Saphira's scales and eyes were the color of sapphires, often described in the book as intense blue that refracted the light. The radiating blue tone of her scales resulted the nickname given to her by the elves, Saphira Brightscales. Her color, as described in the book, differed in the movie where she appeared a rather dull blue. Her vision was enhanced, for she was able to see blues more clearly and vibrantly than reds and greens. Her talons and spikes on her neck, back, as well as tail were bone-white. She had two serrated fangs that jutted out of her upper jaw onto her bottom lip slightly, as well as with all dragons, had white, sharp, knife-like, meat-shearing teeth. Her head was roughly triangular and she also possessed four cheek spines, slightly curved horns and forehead spines between her horns.

Finishing reading "Inheritance" (the last book of the saga started with Eragon, wich is also a movie), a deep sense of sadness takes me. Knowing that now I won't be able to read a new Eragon book, that I can not rejoice, cry, be nervous or have fear for their lives with that killing uncertainty. Knowing that it ended forever.
Sounds a bit pessimistic, but it is how I feel now.
But it's time for coming back to the real world and realize that it's just a book and I can reread it each time I need it.
A great "cuatrilogy", I recommend it to anyone. Easy to read, it has action, romance, adventure, magic and philosophy among other aspects.
Finally, please let in your comments if you have ever felt that way.
