Eldest

Paolini, Christopher. Eldest. New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 2005. 668 pages (Fantasy Series)

Eragon is the last dragon rider besides the evil king Galbatorix of course Erogon has just saved the rebels from complete annihilation but he will always have problems as long as king Galbatorix has the throne, but before Eragon goes after the king, he and his Dragon Saphira must travel to Ellesera the elf capitol to finish his very limited training. While his cousin is doing that Roran must fight to protect his and Eragon home the village of Carvahall. Can both cousins survive the Wrath of king Galbatorix?


I this story was brilliant I liked more than the first book. I think anyone who read Eragon and doesn’t read Eldest is a fool. This book is like Star Wars in a Lord of the Rings setting. I had to force myself to fall asleep when I read this book, it was so amazing. If you like fantasy, I would absolutely recommend you this book. If I had to describe this book in ten words it would be: A book full of magic, elves, dwarfs, and dragons, awesome! A must read!
