This kid is a genius. Why can't I write like this? Sequel to Eragon, so read it first, and see the movie in December 2006. [return][return]After successfully evading an Urgals ambush, Eragon is adopted into the Ingeitum clan and sent to finish his training so he can further help the Varden in their struggle against the Empire.

Eldest, the second book in the Inheritance Cycle, brought me just as much joy as an adult as it did when I first read it as a child. The characters remained engaging, the story never felt stagnant or unnecessary, and the world of Alagaësia was just as immersive as I remembered. It was also nice to see the POV of different characters this time, adding more depth to the story. Even knowing the twist at the end, it still hit with the same dramatic weight as it did the first time. A fantastic continuation of the series!

Good continuation though a little weaker writing. Trying to fill in holes, so can be a little tedious. definitely want to finish reading the series.
