Brisingr: Day 5

PROGRESS:  page 230
THOUGHTS SO FAR:  still, ehhh.. 

Today is day 5 reading Brisingr, by Christoper Paolini.   Still not turning cartwheels at the sheer joy and excitement of reading this one.  Alas, my update:

Arya met up with Eragon and they are headed back to the Varden. I like her.  I am hoping she and Eragon will hook up, I think.  The repeated HINTS that they will are driving me INSANE.  What great story doesn’t have the hero getting his freak on at some point?  Hook Up, I say! 

For some strange unapparent reason, there is a spiel about Eragon running into some little old man.  He seemed a bit like a Yoda reference to me.  Rambling on about finding the answer to his "question" and if he knew the "answer" then he would know the "question".  HUH?  All righty then. haha.

There is a spiel where Arya was telling Eragon about her man-thing, who is  now dead.  I was genuinely sad for her.  Good writing in that bit.  Only complaint:  where was the hookup?!  I want them to hook-up, I say! lol… 

There was a spiel with some "spirits" who seem to have the effect of a good set of shrooms, lol… I really hope that plays in somehow later on, or I am going to be pissed I wasted that 30 minutes of my life…

Nasuada takes Roran into the army, but let him know flat out she didnt REALLY trust him. Kewl, I like her.  Roran, then asks if his missions can wait, because he wants to marry Katriana.  BLUH.  Who cares?  I don’t.

Twelve elves arrive at the camp. The leader of the group, Blödhgarm has blue fur, the eyes of an eagle, and the fangs of a wolf.  Sound sexy?  Yea, me either. lol..  He apparently has a seductive smell and Nasuada starts hearing a little “chicka-chicka-bow-ow” in the background. again, NO HOOKOUP…  ‘sup with that? 

and…  that’s where I am now.

Still not overly excited, but willing to pick it up just ONE MORE TIME.  Just to see if it gets better. ha.

Until tomorrow…
