words in this book! I also averaged that there were six letters per word (not including space) which mean that there are a total of 1,273,500 characters in the entire book! WOOOOOOOW. The other books were bad enough. The first was 509 pages, the second was 668 pages and the third was 749 paged long that makes the total character count EVER to 4,162,500! I never knew that was even possible to read that much... I think I might eventually read the Game of Thrones series. They are all just as long and there are SEVEN of them...
Tone and Mood of Inheritance
In the book so far , nothing really happy, has happened , there has just been battles and a lot of killing.Half the time it talks about goring a rival soldier or being stabbed in battle... I'm am going to say that the mood of this story is morbid. Every one is miserable. The have been fighting non stop to reclaim Alagaesia while they get little done. On the other hand, I will say the tone of the story is gruesome. Everything is blood or gore, killing vast amounts of petty soldiers or one on one duels with shades. Indeed is it gruesome. So far, that's all this book has been, but I'm only a third of the way through it, so I hope that will change.
