Darkness falls…despair abounds…evil reigns…
Eragon and his dragon, Saphira, have just saved the rebel state from destruction by the mighty forces of King Galbatorix, cruel ruler of the Empire. Now Eragon must travel to Ellesmera, land of the elves, for further training in the skills of the Dragon Rider: magic and swordsmanship. Soon he is on the journey of a lifetime, his eyes open to awe-inspring new places and people, his days filled with fresh adventure. But chaos and betrayal plague him at every turn, and nothing is what it seems. Before long, Eragon doesn’t know whom he can trust.
Meanwhile, his cousin Roran must fight a new battle–one that might put Eragon in even graver danger.
Will the king’s dark hand strangle all resistance? Eragon may not escape with even his life. . . .

Eldest
| Customer Rating: | | If you are into this type of ready you enjoy reading the whole series of books. I enjoy the fact that it continues on with what happens after Eragon left off. |
Fulfilling second entry in the series ...
| Customer Rating: | Wonderfully fulfilling second entry in this series.
More information and some cool plot turns (which you could foresee from hints in the first book).
From my review of "Eragon" I will say it again ... I don't know HOW the movie company is going to convert the second book into movie form since they strayed so far from the first book's plot points. I am eagerly awaiting the second movie.
I devoured the third book ("Brisingr") in what seemed like seconds.
I have asked for notification from Amazon when the fourth (yes, fourth) book will be released - and I am very pleased CP had the thoughtfulness to expand the series rather than leave any good information out.
To the naysayers I say this:
Enjoy it for what it is - otherwise keep the negative reviews to yourself. BTW, MOST stories happen to parallel "Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back". I'm a huge Star Wars fan (I saw it in the movie theater when it was FIRST released) and when I was reading Eldest I did NOT feel like it imitated that story line. It has its own persona.
It's exciting, curious, breath-holding fun.
CP - your second installment is a joy to read. I can't wait much longer for the fourth. Thanks, and keep up the good work! |
Great

Good Buy

Even better than the first book
| Customer Rating: | | If you like fantasy fiction, this is a great series, and Eldest is even better than Eragon. The story really pics up in this one. Of the three books so far, I liked this one the best. |
