The Blood Of Olympus, Book Five

Published October 7, 2014

#1 USA Today bestseller

#1 New York Times bestseller


Though the Greek and Roman crewmembers of the Argo II have made progress in their many quests, they still seem no closer to defeating the earth mother, Gaea. Her giants have risen—all of them, and they’re stronger than ever. They must be stopped before the Feast of Spes, when Gaea plans to have two demigods sacrificed in Athens. She needs their blood—the blood of Olympus—in order to wake. The demigods are having more frequent visions of a terrible battle at Camp Half-Blood. The Roman legion from Camp Jupiter, led by Octavian, is almost within striking distance

Though it is tempting to take the Athena Parthenos to Athens to use as a secret weapon, the friends know that the huge statue belongs back on Long Island, where it might be able to stop a war between the two camps. The Athena Parthenos will go west; the Argo II will go east. The gods, still suffering from multiple personality disorder, are useless. How can a handful of young demigods hope to persevere against Gaea’s army of powerful giants? As dangerous as it is to head to Athens, they have no other option. They have sacrificed too much already. And if Gaea wakes, it is game over.

Newmoon; new collection

I had a fortune today. I got a newmoon book in English edition only for 40k! Oh my, I can't belive this happening. I bought it in book bazaar in Library of Kediri City, they held a cheap book exhibition untill 31 July next week. I'm so glad I can buy a book from there.

Celestial Being's story

I must say that I can not help my self smiling over the pages of the story created by Alexandra in Halo, Hades, and Heaven. It's so romantic and awesome story. Sp honest and it can keep the good opinion about an angels. Because some novels make a fallen angel like a vampire.

Terhipnotis oleh A Separate Peace

I never killed anybody and I never developed an intense level of hatred for the enemy. Because my war ended before I ever put on a uniform; I was on active duty all my time at school; I killed my enemy there.

Cuplikan paragraph ini adalah bagian yang paling mewakili dari novel yang digarap dengan indah oleh John Knowles ini, dan membuat saya tergila-gila sepertinya, meski dalam bahasa inggris. Novel yang bercerita mengenai persahabatan 2 laki-laki remaja di sebuah sekolah berasrama bernuansa Perang Dunia II menyimpan sisi gelap yang mengejutkan.

Sebenarnya saya punya buku ini sejak 2011 lalu, yang terbeli saat ada gelaran buku discount import. Saya membelinya karena ketika membaca cuplikannya seperti ada hubungannya dengan saya, selain itu saya juga ingin menghabiskan uang saya di buku itu, investasi istilahnya. Namun setelah buku itu terbeli, buku tersebut hanya tersimpan rapi di lemari, saya sentuh beberapa kali untuk mencoba membacanya, namun saya kembalikan lagi. Barulah saat liburan ini saya bisa membacanya dan saya benar-benar terserap oleh karenanya.

Buku ini entah kenapa memberikan warna baru mengenai persahabatan, dan lebih dalam lagi, mengenai diri sendiri. Peperangan antara malaikat dan setan, antara kenyataan dan dunia maya.

Saya belum pernah membaca novel karya John Knowles, namun buku ini, tidak seperti novel yang lain, sungguh sangat konsisten dengan alurnya. Meskipun jika belum terbiasa dengan buku English maka orang akan mudah bingung, buku ini mampu menghipnotis saya. Bahwa sayalah yang menjadi pemeran utamanya, karena memakai kata ganti saya. Buku ini layak dibaca dan sungguh-sungguh merupakan bacaan yang berbobot dan keren.

Saya bahkan hamper menangis dan terharu, pokoknya perasaan saya bercampur aduk gara-gara novel ini. Ada perasaan sedih yang tidak bisa saya keluarkn dan membuat saya ingin menangis tapi tak bisa. Entahlah, saya ingin menjadi Gene lagi.

Percy Jackson & the Olympians is a series of fictional adventure and fantasy books authored by Rick Riordan. Set in the United States, the books are predominantly based on Greek mythology. The series consists of five books, as well as spin-off titles such as The Demigod Files and Demigods and Monsters. The Lightning Thief, the first book, is the basis of a film called Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief, which was released in the United States and Canada on February 12, 2010.

Main Characters:

Percy Jackson (The son of Poseidon), Anabeth (The Son of Athena), and Grover (Satyr)

There are 5 series of Percy Jackson;

Main article: The Lightning Thief
The US version of the cover.

The Lightning Thief is the first book in the series. It was released on June 28, 2005.

Percy Jackson is a twelve year old boy with dyslexia and ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). After going on a field trip and being attacked by his pre-algebra teacher, who is actually the Fury Alecto in disguise, he finds out that he is the son of a Greek god. He is brought to Camp Half-Blood (a camp for children with a Greek god as a parent, located off Long Island) by his best friend, a satyr named Grover Underwood, and his mother Sally. He soon meets Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena, and they are good friends by the end of the novel. Not long after his arrival, Poseidon, the sea god, claims Percy as his son during a game of demigod-style capture-the-flag. Percy is accused of stealing Zeus' masterbolt, the model for every lightning bolt made. He, Annabeth and Grover are given ten days to return the thunderbolt to Mount Olympus in order to stop a war between the gods from starting a war and save his mother, who has been held hostage in the Underworld by Hades after being captured by the Minotaur. They go on a quest across the United States and encounter various monsters on the way, such as Medusa and others. They soon find out that Hades did not steal the bolt. It is revealed that Luke, a friend Percy had met at camp, stole the bolt for Kronos, who is attempting to rise from Tartarus. The book has been adapted into a film under the title of Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief by Chris Columbus and 20th Century Fox.

2. The Sea of Monsters

Main article: The Sea of Monsters
The US version of the cover

The Sea of Monsters is the second installment in the series, released on May 3, 2006.

Thalia's tree, the magical border of Camp Half-Blood, has been poisoned. Chiron is blamed for the poisoning because he is the son of Kronos and is dismissed from camp; Tantalus, who comes from the Fields of Punishment and cannot have food or water, takes the job. The only thing able to rid the tree of its poison is the Golden Fleece, which is located on the island of Polyphemus (another son of Poseidon and therefore Percy's half-brother), in the Sea of Monsters (the Bermuda Triangle).

Clarisse La Rue, the daughter of Ares and enemy of Percy science his first day at Camp Half-Blood, is given the quest to go to the Sea of Monsters to find the Golden Fleece, which has healing powers for plants, animals, and humans. Percy and Annabeth decide to go also, not just for the Golden Fleece, but for their friend Grover who is trapped in Polyphemus' cave. Tyson, a young Cyclops whom Percy befriended and got saved by from Laistrygonian giants at school that year, joins them on their journey after saving Camp Half-Blood from two metal, fire breathing bulls. He is also Poseidon's son and and that makes him Percy's half-brother.Percy, Annabeth, and Tyson meet the Hydra. They are saved by Clarisse. As they enter the Sea of Monsters, they have to get past Scylla and Charybdis. Instead of trying to sail in between the two, Clarisse automatically goes for Charybdis and Tyson supposedly dies in Clarisse's ship after the engine overheats and then blows up. After that, Percy and Annabeth journey to many dangerous islands, and Annabeth tells Percy many things about how Thalia died and she also mentions her prophecy and tells Percy that he has a choice to make when he becomes 16 years old,about how a kid of one of the Big Three has to make a choice whether or not to save the world, and that is the real reason the Big Three swore off children. Fighting their way through many other obstacles, like the Sirens and Circe's island, they join up with Clarisse and Grover, who had been captured by Polyphemus, and later Tyson. After fighting Polyphemus, they leave with the Golden Fleece.

When they return to the mortal world, they send off Clarisse on an airplane with the Fleece to camp alone. Percy, Annabeth, Grover, and Tyson are kidnapped by Luke. In a duel with him, Percy is nearly killed. He is saved by Chiron, who is proven innocent, and his relatives, the Party Ponies. When they return to camp the Fleece is put on the tree. The Fleece not only revives Thalia's tree, but Thalia too, who appears as she looked in Percy's dreams. It turns out that this was actually Kronos's plan, done so that he would have another chance to manipulate the prophecy which governs the future of Olympus and the Olympians. At the end Percy and Annabeth win a chariot race and Annabeth kisses Percy on the cheek.


3. The Titan's Curse

Main article: The Titan's Curse
The US version of the cover.

The Titan's Curse is the third installment in the series. It was released on May 1, 2007.

Grover has gone undercover to a school in search for half-bloods, and finds two powerful siblings, Nico and Bianca di Angelo. While on this mission, they are attacked by a manticore, but are saved by the Hunters of Artemis, who arrive just in time to help. Annabeth falls off a cliff in an attempt to kill the manticore, and as Percy learns later, has somehow survived and been captured by Luke. Bianca joins the Hunters and they, along with Nico, Percy, and Thalia, go to camp. Soon after arriving at camp, Percy learns that Artemis herself has been captured, too.

A quest is issued and the group is made to go on a quest for Artemis. But Percy is not a part of that quest. Grover, Thalia, Bianca, and Zoë Nightshade (Artemis' lieutenant) go on a quest to rescue Artemis. Percy secretly follows and soon joins the quest as the fifth member. They travel to various places such as Hoover Dam and the junkyard of the gods where Percy is visited by Goddess of beauty and love, Aphrodite, who tells Percy that she is quite interested in Percy and Annabeth's romantic tension that is shown discreetly within the books but becomes more pronounced throughout the series. They learn that Atlas, a powerful Titan, has escaped his torment (holding up the sky) at the Mountain of Despair on California's Mount Tamalpais, replacing himself with Annabeth and then eventually Artemis, and is intent on stopping the heroes from success. They defeat him, having lost both Hunters in the quest. At the winter solstice, Thalia replaces Zoë as Artemis' lieutenant at a meeting with the gods in which they decided whether they would kill Percy and his friends. Thalia had escaped the phrophecy, leaving Perseus alone in it. Fortunately, Percy and his friends remain untouched. The gods, Percy, Annabeth, Grover, and Thalia then celebrate the victory of defeating Atlas and everything else the heroes accomplished. But as soon as they return, Nico is told about Bianca's death. He blames Percy, accusing him of failing to protect her like he had promised. When a crack in the ground appears, Nico thinks that Percy is now trying to kill him as well. He tells them to leave and they are banished to the Underworld; Nico then runs away. Percy realizes that Hades is Nico's father. At first, Percy, Annabeth and Grover think that this goes against the promise of the Big Three, which is to never have demigod children, but then they realize that the two siblings had been in the Lotus Hotel and Casino (a hotel/casino where time is nonexistent and makes you lose complete track of time, and is visited in the first book) before the pact between the big three was ever made. But still, Nico is still apart of it, so now Percy has to hide Nico's parentage, in case Luke tries to recruit him, so Nico can destroy the world at 16.


4. The Battle of the Labyrinth

Main article: The Battle of the Labyrinth
The US version of the cover.

The Battle of the Labyrinth, released on May 6, 2008, is the fourth book in the series.

After being attacked by monster cheerleaders at his new school, Percy returns to Camp Half-Blood and learns about "The Labyrinth", part of the palace of King Minos in Crete that, according to Greek mythology, was designed by Daedalus. During a game/battle with giant scorpions, Annabeth and Percy find an entrance into the Labyrinth. Percy soon learns that Luke had used the entrance and will lead his army through the Labyrinth straight into the heart of camp. Annabeth also finds out that she is going to lead a quest for the first time in her life. To get into the Labyrinth, Percy has to find a blue Delta Symbol (Δ) (representing Daedalus) on a passageway, touch it, and then enter the Labyrinth to find Daedalus. Then Percy, Annabeth, Grover, and Tyson learn that the Labyrinth is known to grow on its own, and can cause madness that could lead to death. While in the Labyrinth, they (with Nico) discover Pan, and he speaks words of wisdom to all of them except Nico. When he dies, part of his essence enters each of the characters except Nico. Percy later notices that Pan did not even speak to Nico.

Using the Labyrinth, Percy tries to find Daedalus so Luke cannot get Ariadne's string, (a string that can help anyone travel through the Labyrinth without getting lost), thereby foiling Luke's invasion. He gets the help he needs from a mortal girl named Rachel Elizabeth Dare, who can also see a path in the Labyrinth leading to Daedalus. Kronos finds out that Nico di Angelo is a son of Hades and also could be the child of the prophecy. Luke reaches Daedalus and gets Ariadne's string which he uses to lead his army to attack Camp Half-Blood. Grover comes to the rescue and causes a Panic (a scream that symbolizes the wild god Pan) to scare away the enemy. After the battle, Daedalus sacrifices himself to close the Labyrinth, which is tied to his life.


5. The Last Olympian

Main article: The Last Olympian
The US version of the cover.

The Last Olympian, the fifth book in the Percy Jackson series, was released on May 5, 2009.

Percy Jackson and his friends fight in a war resembling the original war between the Greek gods and the Titans and in a final battle with the powerful Titan, Lord Kronos. Seeking to defeat Kronos, Percy bathes in the River Styx, like Luke, to make his body invulnerable except in one spot (mortal point; in Percy's case, the small of his back). Percy and his friends then fight in a last stand to protect Mount Olympus from the oncoming invasion of Kronos.They find out that a mortal girl that Percy met in the third book, The Titan's Curse, was destined to become the Oracle. Percy also finds out the last Olympian is Hestia and gives her Pandora´s jar, telling her she is the last and most important Olympian "because Hope survives best at the hearth". Percy and Luke (possessed by Kronos) battle at the top of Mt. Olympus. Luke is shocked back into his normal self after hurting Annabeth. Just before this battle, Percy turns sixteen, making the Great Prophecy come into effect. Annabeth tells Percy to give Luke the knife, leaving himself unarmed. He does and Luke commits suicide to destroy Kronos and save Mt. Olympus.Percy(Perseus)had made the choice to save Olympus, losing his sword, plenty of his friends, and finding out that Luke was the true hero, in the end. A shroud is made for Luke when the gods return to Olympus. The gods reward Percy and his friends and grant him one request. He requests the gods to recognize all their children and make a place at Camp Half-Blood for Hades and all the children of the minor gods. At the end of the book, Annabeth gives Percy a cupcake with a candle on it for his birthday. They then share a quick kiss but do not realize the rest of the campers are eavesdropping. The book finishes with the Percy and Annabeth running down Half-Blood Hill to go home.

Synopsis of Eragon and Eldest

Eragon—a fifteen-year-old farm boy—is shocked when a polished blue stone appears before him in the range of mountains known as the Spine. Eragon takes the stone to the farm where he lives with his uncle, Garrow, and his cousin, Roran, outside the small village of Carvahall. Garrow and his late wife, Marian, have raised Eragon. Nothing is known of Eragon’s father; his mother, Selena, was Garrow’s sister and has not been seen since Eragon’s birth.
Later, the stone cracks open and a baby dragon emerges. When Eragon touches her, a silvery mark appears on his palm, and an irrevocable bond is forged between their minds, making Eragon one of the legendary Dragon Riders. He names the dragon Saphira, after a dragon mentioned by the village storyteller, Brom.
The Dragon Riders were created thousands of years earlier in the aftermath of the devastating war between the elves and the dragons, in order to prevent their two races from ever again fighting each other. The Riders became peacekeepers, educators, healers, natural philosophers, and the greatest of all magicians—since being joined with a dragon makes one a spellcaster. Under their guidance and protection, the land enjoyed a golden age.
When humans arrived in Alagaësia, they too were added to this elite order. After many years of peace, the warlike Urgals killed the dragon of a young human Rider named Galbatorix. The loss drove him mad, and when his elders refused to provide him with another dragon, Galbatorix set out to topple the Riders.
He stole another dragon—whom he named Shruikan and forced to serve him through certain black spells—and gathered around himself a group of thirteen traitors: the Forsworn. With the help of those cruel disciples, Galbatorix threw down the Riders; killed their leader, Vrael; and declared himself king over Alagaësia. His actions forced the elves to retreat deep within their pinewood forest and the dwarves to hide in their tunnels and caves, and neither race now ventures forth from its secret places. The stalemate between Galbatorix and the other races has endured for over a hundred years, during which all of the Forsworn have died from various causes. It is into this tense political situation that Eragon finds himself thrust.
Several months after Saphira hatches, two menacing, beetle-like strangers called the Ra’zac arrive in Carvahall, searching for the stone that was Saphira’s egg. Eragon and Saphira manage to evade them, but they destroy Eragon’s home and murder Garrow.
Eragon vows to track down and kill the Ra’zac. As he leaves Carvahall, the storyteller Brom, who knows of Saphira’s existence, accosts Eragon and asks to accompany him. Brom gives Eragon a red Dragon Rider’s sword, Zar’roc, though he refuses to say how he acquired it.
Eragon learns much from Brom during their travels, including how to fight with swords and use magic. When they lose the Ra’zac’s trail, they go to the port town of Teirm and visit Brom’s old friend Jeod, who Brom thinks may be able to help them locate the Ra’zac’s lair. In Teirm, they learn that the Ra’zac live somewhere close to the city of Dras-Leona. Eragon also has his fortune told by the herbalist Angela and receives two strange pieces of advice from her companion, the werecat Solembum.
On the way to Dras-Leona, Brom reveals that he is an agent of the Varden—a rebel group dedicated to overthrowing Galbatorix—and that he had been hiding in Carvahall, waiting for a new Dragon Rider to appear. Twenty years ago, Brom was involved in stealing Saphira’s egg from Galbatorix and, in the process, killed Morzan, first and last of the Forsworn. Only two other dragon eggs still exist, both of which remain in Galbatorix’s possession.
In and near Dras-Leona, they encounter the Ra’zac, who mortally wound Brom while he is protecting Eragon. A mysterious young man named Murtagh drives the Ra’zac away. With his dying breath, Brom confesses that he too was once a Rider and that his slain dragon was also named Saphira.
Eragon and Saphira then decide to join the Varden, but Eragon is captured at the city of Gil’ead and brought before Durza, an evil and powerful Shade who serves Galbatorix. With Murtagh’s help, Eragon escapes from prison, bringing along with him the elf Arya, another captive of Durza’s and an ambassador to the Varden. Arya has been poisoned and requires the Varden’s medical help.
Pursued by a contingent of Urgals, the four of them flee across the land to the Varden’s headquarters in the giant Beor Mountains, which stand over ten miles high. Circumstances force Murtagh—who does not want to go to the Varden—to reveal that he is the son of Morzan. Murtagh, however, has denounced his dead father’s villainy and fled Galbatorix’s court to seek his own destiny. And he tells Eragon that the sword Zar’roc once belonged to Murtagh’s father.
Just before they are overwhelmed by the Urgals, the Varden, who live in Farthen Dûr, a hollow mountain that is also home to the dwarves’ capital, Tronjheim, rescues Eragon and his friends. Once inside, Eragon is taken to Ajihad, leader of the Varden, while Murtagh is imprisoned because of his relation to Morzan.
Eragon meets with the dwarf king, Hrothgar, and Ajihad’s daughter, Nasuada, and is tested by the Twins, two rather nasty magicians who serve Ajihad. Eragon and Saphira also bless one of the Varden’s orphan babies while the Varden heal Arya of her poisoning.
Eragon’s stay is disrupted by news of an Urgal army approaching underground, through the dwarves’ tunnels. In the battle that follows, Eragon is separated from Saphira and forced to fight Durza alone. Far stronger than any human, Durza easily defeats Eragon, slashing open his back from shoulder to hip. At that moment, Saphira and Arya break the roof of a chamber—a sixty-foot-wide star sapphire—distracting Durza long enough for Eragon to stab him through the heart. Freed from Durza’s spells, which were controlling them, the Urgals are driven back.
While Eragon lies unconscious after the battle, he is telepathically contacted by a being that identifies himself as Togira Ikonoka—the Cripple Who Is Whole. He urges Eragon to seek him for instruction in Ellesméra, the elves’ capital.
When Eragon wakes, he has a huge scar across his back. Dismayed, he also realizes he only slew Durza through sheer luck and that he desperately needs more training. And at the end of Book One, he decides that, yes, he will find this Togira Ikonoka and learn from him.
Eldest begins three days after Eragon slays Durza. The Varden are recovering from the Battle of Farthen Dûr, and Ajihad, Murtagh, and the Twins have been hunting down the Urgals who escaped into the tunnels underneath Farthen Dûr after the battle. When a group of Urgals takes them by surprise, Ajihad is killed and Murtagh and the Twins disappear in the fray. The Varden’s Council of Elders appoints Nasuada to succeed her father as new leader of the Varden, and Eragon swears fealty to her as her vassal.
Eragon and Saphira decide they must leave for Ellesméra to begin their training with the Cripple Who Is Whole. Before they go, the dwarf king, Hrothgar, offers to adopt Eragon into his clan, the Dûrgrimst Ingeitum, and Eragon accepts, which gives him full legal rights as a dwarf and entitles him to participate in dwarvish councils.
Both Arya and Orik, Hrothgar’s foster son, accompany Eragon and Saphira on their journey to the land of the elves. En route, they stop in Tarnag, a dwarf city. Some of the dwarves are friendly, but Eragon learns that one clan in particular does not welcome him and Saphira—the Az Sweldn rak Anhûin, who hate Riders and dragons because the Forsworn slaughtered so many of their clan.
The party finally arrives in Du Weldenvarden, the forest of the elves. At Ellesméra, Eragon and Saphira meet Islanzadí, queen of the elves, who, they learn, is Arya’s mother. They also meet with the Cripple Who Is Whole: an ancient elf named Oromis. He too is a Rider. Oromis and his dragon, Glaedr, have kept their existence hidden from Galbatorix for the past hundred years while they searched for a way to overthrow the king.
Both Oromis and Glaedr are afflicted with old wounds that prevent them from fighting— Glaedr is missing a leg and Oromis, who was captured and broken by the Forsworn, is unable to control large amounts of magic and is prone to debilitating seizures.
Eragon and Saphira begin their training, both together and separately. Eragon learns more about the history of Alagaësia’s races, swordsmanship, and the ancient language, which all magicians use. In his studies of the ancient language, he discovers he made a terrible mistake when he and Saphira blessed the orphaned baby in Farthen Dûr: he intended to say “May you be shielded from misfortune,” but what he actually said was “May you be a shield from misfortune.” He has cursed the baby to shield others from any and all pain and misfortune.
Saphira makes quick progress learning from Glaedr, but the scar Eragon bears as a result of his battle with Durza slows his training. Not only is the mark on his back disfiguring, but also at unexpected times it incapacitates him with painful spasms. He does not know how he will improve as a magician and swordsman if his convulsions continue.
Eragon begins to realize he has feelings for Arya. He confesses them to her, but she rebuffs him and soon leaves to return to the Varden.
Then the elves hold a ritual known as the Agaetí Blödhren, or the Blood-oath Celebration, during which Eragon goes through a magical transformation: he is turned into an elf-human hybrid—not quite one, not quite the other. As a result, his scar is healed and he now has the same superhuman strength the elves have. His features are also altered, so he appears slightly elvish.
At this point, Eragon learns that the Varden are on the brink of battle with the Empire and are in dire need of him and Saphira. While Eragon has been away, Nasuada has moved the Varden from Farthen Dûr to Surda, a country south of the Empire that still maintains its independence from Galbatorix.
Eragon and Saphira leave Ellesméra, along with Orik, after promising Oromis and Glaedr that they will return to complete their training as soon as they can.
Meanwhile, Eragon’s cousin, Roran, has been having his own adventures. Galbatorix has sent the Ra’zac and a legion of imperial soldiers to Carvahall, looking to capture Roran, so as to use him against Eragon. Roran manages to escape into the nearby mountains. He and the other villagers attempt to drive the soldiers away. Numerous villagers die in the process. When Sloan, the village butcher—who hates Roran and opposes Roran’s engagement to his daughter, Katrina—betrays Roran to the Ra’zac, the beetle-like creatures find and attack Roran in the middle of the night in his bedroom. Roran fights his way free, but the Ra’zac capture Katrina.
Roran convinces the people of Carvahall to leave their village and seek refuge with the Varden in Surda. They set out westward for the coast, in the hope that they can sail from there to Surda. Roran proves himself as a leader, bringing them safely through the Spine to the coast. In the port town of Teirm, they meet Jeod, who tells Roran that Eragon is a Rider and explains what the Ra’zac were looking for in Carvahall in the first place— Saphira. Jeod offers to help Roran and the villagers reach Surda, pointing out that once Roran and the villagers are safely with the Varden, Roran can enlist Eragon’s help in rescuing Katrina. Jeod and the villagers pirate a ship and sail toward Surda.
Eragon and Saphira reach the Varden, who are readying for battle. Eragon learns what has become of the baby upon whom he bestowed the ill-phrased blessing: her name is Elva, and though, chronologically, she is still a baby, she has the appearance of a fouryear- old child and the voice and demeanor of a world-weary adult. Eragon’s spell forces her to sense the pain of all the people she sees, and compels her to protect them; if she resists this urge, she herself suffers.
Eragon, Saphira, and the Varden ride out to meet the Empire’s troops on the Burning Plains, a large swath of land that smokes and smolders from underground peat fires. They are astonished when another Rider appears astride a red dragon. The new Rider slays Hrothgar, the dwarf king, and then begins to fight with Eragon and Saphira. When Eragon manages to wrench the Rider’s helm off, he is shocked to see Murtagh.
Murtagh did not die in the Urgal ambush under Farthen Dûr. The Twins arranged it all; they are traitors who planned the ambush so Ajihad would be killed and they could capture Murtagh and take him to Galbatorix. The king forced Murtagh to swear loyalty to him in the ancient language. Now Murtagh and his newly hatched dragon, Thorn, are Galbatorix’s slaves, and Murtagh asserts that his oaths will never allow him to disobey the king, though Eragon pleads with him to abandon Galbatorix and join the Varden.
Murtagh is able to overwhelm Eragon and Saphira with an inexplicable display of strength. However, he decides to free them because of their previous friendship. Before Murtagh leaves, he takes Zar’roc from Eragon, claiming it is his inheritance as Morzan’s elder son. Then he reveals that he is not Morzan’s only son—Eragon and Murtagh are brothers, both sons of Selena, Morzan’s consort. The Twins discovered the truth when they examined Eragon’s memories the day he arrived at Farthen Dûr.
Still reeling from Murtagh’s revelation about their parentage, Eragon retreats with Saphira, and he is finally reunited with Roran and the villagers of Carvahall, who have arrived at the Burning Plains just in time to aid the Varden in the battle. Roran fought heroically and succeeded in killing the Twins.
Eragon and Roran make peace over Eragon’s role in Garrow’s death, and Eragon vows to help Roran rescue Katrina from the Ra’zac.

" Nggak ada impian yang bisa jadi nyata kalau kamu nggak bangun dan mewujudkannya" Anonim

Mungkin kamu pernah bermimpi atau hanya berangan- angan seandainya kamu menjadi seperti artis idola kamu yang kaya raya dan tenar. Kamu mungkin ingin seperti Daniel Radcliffe ataupun Paris Hilton. Seandainya saja kamu ditawari hidup seperti bintang idolamu, pasti kamu mau banget. Atau kamu ingin menjadi miliarder dan menguasai perusahaan besar seperti Bill Gates? Boleh saja, tapi jangan sampai impian kamu hanya menjadi sekedar angan- angan tanpa usaha untuk mewujudkannya.

Buku motivasi ini dirancang oleh penulisnya yang merupakan seorang mentor pengembangan diri bagi ortu dan remaja terkemuka di Amerika untuk mendorong kamu agar nggak hanya bermimpi, tapi juga mewujudkannya sejak dini. Dalam buku ini, kamu akan menemukan berbagai pertanyaan dan latihan- latihan yang akan memotivasi kamu untuk mewujudkan mimpi- mimpi kamu. Nggak peduli meskipun kamu masih remaja, malah jika kamu masih muda, semakin banyak kesempatan yang dapat kamu raih. Dengan kata lain, peluang mewujudkan mimpi kamu semakin besar. Hal inilah yang membuat buku karangan Jeanne Webster ini berbeda dari buku motivasi yang lain. Selain itu, bahasa yang digunakan cocok banget buat kamu dan mudah dipahami. Sehingga kamu akan lebih enjoy menikmati buku ini.

Buku ini berisi cara- cara memetakan masa depan kamu dan mewujudkannya lewat pilihan- pilihan yang kamu buat sendiri. Dan buku ini akan menjadi pedoman selama kamu berusaha untuk mewujudkan mimpimu itu. Buku ini berusaha mengajak kamu untuk berpikir setinggi- tingginya tentang siapa kamu dan bisa jadi apa kamu nantinya. Tapi yang paling penting, buku ini akan mengajakmu untuk mengembangkan diri lewat impian- impianmu.

Dalam buku ini, ada banyak sekali kata mutiara yang dapat kamu temukan yang dapat memotivasi kamu untuk terus mewujudkan mimpimu dan lebih bersemangat, seperti "Nasib itu bukan masalah perubahan, tapi masalah pilihan. Nasib itu nggak harus ditunggu, tapi

harus dicapai". Selain itu, setiap bab dalam buku ini kaya akan hal- hal Nbaru yang menakjubkan dan mengasyikkan untuk terus dibaca dan dipahami.

Kelemahan buku ini sulit dicari, dengan kata lain buku ini wajib kamu baca jika kamu memang benar- benar pingin mewujudkan impianmu. Dengan cover yang menarik dan berbagai ilustrasi, buku ini sangat segar. Kekurangan buku ini terletak pada setiap ilustrasi yang semuanya perempuan. Ilustrasi yang menggambarkan laki- laki tidak ada sama sekali. Selain itu, ada kesalahan penulisan nama pada halaman sebelum cover, nama yang seharusnya ditulis Kent Nerburn, di sini tertulis Kent Nerburnb. Kesalahan lainnya adalah dalam buku ini, terlalu mengabaikan Tuhan sebagai sumber segalanya, seperti daalm kutipan berikut ini,"... Spiritualitas nggak perlu jadi hal yang paling penting untukmu, tapi aku menemukan kalau aku jadi lebih membumi dan tenteram melalui spiritualitas (hal. 214)" Anjuran berdoa kepada Tuhan setelah berusaha tak ada sama sekali.

Dengan berbagai kekurangan buku ini, tetap saja buku ini sangat aku anjurkan untuk kamu punyai, setidaknya kamu mau membacanya di perpustakaan sekolah atau perpustakaan daerahmu. Karena buku ini akan memotivasi kamu untuk mewujudkan mimpimu. Yakinlah kamu punya kemampuan untuk menjadikan kehidupanmu berharga dan penuh kegembiraan, dan tentunya kamu bisa meraih impianmu

"Tahun- tahun terbaik dari hidupmu adalah tahun- tahun saat kamu memutuskan bahwa salahmu adalah milikmu. Kamu tidak menyalahkan pada ibumu, lingkunganmu, atau presidenmu, kamu sadar bahwa kamulah yang mengontrol nasibmu sendiri" ~ Albert Ellis

Young, Rich, ‘N Famous: Cara Seru Merancang Masa Depan Fantastis

Judul Buku: Young, Rich, ‘N Famous: Cara Seru Merancang Masa Depan Fantastis

Menjadi tenar dan kaya diusia belia merupakan idaman remaja masa kini. Coba kita tengok kontes-kontes pencarian bakat yang selalu dijejali ribuan pendaftar. Baik dari ajang lomba menyanyi, model, aktor, hingga news presenter, memperlihatkan keantusiasan peserta mengikuti proses penyisihan. Sampai-sampai ada yang marah karena tidak dinyatakan lolos, padahal mungkin mereka belum menyadari batas kemampuan yang dimiliki.

Bagi yang pernah mencoba lomba-lomba diatas tapi gagal, tidak perlu kecewa atau malah putus asa. Menjadi masyur tak harus melalui satu jalan atau sebuah event saja. Diri kita sendiri bisa merancang kesuksesan menjadi bintang besar, bahkan bisa melebihi para bintang yang harus terikat kontrak kerja. Bersama buku Young, Rich, ‘N Famous, kita tak hanya ditunjukkan cara berangan-angan tapi juga menciptakan rencana sistematis untuk meraih impian.

Keunggulan buku penuntun menuju sukses ini terletak pada pemahaman intuitif penulis akan kebutuhan remaja. Jeanne Webster menulis buku ini berdasarkan pengalamannya belajar, mengajar, dan menjadi pembimbing motivasional bagi remaja. Sehingga para muda dapat dengan cepat menyerap dan mengaplikasikan ide pengembangan diri yang diajukan penulis.

Langkah awal dalam merancang popularitas adalah menetapkan tujuan. Hal tersebut hukumnya wajib. Dalam menetapkan tujuan harus jelas; apakah ingin menjadi dokter, penyanyi, pemain bola, atau pemilik rumah sebesar kastil. Kita bebas bermimpi untuk mencapai tujuan. Ketahuilah bahwa hidup adalah sebuah kanvas raksasa, jadi tak perlu ragu menuangkan seluruh cat padanya. Dengan kata lain, terus kembangkan saja bakat dan keinginan dalam diri kita sampai mendapatkan apa yang pas buat kita.

Setelah bereksplorasi dengan impian-impian, selanjutnya kita dituntut sadar akan pilihan yang telah direncanakan. Kita bisa berkompromi dengan orang tua dan teman-teman dekat sebagai bahan pertimbangan. Sehingga dengan memiliki banyak perspektif, pilihan yang kita ambil benar-benar murni pilihan terbaik. Pertimbangkan juga pilihan tersebut dengan bakat, keterampilan, dan hobi yang kita miliki. Disamping itu kita harus mengenal diri sendiri dan prinsip yang kita yakini. Jangan sampai terjerumus mengikuti pikiran bawah sadar yang akan selalu berusaha membatasi potensi dan merusak kepercayaan diri.

Langkah berikutnya, memulai mewujudkan impian dengan menetapkan tujuan jangka pendek. Tidak jarang kita menjumpai orang bercita-cita setinggi langit, tapi gagal mencapai angkasa karena “kehabisan bahan bakar”. Oleh karena itu, merancang tujuan-tujuan jangka pendek sama dengan menyediakan pos-pos pengisian bahan bakar agar tidak kewalahan. Dalam rencana jangka pendek, buat eksperimen kecil-kecilan tentang karir yang dikehendaki. Contohnya jika berminat menekuni profesi sebagai presenter profesional, ajukan diri magang di stasiun televisi lokal. Disitu kita dapat bertemu dan berdiskusi dengan para senior tentang positif negatifnya bekerja di bidang broadcasting. Dari kegiatan magang sebagai asisten presenter, kita memiliki kesempatan besar untuk on air.

Merasa kesulitan mengajukan proposal ke stasiun televisi? Abaikan perasaan mendapat ijin on air di televisi adalah suatu hal yang muluk-muluk dan membutuhkan perencanaan besar. Mengerjakan satu hal besar dalam satu waktu memang tidak mudah. Oleh karena itu pecahlah tujuan besar tersebut menjadi beberapa langkah kecil.

Contohnya rencana beraksi di depan kamera dapat diuraikan menjadi empat tujuan mudah: 1) menghadap guru Bahasa Indonesia untuk menanyakan cara pembuatan proposal magang kerja, 2) menyelesaikan proposal, 3) pergi ke stasiun televisi lokal dan menyerahkan proposal, 4) hari berikutnya melakukan konfirmasi apakah proposalnya diterima. Jika diterima, berarti tujuan utama magang dan berkesempatan on air telah tercapai. Sekarang tinggal melakukan rumus pemecahan tujuan besar sebagai seorang profesional, menjadi beberapa tujuan yang kecil, salah satunya magang kerja diatas.

Satu hal yang kita tahu pasti, batu sandungan untuk menjadi seorang bintang selalu bertebaran dimana-mana. Kenyataan yang muncul mungkin tak sesuai dengan keinginan kita atau rencana yang telah dibuat kurang tepat. Dengan kata lain, kita harus mempersiapkan diri ketika berhadapan dengan masalah dan rasa kecewa. Maka dari itu, pegang teguh rencana utama sehingga tidak mudah putus asa. Cara efektif mengatasi kekecewaan adalah berhenti menyalahkan apapun, siapapun, dan mulai evaluasi faktor-faktor penyebab kegagalan. Selain itu, kendalikan emosi negatif dengan bernafas dalam-dalam. Jika sanggup mengatasi satu batu sandungan, kerikil-kerikil tajampun takkan sanggup menghalangi langkah menuju sukses.

Satu hal yang tak kalah penting adalah rentetan perjalanan setelah mencapai kesuksesan. Baik seorang seniman kawakan, pengusaha profesional, atau atlet handal, akan memberikan pengaruh besar kepada dunia. Tidak hanya pada orang-orang di sekitarnya tapi juga di seluruh dunia. Seperti halnya sebuah batu yang dilemparkan ke kolam, efek riak air kolam yang terjadi akan melebar hingga keseluruh kolam. Itulah kontribusi besar seorang berpengaruh kepada dunia. Akan lebih baik jika kita menggunakan pengaruh dengan memberikan kontribusi positif sehingga dapat mereduksi hal-hal negatif dunia. Kesimpulannya, pengaruh keberhasilan seorang mencapai impian tidak akan berhenti pada kepuasan diri sendiri tetapi juga membawa hal-hal berarti pada orang lain melalui semangat positif dan motivasi yang terpancarkan.
